April Self-Portrait




I don't know that it really counts as a self-portrait since Kim took it, but I'm posting it anyway (thanks, Kim, and thank you Photoshop. I have many more wrinkles in real life!).

So what's going on in my life right now...balancing, juggling...trying to cut down on my caffeine intake, trying to get really excited every time my son uses the potty in hopes he won't be in diapers until kindergarten, trying to go against every maternal instinct in my body and let my almost-one-year-old cry in the middle of the night instead of feeding her, because she probably isn't really hungry and just wants to sleep with us. Trying to stick to my decision to have a sabbath and not turn the computer on all day Sunday. Amazed how fast this last year has flown and that I'm planning a b'day party for my youngest, and also amazed how girly it will be considering I vowed not to overdo the pink (but you should see the over-the-top-frilly-pink skirt I got for her princess party) - I've gone completely astray. Disappointed that my daughter's journal has four (count them - four) entries from her entire first year thus far. Almost ready to embrace the fact that I'm not a scrapbooker and just embrace digital albums....almost.

Is anyone else still doing a self-portrait-a-month? Let's see 'em! :)

Yes, I am! I have Feb & March for you... no April yet... you look BEAUTIFUL!!! Great shot. So happy, fresh & vibrant. The balancing, juggling, potty training (LOL - there is no training here - well, unless I am being trained! entirely possible), birthday parties... all sounds very familiar :)
