Work, photography, and so much more!

First of all...Monday after work Brynnlee and I went to the Deerfield cemetery. I introduced Brynnlee to her great-grandmother. There were a few tears shed, but I did my best to hold it together. I was able to catch a few photos to remember their first of many visits. Brynnlee wanted to run and play. I'm glad she was in a good mood for the first visit.

Work is insane right now. On top of working full time for one job, I am working part-time for my other job. The second job is keeping my on my toes right now. We have meetings every week, the election is coming up in a week and a half, and of course I am falling behind in my basic filing. I wish there were two more hours in the day. By the time I get home from picking up Brynnlee after work, I have to work on dinner, then of course housework and somewhere I have to fit in working for my second job. Hopefully after a very stressful meeting tonight it will slow down. As winter is fast approaching I hope that it slows down!

I am slowly trying to learn photography and photo editing. If the second job slows down as much as I hope, I will enroll in a class at the New York Institute of Photography. It seems like a lot to juggle, but I can work at my own pace for the class. Which is exactly what I need. I've been dragging my feet, and should've enrolled a long time ago. I am researching lens and other equipment that will be next in line to purchase. I have a lens in mind, a lens hood and external flash. Time will tell exactly what I need.

I am also trying to encourage Jeff to enroll in college courses. He is struggling with work right now. There are a lot of changes going on, and he seems to be getting the brunt of it all. I am hoping to encourage him to complete his Associates within the next year or so. Of course my dream is that I obtain a teaching position and that he is able to complete his degree and look for a job in either teaching or public safety (he isn't quite sure which one he wants to commit to).

Until this day we keep plugging away at life. We can't let the drama with the workplace tear us down. We already let it affect us too much.

I'm off to pick up Applebee's carside to go for dinner, then milk for Brynnlee and home to prep for the meeting. I'm not looking foward to tonight, but I am ready to end this phase!
