It's one of *those* mornings. Ever have one?
The baby woke up early
The baby won't stop crying
The baby pitched a fit over every solution I came up with - a drink, some food, a diaper change, a book, play toys
He was in continual fit mode.
So I gave up. I let him pitch his fit behind me and I came over here to get some work done. During this time I wished I never got tubes put in my ears, or that maybe I had earplugs handy.
But I didn't.
But I do have email. Nice, quiet, unobtrusive emails and outlets to another life, a quieter place....a sale.
A sale?
Yes. A sale.
($30 off the sac, 30% off the covers)
Because apparently Jessica Claire is 29. So now not only am I tired and weary from my badly awakened 18 month old - I'm also feeling old and fat. Instead of clicking the perky young incredibly talented Jessica Claire off my screen tho, I decided to keep reading. Okay...it had something to do also with the fact that the baby had completely blocked my keyboard with his flailing body. I was locked in to the page that I had last opened.
On something that I've been debating the purchase of for the last 8 months or so. Don't let it be said that I don't think my purchases over carefully. You see...it's been a toss up between the suave, young, hip, makes me feel cool Shoot Sac, or the less expensive, practical, Crumpler.
And I just couldn't hit purchase on either one of them. Mind you, I've been using the same camera bag for over 20 years now. yeah. 20 years. For two thirds of Jessica Claire's life I've been using the same camera bag. Almost exactly. I bought that camera bag in 1988. March. These types of purchases are important, afterall, and I remember them.
So now, because my baby was crying.
Because I needed an escape
Because Jessica Claire had a sale and she was only 9, make that 8, when I bought my last camera bag.
I bought me a bag sac.
oh...and this cover
*Insert big I'm excited smile here*
I LOVE those! It's just what I never knew I needed and, since I've been pondering a new camera bag too .. hurrah! thanks!

What could be better than "Tranquil"?

I really, really hope your baby is happy soon. My day yesterday consisted of crabby, whiny, fighting kids. The three oldest. Only the baby was happy. And let me tell you, it wears on you... Love your card and voted for you!

Why don't you email Jessica Clare and let her in on the secret--her life truly IS awesome and blessed, and 29 is not exactly "up there"--in fact, she's still a kid by most peoples' standards! It's hard to be aggravated at someone who is that cute, perky, and positive, though, isn't it? Sigh.

I like your cover choice. I cannot decide. The one I really want is pictured on her blog (the red circles) but doesn't seem to be for sale anymore. Sniffle ..

If your 18month olds fits are anything like the ones my 18month old has been pitching for the last 2WEEKS than you deserve every bit of that purchase! And IF you figure out what is going on with said 18 month old (other than the obvious age issue) PLEASE let me know!

Sharyn, I love reading your posts! They speak to me--even though my son is past 18 months old. . . Markie's such a cutie, BTW!
