Inspiration

It's been a dream of mine for quite some time to open my own tattoo parlour. I've been thinking about it alot lately because I'm not liking where I am in my professional life. But then I think that it's a dream that'll never come true. I can't tattoo- you have to buy your own stuff & apprentice. I don't think I have the patience to sit in 2, 3, 4 hour sessions putting something permanent on someone's body. Then today I got to thinking, well the guy's wife at the place I go to does piercings. I could do that. All I'd have to do is become certified & what not. So I've been inspired by my best friend Ashley who's been trying to get her photography career kicked off to try to follow my own dreams. Of course this won't happen any time soon & I need to do a lot of research because I know nothing about owning a business, running a business, paying employees, etc. It might be something that never happens because of money or because of the economy but it's certainly something that won't hurt to check up on. I don't want to look back on my life wondering what would've been if I would've chosen to actually persue my dream.

Today we stopped in to Auntie Ashley's to visit Tearsa (Ash's sister). She hadn't met Delilah yet & wanted to. Unfortunately, although I had my camera, I forgot to take pics :-\ Delilah decided that after such a wonderful day yesterday she couldn't possibly pull it off two days in a row so she was going to give the lip to everyone. Tearsa, Ashley & Jon all got the lip. After our stop there we went to my parents' for our weekly visit & dinner. Mom & dad too got the lip. Grammy decided to remedy this situation with the goop rags and boy did Delilah enjoy chewing on them (come through teefers!!). Also this afternoon we had a wonderful visit from my friend Jason & his two kids, Emily and Nick. They too saw the wrath of the lip. Poor little munchkin. Of course when safely nestled in mommy's arms she gave smiles all around. Silly babe!! They brought her two wonderful gifts- a little Einstein radio and the fisher price seahorse glow worm thing (thank you again!!).

Below are some pictures from the day- enjoy!

Yes, I got the lip. However, in my defense, she was staring at Tearsa when she started giving it lol.

Good for you checking into what it takes to do something you love!

You know I'm here behind you 110%!

Gosh I suck

I really was going to try to keep up with whole blogging thing but I've totally been sucking. I just have no ambition. Both of the girls are doing great. Delilah just finished preschool today. We had a rough start but it got better. And then she went back to the crying beforehand and giving John issues. She was very happy to learn today was her last day and promptly requested she go to a new preschool. Which she will be in September. Agap.eland! I am so excited for her to begin there. I think (hope) she'll like it a lot more and she'll learn lots of new things. I just hope we don't have the same issues with the new place as we did with the old place. Tatum is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently she's been trying to blow bubbles with the bubble toy grammy got her. It's so adorable as she dip the wand in the spill-proof container (gotta love those), pulls it out and attempts to blow bubbles. She actually did blow bubbles today but of course I missed it becau...

Almost a month since I last blogged- where does the time go? What to write about? I have no idea. Basically things are pretty boring. We've just been doing what John does while I work... going to Target for our weekly Target visit, going to the marina when it's nice, visiting John's parents. We've also visited Ash & the boys for some play dates. Other than that it's been low key which is nice since I only get three months with Tatum. Don't get me wrong I know I'm lucky to have the time I do with Tatum but I just wish I could have six months with her. My mom has since stopped coming during the weekends as I can lift Delilah again. It's not too bad actually- I was worried about it but I'm surviving. I've even been able to get them places by myself. Usually just to visit John at work or for our weekly Sunday visit to my parents. Last Saturday I did make a trip to this place called Wendt's Pork Palace (they have yummy wing dings) with Ashley ...
