This is a picture of Amani that I took at my mom's the other day.  He is so cute...of course he's my nephew and he's a baby so he has to be cute...but even if I weren't at all partial to babies...I would think he's cute.   He has the best smile and he's starting to coo and "talk" to us.  Here he is telling me about his day...   He is a happy little boy but let me tell you...he's either smiling or screaming...no in between from what I saw.  I pumped his legs (to relieve all of that pressure - it's a proven technique) and gave him airplane rides and he loved that.  

Noah had his first day of "regular" school today.   He just looked so old walking down that hallway with his little Diego backpack.  We had 45 minutes between Ben & Noah's school times so after we dropped off Ben we went to Jenny's to visit.  Noah ran around in the backyard with Garp (who is one of his "bestest dogs") while Jenny and I talked.  It was so strange not having Ben there and then to have 2 hours with NO KIDS...OH MY...I didn't know what to do with myself.  So I sat here on the computer and uploaded pictures to ShutterStock (a place where people can download my photos for a fee and I get paid) and then I started to make my Moo Card Magnets.   I haven't used Shutterstock yet but I'm hoping they will accept my photos and I can make a little money here and there to save for the camera I want.  I settled on the one I want and right now it's $1000.  That's a lot of money for us and I feel guilty for even wanting that camera...but on the other hand, I really love to take pictures and I think it's worth the money.  Especially if I can make some money from it someday.   So, I have to come up with $1000.  That's hard when I don't work and we are not rolling in the dough here.  We get a nice Tax Refund in early spring but we are planning to use that to pay off the car.  So it's up to me.  I'm tempted to find a part time job but I don't think it would go over well since I'm already gone so much in the evenings for different things.  I can't use child support (because I don't get it and when I do it goes toward other things - school things and things for the family).  I'll find a way.

We are getting Comcast Broadband Internet service Wednesday.  I'm nervous.  I'm sure I'll love it but I don't like the thought of my things being messed with.  We've had AOL Dial-up since about February of 2003.   I'm a bit of a creature of habit.  I like what I know.  So we'll see how it goes.  And I don't know for sure but I may get the National Geographic channel!!! That is enough to make me happy for a while.

Well, I suppose I should go do something about dinner.  I did really well the past two weeks of making dinners where we all sat down and ate together but this week is not look
