It's not just Bug, though. (Because really, he's three, and this shall pass. I know.) I'm just ..... irritable with many things. My car smells like something died in it and I don't know what (all three cats are accounted for.) I can't keep up with the laundry to save my soul. The puppy bit the kitty and now his tail is broke. I still have a Christmas gift on my dining table that I didn't even SEND. I wasted two hours of my life last night on TM2 (just get your bleeping GED already, Chelsea!) My internet keeps blinking out on me. Every picture I take this week has blurry eyes. I haven't backed up my iPhoto in, um, forever and that sometimes keeps me up at night. My Blurb book isn't working right. You know the weekly iPhone photo week in review I've painstakingly dedicated myself to week after week? That I even upgraded to the $5/month Picnik to make happen? Well, it's not transferring into the book well, because the pictures are SQUARE and BLURBFORBID we have a format for that, so as of now I've got a book with one stupid (title) page done because the rest of it is frustrating me too much to even look at it. As I told a friend complaining about her own Blurb struggles, at this point, I'm putting my faith in a magic Blurb fairy constructing my book perfectly and sending it my way when it's done. Perfectly.
Ahem. Deep breath.
I want my villa back. With a nanny, this time.
Aren't you glad I came out of hiding for this (Aunt Tammy? Are you? Ha! Love you for caring.)
I'll end this on a better note. Upon the recommendation of my friend Katie (who, fortunately for her, is on the short list of people/things that have NOT made my shitlist this week, quite the opposite really) I joined a Project 2012 this year. This one here. Because, obvi, so much free time on my hands. But no, really, I wanted to do this for me. I love playing with my camera and want to get better. Not because I want to be a fancypants photog or anything, but because I'd like to one day have at least half of the eyeballs in my pictures be in focus. Andsuch. So anyway, I decided to combine the project's monthly inspiration challenge with the Project 52, and come toddler hell or high water, I'm making it happen. January's word is "fresh", so my personal goal is one picture each week illustrating "fresh." Weeks one and two. Both of Vivi, because she's not three.

Taking pictures and backing them up and such can be so stressful. Sometimes it feels like a full time job, doesn't it? I so hate when the pics don't turn out cuz it takes so much effort to have these little photoshoots. The pics looks so good on my camera, but when I get them on the computer and see the blur...arghhhhh!
Hugs! Like you said, this too shall pass.
Have fun with the photo challenge, I always give up ;)
And how do you back up your photos? I started to do that, and am just using CDs cuz I have no idea how else to do it?
Hello, I found your blog through a comment you made on an article about making a crafty looking initial out of a cardboard letter. I wanted to reply and tell you it was here: http://www.discountschoolsupply.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?product=2274&es=237530000ESC&utm_source=CSE&utm_medium=weblink&utm_campaign=froogle&cvsfa=408&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=32323734
but
By the way I must say, I love your photography and that photo of your daughter looking off to the side (with the Fresh theme you're working on) was especially breathtaking. I think many of your photos are priceless. You have a true talent.
Its not the same as Blurb, but if you can't get it to work with your Instagrams, you could try this: http://printstagr.am/poster.php. I heard it comes out good. I might try it if I take enough this year!
OMG - I feel you. Livi is 3 weeks away from 3 and is making me insane. My sweet girl has turned into a diva monster. You are definitely not alone. Wish you could come over and commiserate over a glass of wine - at least the 3 year olds could drive each other crazy instead of us.
i think 3.5 is the peak of the peak insanity. whoa. I am thankful to the stars in heaven that i don't currently have a 3yo in the house (my terrifying 3.5yo just turned 4, phew). there is a book called, 'Your 3 yr old, Friend or Foe?' it is so right on. hang in there!!!!! -jakbtx
I felt totally duped that no one mentioned how AWFUL my girls were going to behave at 3! Fuh-reaking awful I say! If it makes you feel any better, 4 gets a whole lot better :) Hang in there...
