Where Have the Days Gone

I can't believe my last post was on the 27th...yikes. i'm really slacking. To say that I've been a little overwhelmed lately would be an understatement. Hmmm let's see, where do I start? On Thursday my son didn't play in the JV football game (he was playing in the varsity game on Friday-woo hoo!), but I made a commitment to take pictures for the team so I still went. Friday my son got to run the ball a couple of times in the Varsity game, we were hoping for a little more, but it was a tight game, 7-0 & he's only a sophomore (can't be greedy right?!) We won!

Saturday I had a photo shoot for a property management co. who wanted pictures of their buildings/landscape (10 of them). I headed out early, but was only able to complete 5 of them & I was exhausted (had to walk these huge buildings, working the angles & trying to get the best possible shots). The pictures came out great, it had just finished raining & there was huge puffy white clouds with crisp clear blue sky as the backdrop.

Sunday our friend's son had a football championship game, stopped by there for a little while then headed to the high school to make signs, candy bags, posters etc for the kids (BIG rival football game this week. it's a tradition.) Straight from there I headed off for my second group of building shots...NOT happy with the results because I got such a late start. The sun was in the complete worst spot~probably have to redo them, uggggh (4 hrs wasted)!

Today I have to get the pictures from 2 weeks worth of games out & the first set of buildings cropped & edited.

I'm feeling a little bogged down, but I know I'll get through it all...breathe!

We woke up on Friday morning at 1:30 a.m. to head over to the high school to decorate for the traditional Edison vs. Fountain Valley Bell game. I've never been able to participate in prior years because I couldn't get off of work. I was finally able to this year. I have to tell you it's A LOT of work but it is worth it! The entire school is completely covered...even the sidewalk. Here's some pics~














Normally I wouldn't have a problem, but half way through it my back was KILLING me. I had to wear that stupid boot since I broke my foot and a tennis shoe on the other foot. I was totally lopsided...which I didn't even think about at the time. But three hours into it I was DYING! I felt like an old person...I was hobbling around holding my back.

Everyone went out to breakfast afterwards, but not me...I went home took four Advil & went to sleep. I was planning on waking up to go to the pep rally, but I was passed out. I finally woke up at 2:00 p.m. My back was still ridiculous...I started to get ready for the game, took more Advil and with total dread, put on that stupid boot. I'm over that thing!!

The good news is we beat Fountain Valley, no we KILLED them...it wasn't even a contest. Funny because it was televised and hyped up so much. We were both 8-0, with the winner basically sealing the championship. So it looks like we will be the #1 seed heading into CIF Championships in two weeks.

My back is feeling better too...just can't wait to be done wearing this boot. Next year I will make sure I'm not such a clutz so I can enjoy it a little more!

WAY TO GO EDISON!!
