Day 24 - Natasha King Photography - Project 365

Snow Day Part 2. Sunday, and still snow all over the place. (Apparently they don't plow the roads down here in Virginia.) Wildman was not so accommodating today. First we wne t outside and I let him touch the snow. Big surprise to him, it was cold. After that he was not interested in touching it again. Soooo we had to brave the elements and go somewhere, any where. We ended up at Target. All's well that ends well.

Day 23 - Natasha King Photography - Project 365

Snow Day! After much hype from the weatherman and much doubt from me, we did, infact, wake up to several inches of snow. It also continued to snow, all.day.long. Wildman was not happy with being in the house all day but he took it all in stride. Once the snow let up for a few minutes I ran outside to take some pictures. The thing that caught my eye was how out of place the garden figures seemed covered in snow. This one was my favorite.

Day 22 - Natasha King Photography - Project 365

Time which should be objective (60 seconds in a minutes, 60 minutes in an hour) is actually subjective. Some days seem so long while some days seem too short. Well today was a long day. After 4 blissful weeks of perfect health—my son caught a cold. (Par for the course when you have a kid in daycare.) So with my eyes half open, I sprung into Mommy/Nurse mode. I wasted no time reaching for the Vicks and slathering it on his feet (don't laugh, it works!). Then I gave him a dose of Tylenol, a drink of water, and set up the humidifier. I tried to tip toe out the door but the crying started again. So I had to rock him for another 30 minutes. Then it took me like another hour to get back to sleep. So with the lack of sleep, this day has seemed ten times longer than it should be. Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight. Or not.

Day 21 - Natasha King Photography - Project 365

This morning started with my three favorite words: OUT FOR DELIVERY. After a gift from the love of my life, here is the latest addition to my family. It is the HTC Droid Eris. Isn't she lovely?
I waited patiently for the loud roar of the FedEx truck, then ran down the stairs and flung the door open - startling the poor lady who was ready to stick a note on the door and run. (I am such a tech geek!) And can I just say I am in hot monkey love with this phone. Hot.Monkey.Love. It rocks.

Day 20 - Natasha King Photography - Project 365

Today was a walk around in my glasses type of day. I couldn't even be bothered to put my contacts in. I spent the majority of the day doing laundry and cleaning. Then I spent some time updating my website and researching furniture that I hope will make a guest appearance in my new house. (Wow what a boring day!) Also scheduled to make a guest appearance in said house is the 27 inch iMac. Drooooooool......

The end of February better come quickly. My poor laptop screen is hanging on by a thread.

Day 19 - Natasha King Photography - Project 365

Today I went about my normal routine, but after picking my son up from daycare and driving back to the house I noticed that the sky was still blue (much to my son's disappointment). He searched the entire sky, asking me several times "Moon? Moon?" But the moon was just barely on its way out.

Darkness is the death sentence to the day. When it's dark outside you can't bring yourself to run all those errands after work or to take that much overdue walk around the neighborhood. So what do you do? You go home and you start preparing for another day. But! When you leave work and the sky is still blue, you feel like "Hey I can still do stuff." So you run all your errands, hang out late and end up getting to bed later than you planned.... (but I digress) It's happening people. The days are getting longer! I can already feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. So let's start our countdown to the first day of spring - March 20, 2010.

Day 18 - Natasha King Photography - Project 365

Sometimes I wonder exactly what is going on inside his head. Today was a particularly trying day for the both of us. We went to run some errands and hit Taco Bell for lunch. I left him at the table with the tray of food and I turned to get some napkins. In a split second he had snatched the tray and managed to waste all of his nacho chips on the floor. At that point the crying started. He recovered from that and then threw a fit in Target because he wanted to ride in the bottom of the cart and not in the top. By the time we got to Walmart I wasn't going to take any chances. I yanked his portable DVD player out of the car and placed him the basket and turned it on. I walked through Walmart for 20 blissful minutes in silence. So to recap, not going to win the Greatest Mother Award but at least I got all my shopping done.
