Husband (long post)

I made the cutest book for him for Christmas and I was so excited about it. Well guess what it didn't make it to Christmas. M. made daddy cry because she wanted him to hold her instead of me. Then to make it worse A crawled in beside me and told me that Daddy was leaving and she wouldn't get to see him again. I mean I am in tears just thinking about it so to try and easy all the heart hurt. I told her that I would let her give daddy the special book. It has all the pictures of the girls bounded together in a material hardcover book. He loved it and was safely packed among the clothes that were travelling back to New Orleans. I hope he realizes how much I love him because everyone is not this lucky. The below examples are why I said that!

Man I took pictures of brought in his two kids. They acted like he was a total stranger. The story came out as I struggled to take the children's pictures. He was deployed to Iraq and his wife left him after six months. This was his first time to see the kids since getting back. They didn't know him and he had no pictures that is why he was in there. He was trying so hard to get them to know him but six months in a 4 year old and 2 year old is a long time. This made me so sad but also so grateful for the way we have made our life so different from that story. My kids love their dad and boy do I. After all he has done for us at least I can do is keep the family together with my prays. So if anyone is going through something like this it is ok you can make it. The Lord is a big enough man to take you through this hard time.

Next sad thing I had to go through. I was taking pictures of a daughter and her elderly mother. Her mother was sick and they figured that these would be her last pictures. I cried through the whole picture time as this mother keep saying pretty mother to her. I hope that my children love me that much when I am old. She keep loving her at ever turn during the pictures. Oh it was so sad, and all I could think was at how bad I have been when blessed with my husbands grandma right her. I hadn't loved her like that, I hadn't spoke love words to her as this daughter did. So M I pray that you kiss her and tell her I love her even if I never said it.

Also anyone had run in with a different personalities. Well a girl at work seems to think that she doesn't have to listen to me and she can talk very rude to me. I have been snappy back to her but I was taught never to be rude back. So I have been taking it. Well the other day she made a remark and one of my coworkers heard it. She told the manager and I was informed that she only is doing that to me. So I need to stand up to her and tell her she can't talk to me like that. Well all of you know that I am not good at that type of stuff. Well me manager asked me would I let me daughter get away with that. NO I wouldn't so she said make her behave the way she should like she your daughter. I don't understand because I don't want to be on of those annoying employees that is always causing trouble. I don't want to be walked all over either. But she is not my daughter and I don't feel I can confront her like that!!! So any advice would be appreciated!!

Sorry for being a downer today!! no-iffer I know of a photographer that charges 75 dollars for the sitting fee and 125 (i think that is correct it was high sounding to me for just a CD) dollars for the CD with pictures on it. So you have a price to start at. This person has been taking pictures a while but she does it on the side of her job. So maybe this will give you something to go from. No matter what I know you will do the right thing.
