Focus, focus. I am still having problems keep focus. So in another procrastination attempt, I am blogging instead.
This past weekend was 4th of July in Crown Point. Fairly typical with both Pam and Cindy with their 4 kids each, us camping in the front yard. I found it my personal goal to get nearly 2 year old Joshua to smile. That boy trusts no one. I think most of it is the age but a lot probably has to do with his daddy being gone. Shelby was a stay at home dad that is now in Iraq. Michael on the other hand is my smily happy little guy. And talk, talk, talk. He hugged my knees when he seen me.
On Saturday I drove to Indiana alone. Hollace was already there and RAW was in Fort Wayne where he would eventually bring his mom over. I took Sarah and Will and Hollace and Emma over to Sherry’s to swim in her pool. Amy had the baby over so I took a handful of photos.
The next day Hollace and I, Sherry and Andrea went to the mall. I need some new walking shoes. I bought a funky watch as well as the shoes that i will be taking back tomorrow. While in the elevator in the mall I noticed there was a mirror on the ceiling. You know I can’t resist a reflection shot so I shot up. Unfortunately Hollace and Andrea already got out of the elevator and the door shut again before I could get my shot. The family waiting from where we came from was wondering if we rode the elevator for fun. Sherry and I had a good laugh –Elevator– our daughters were embarrassed.
After that we walked around Crown Point to look at the bulldogs on display around town. I guess every town seems to be doing this these days after Chicago had their cows. Fort Wayne has elephants, Highland has ducks, Louisville has horses and Baltimore had fish. I have yet to upload my bulldog shots yet.
The next day was 4th of July. Went to the parade, had our picnic then off to the fireworks where it started raining.
Tuesday me and RAW had eye appointments with the doctor Sherry works for. They dilated our eyes so I couldn’t really see the frames for new glasses after the appointment. I eventually went back and picked out something different. I should rephrase that, I didn’t pick anything out, I was going by Sherry’s expertise. We will see, she called today saying they are in and she is anxious to get them to me.
All the kids went to the beach but because of my dilated eyes I thought it wasn’t a good idea to go alone.
That evening, I drove home alone. RAW was back in Fort Wayne taking his mom home and Hollace, with the kids at my mom’s. RAW picked Hollace up on Wednesday morning as I went back to work.
I got to figure out how to focus and quit procrastinating. I have some ArtWorks website stuff to do and a freelance job that actually happened. Instead of actually doing the job I am spending the money I got from it. I just bought a Epson PictureMate portable 4×6 printer. It is too cute and it prints good too.
