mother's day photobooth

morning morning monday morning. i'm so emotional today...i should put a self-imposed blogging ban in place. hormones, emotions, cramps, and a cellar full of water. we've never "gotten water" before (boo kept making fun of me for saying this all weekend) but this storm is just too much for our little house. half a foot of water in a couple of hours yesterday. our two kayaks in the basement were floating...floating! so boo and i decided to carpe diem, put on my boots, got an umbrella (thanks dr. j!) and i took a little boat ride. cleaning up my measly four bags on things that got ruined...stuff i was going to donate to the salvation army, and a box of recycling, i thought about the hurricane victims and how hard it must of been for them. it really put it into perspective for me. so even though we have no heat, no hot water, and a basement full of water, i know that there's an end to it and we still have our health and our family and everything else that matters.
yesterday was just one of those days. a comedy of errors. the weekend needs to be longer. my bangs need to be longer.
i do have to give a huge shout out to my boo because he really stepped up yesterday when i was crying and being a hormonal mess and cooked for me, made me pumpkin bread from scratch, swept my floors (this was strange), played with my misbehaving children, and watched project runway season one with me. it was the worst of days, but also the best. and boo got it on video and took about 1,000 pictures. can't wait to see them.

nice set!
i was wondering how you might be faring... we are soggy but safe.
Sorry about the floods, lots and lots of rain, for many days. I am thankful Boo was there to take caribou. The image of the kayaks floating in the basement is rather amusing. I thought of you on the 12th and meant to call, as I think it was your due date (of course reaching way back in my mind to a conversation between me and Jojo on a couch in Fall of 2002) this was pre me knowing you personally. Feeling the love as our girls are almost three. HALA
the water...i know...no heat...right there with you! is this crazy? my son said he wanted to swim in the basement...hope for dryer days and sunshine (remember that?)
hey, thanks for stopping by with that booth info, that was a bright spot on a gray day :)!!!
