A fork in the road

So a lot of things have been happening as far as with what we are planning on doing. I won't go into detail till we know for sure which path we are taking.. Regardless of which ever path gets taken we will be buying a house!! I know it will be our first one and I am so excited/ nervous lol

I had the meeting with the Head of the Early Childhood Special Education Program and after speaking with him and his staff, going over Ekko's screening and what it all means it looks like she won't need any help before Kindergarten :) That makes this Mommy very happy to know that my is so smart and knows quite a bit more than what most kids do when starting Kindergarten :) I plan to keep working with her on things as I can so I can keep everything fresh and refine some of the skills she has..

Ailynne is a goober lol Her vocabulary keeps expanding more and more everyday :) She walks, runs, dances, makes the funniest faces ever lol Just a few of the words in her vocabulary are; Mama, Dada, Soda, do it, doo doo, more, hi, hello(hewwo), bye bye, night night, cup cup, cool.. I have even heard her say watch it LOL but only a couple of times lol She will be 18mons on the 9th!! I can't believe she is almost a year nad a hlaf!! My baby will be 2yrs old September 9th!! This is the fun age though.. But along with the sweet comes the sour and she can through a fit :( She will throw herself on the ground and scream and believe me when I say this her scream, if it were an octave higher, could probably shatter glass lol

My Photography business has slowed down for a short period of time but Easter is coming up and I have a feeling I will get busy again really fast :) Oh and depending on which ever path gets taken I am planning on trying to get things lined up to expand my business where ever we settle down at :) I don't know if it will work but I am going to try after getting my name out there for a bit :) Anywho that's it for now :)Just wanted to give a little update!!

I hope everyone has an awesome week!!

Unforgiveable Stupidity

I am the worst person in the world right now :( I have hurt one of my best friends and it's not something I can take back.. Things were said in a way I didn't mean for them to but it happened anyways.. Do I deserve forgiveness, probably not.. Who would do something like that to one fo their best friends?? I have been emotional and down in the dumps a little and it came out bad today but that doesn't excuse what I said.. I am turnhing into someone I didn't think I was ever going to turn into and I won't say who because it would open up a whole other can of worms that I don't want opened..

I wish there was something I could do or say to let her know how sorry I am but I don't think it will help :( She's like a sister to me and I don't want to lose her but afdter what I said I would completely understand if she never wanted to speak to me again :(

This and That

So things are going alright here lol I am slowly getting the right help for Ekko to help control her ADHD so she can function in school :) She had a Dial 3 screening and when the Director of the Early Childhood Special Education Program called to go over her results with me, he said that her scores showed she was in the average ranger for her IQ.. I told him she wasn't on her meds that day and he said that since she wasn't that she might actually be a lot smarter cause with her meds she can focus and wasn't really able to for the screening so that makes this mommy happy and she will be having a more in depth screening at a later date to see where she really stands and may not need help just the right meds so she can very well start Kindergarten without any aides to help her :)

Ailynne is getting so big and her vocabulary expands more and more all the time :) Her terrible 2's are starting to kick in and she goes through screaming fits.. When she does her fits or does something she knows she's not supposed to she gets time out in the corner for 1 minute.. And she actually stays in the corner for that whole minute, she screams and cries but she stays there... It was so cute the first time she got time out in the corner lol I told her to go to the corner and she went cause she sees Ekko go there all the time haha

John is doing good :) He recently tested for Tech Sergeant, so keep your fingers crossed.. He also put in for BOP to Hill and Mountain Home.. So we should know something by the end of March as to whether or not he got approved for it :) And which ever we get and if we get it, we will be buying a house.. If so things might very well move pretty fast and thats awesome but at the same time kind of worries me.. I have so many friends here I am not ready to leave yet and I also have so many plans for Mandy and her new hootie hoot on the way and if we leave before baby gets here I will miss out :(

Thing are going good with my Photography business and I am hoping it continues whether we leave soon or not.. I have so much going on it's crazy but I love it :) I am always busy and that's good :) I am having a bit of a slow week this week which is nice considering the past few weeks have been so busy it's not even funny lol I have been participating in this 20 week Photography Challenge and it's been so much fun :)

I know things are in God's hands and will happen as he wants them too it just worries me not knowing anything.. Anyways I just wanted to do a little update cause it's been a while :) I hope everyone has an Awesome week!!

Sickness/ Working with ADHD

Well it's been a while since I blogged.. The girls and I have been sick for about a week now :( Ailynne has a double ear infection AGAIN!!! I got her a referral to see an ENT off base to hopefully get her tubes.. Ekko and I have colds :( My best friends right now are peppermints, motrin and theraflu LOL I am slowly feeling better but still coughing and sneezing a lot :( Ekko doesn't act like she's sick so I don't think her cold is that bad..

Things with my photography are going good :) I have 3 Boudoir Sessions this weekend!! I am going to be one busy lady :) I have been doing a lot of 50% off drawings to help get my business booming again, you have to give a little to get a little.. You know it's hard to get better at what you do without having any clients and this way it helps me out and plus my wonderful fans get to have great photos for a cheap price :) I have even considered dropping my prices down again.. I have even considered dropping the prices really low and turning my business into a hobby so that I can get a lot more people interested in having their photos done by me.. I am not sure what to do anymore but I am not giving up but I may take a backseat in a sense on having an actual business.. It's ok it's not that I am giving up but I also can't keep going on with barely having any sessions either :( I  love everyone who is loyal to me as a client and hope they continue to be :)

On another note, Ekko and school.... Well it's hit and miss with her in Preschool. There are more good days than bad but still not enough for her to be able to focus in Kindergarten, so I am in the process of getting her into the Early Childhood Special Education Program at the Elementary School on base :) They specialize in children with ADHD and other disabilities to help prepare them for Kindergarten and on... I am also in the process of getting her more meds to help cause they do help a lot when she's in preschool, they help her be able to stay calm and focus :) I will do whatever it takes to help my daughter blossom in school and be able to help her be great :)

Other than all of that not much new is going on here.. I am hoping we all get better really soon!! Well I am off for now. I hope everyone has an awesome day!!
