This week's theme ~ furry

Probably one of the best shots I've done of our golden, Max

It's my "birth day" too

Wow! It's been 18 years. Something that is so hard to believe. I sit here and try to think of where all the time has gone. Why has it moved to fast?

January 29, 1991 at 4:36am you entered this world.



I was as old as you are turning today. Growing up for me wasn't an option anymore. I had you to take care of. You brought so much joy to my life, that you will probably never realize. Between the colic, the bumps, bruises, stitches and surgeries you have always been my baby boy.



You started growing up so fast. Before I knew it, you were starting kindergarten, telling me how you really felt and becoming my little man.

We've been through so much together, somethings that parents probably shouldn't go through with their children and through it all you've been right by my side.



You've grown up so much. To think that this year my baby will be an adult, graduate and go to college all in one year is something that I thought would never happen to me. You aren't supposed to grow up. You are supposed to always need your mommy but I couldn't be more proud of you right now.

You've shown so much strength over the years and have become such a wonderful young man. I admire you for your sensitivity and courage.

I can only hope that with this birthday you will understand the joy and happiness that you have brought to my life. Eighteen years ago I made the choice that would change my life forever.

I wouldn't give it up for the world.



Happy 18th Birthday Matt!
I love you!

Wow! What a week. Just in time to start another one all over again. Except this time it won't be so damn cold!!

Ice on my truck!

And for my 365's, I was attempting to do the whole multiple kid in a picture thing? Ya' know, mack out my mad PhotoShop skills....HA! I couldn't get him to sit still long enough to get the different shots.



Now...you can click the WW button at the top and see more winners this week.

Eh....I've been called worse

So in the last 2 days I've been called a few choice words.

Selfish.

A bitch.

Inconsiderate.

Among others.

All of this...from my teen's girlfriend. Why? Because I would like to spend his 18th birthday with him. I know, how fucking inconsiderate of me, right? How dare me make plans for his birthday, on his birthday, with the child that I gave birth to 18 years ago.

This all stemmed from me making plans on his birthday. He works evenings, nights, so he requested next Thursday off so we could do something. The girlfriend made plans with all of his friends at a different place.

But hold up! I have talked to her about this and what I had planned on doing. I even talked to her this past Tuesday morning and all was fine. Told her that I didn't want him taking to many nights off work since he only works 20 hours or so a week to begin with. She agreed and said she'd talk to all his friends and make sure everyone was there.

Tuesday night. 10:15 I get a text. 'Sorry, we've made plans for this other place so that's what we're doing.'

Ummm yeah thanks. That was my response.

So as it stands, I'm not spending the evening with my son. The one that I carried for 9 months, went through 9 hours of labor with, that I brought into this world...the one that I've raised for the last 18 years.

Yeah....happy birthday.

Yeah, thanks.

One more thing...if you didn't see my plug last week, I'll put it here again :)
I found a great photography forum. Right now it's small, about 40 active members, but there is a wealth of information, c&c, knowledge and awesome pictures. We do photo scavenger hunts, monthly (paying) contests, and goofy "picture below me" type stuff. Head over and check it out.
