Dane had wanted me to blog about a phenonmenon I like to call "PMS Amnesia" it happens to me every month when all of a sudden, the world has turned into complete jackasses all bent on pissing me off. Everyone needs to be corrected, the all aren't doing exactly what I want them to do--and it must be fixed *right now* ARGH! Then, about a week later-all the jerks that populated the world have turned into nice people and all is right with the world... then it occurs to me... "Hey, wait a minute.... I'm starting my period... OH! It must have been *ME* that was crazy! I need to chill out."

Then, three weeks later...

SHIT ON A SHINGLE! WHY IS EVERYONE SUCH A FREAKING BUNGHOLE!?!?!?! ARGH!!!!

It's like somehow when I am in the throes of my hormonal rage, I forget this happens each month. :)

So yesterday in the middle this-- my camera- 17 days into a 14 day return period breaks. I was shooting pictures of Nate, they looked so good-and then the camera corrupted all the data. I am so proud of myself that I keep my cool and didn't lose it. I had tears in my eyes and I was seriously teetering on the edge thinking of the $1,600 wasted on a malfunctioning Canon 30D....

I did get the return--thank God.

I am shooting the hell out of the new camera to test it before the two weddings I have in two weeks...

I am making a mix CD to play at our different sittings... I already made a little little kid one and a couple in love one and a teenager one.... I am crafting a family CD- to encourage warm mushy feelings to make people buy more. There it is. Crass as it is. Here's the thing- as hard as I work, if they don't buy the picture then the child never gets to see it and all that work is lost... anyway--

So I've come up with:

I Hope You Dance Lee Ann Womack
Let Them Be Little (this song makes me cry--and exactly gets how I feel about children... actually- I am putting the lyrics here..)

Let Them Be Little by Billy Dean

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand.
You felt so good in it; no bigger than a minute.
How it amazes me you're changin' with every blink.
Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon.

So let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give 'em hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.

I never felt so much in one little tender touch.
I live for those kisses, your prayers an' your wishes.
An' now you're teachin' me how only a child can see.
Tonight, while we're on our knees, all I ask is:

Please, let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.

The so innocent, precious soul:
You turn around, an' it's time to let them go.

So let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give 'em praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let them sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.

Let them be little.

and...

Sign, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder
100 Years by Five for Fighting
Give a Little Bit by Supertramp
These are the Days by 10,000 Maniacs
The Loving by XTC (doesn't really fit well...)

Anyway- I need help!! Any songs get you mushy about your family?
