"Becoming a Parent"

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:11:02 +0000

For those who don't know, I work at a preschool as the asst. director - and run my biz too. I also have a 3 year old goddaughter - and she's been going to a different school- and in home care center - since she was nearly two because it offered all day care and took babies (my school starts at 2.5 and pottytrained). Anyway, for the past year I've been suggesting to her parents that they consider moving her up to a real school... and last night, the day before we have to post class lists and just days before we actually start on Monday... her mom said yes, I want in. (Her dad's been for it for months). I was shocked since I figured at this point they were staying another year there...

So... starting Tues... I get her in the morning before school starts and then I'm taking her from 3-6 since my school closes at 3... In 5 days I'm about to go to full time parenting lol!

And now I get the challenge of figuring out how to juggle my work, her school, my photography and her after school! ...

I've already got a session on the books Tuesday for one of my birthday club clients, and I'm supposed to proof next Thurs. with the b-day club session from yesterday... time to get my new 'assistant' trained!

(and time to go read all the 'life juggles' threads on parenting and photography!)

Facebook Fan/Like Pages

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 01:00:01 +0000

I received this email and for this price i bought the videos, haven't watched them yet but i'm sure there will be a few gems in there to make it worth the $14.95 Aus which is less for you in USD.

I've had a few people question the price of the Facebook training
video series. It really is just $14.95 Australian - so if you're in the
US it's even less.

This amazing product teaches you how to set up Facebook fan pages
and make money from them. It's 9 short videos put together by my
colleague in the US, Jason Fladlien.

I'm already using it myself and seeing a spike in traffic to my
page.

You can find out more here:

<<< http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6uPbp&m=J9QZB1vZjOP2lu&b=4VrdTXL3xmBGO1dloZk88w

You'll learn how to set up a welcome page (he gives you the code)
so you can grow your list, plus lots of other insider tricks.

You can even use this knowledge to set up your own home business
creating Facebook fan pages for other people - who are willing to
pay up to $US250 for this service alone - and once you've had the
training it takes you only 30 minutes to do.

Again, check it out here:

<<< http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6uPbp&m=J9QZB1vZjOP2lu&b=4VrdTXL3xmBGO1dloZk88w

We all know we should be using Facebook for business - this is the
first truly affordable product I've seen which shows you how.

Here's to your success!

can i have a moment

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:31:48 +0000

so cant really talk about this anywhere else and just need to get it off my chest somewhere

when ex left me pregnant, he also left me with a mountain of debt, which falling pregnant, not being able to work has just sat there, ive been trying to get money aside to pay the bills, but have been earning just enough to keep me and kai afloat, with the current economy i just cant find find other work, so my photography has been it..

now the bills has gotten to a point where i cant stall them anymore and its now come to a point of attachment of goods, the only things of value i own, are my pc camera and studio equipment.

i just dont know what to do anymore, been suffering panic attack and nightmares for 3 weeks now and have barely slept and after the guy showed up yesterday threatening to take stuff i think i might have cracked a little and gotten to a point where i really think whether any of this is worth it and if im totally honest the only thing that stops me drinking the couple of bottles of painkillers i have in my medicine cupboard.. is kai..

i just dont know how many knocks im supposed to take, everyone says keep positive and look up, but to what.. and how long.

Ive sent in my application to work as a cruise line photog, the job is for 8 months on 4 weeks off starting in september, so which means ill miss kais 2nd birthday and see him again just before his 3rd, but what else can i do, so yes.. suicide is looking like a very good option

bf is trying to make me promise not to do anything stupid, but i just cant seem to make the promise, he hates that he isnt closer to look after me, and he cant even help finacially or he would..

agh i dunno.. just need to tell someone.. its on days like this that i hate being alive.. thats bad.. right?
