Late Night Ramblings from your Friendly local photographer

Sooo! I don’t know that anyone will actually read this. It is just one of those late night rambles. A bit of a personal share really. I am up late working. It is a weekend and around here those are sacred. I am a very family first type person so I am not productively at my best during the day and with the little ones back in school I have to keep to a rigid schedule so I can wake up early to get them off okay. Anyhow I am also a netflix junkie. I was browsing their watch instantly tonight and there were some REALLY old movies. Okay maybe not THAT old. But old enough to provoke me to remember. Remember what you may be asking yourself right about now? Well remember my childhood. Maybe childhood isn’t totally appropriate. My sister’s childhood. You see I am the oldest child of five. I have three brothers and one sister. One brother and sister is from my mom and my stepfather (sounds weird saying that as he is in all ways but the biological kind my “real” dad.) and the other two are from my donor (and I am being REALLY nice here lol!) and my ex stepmother. Anyhow I didn’t really discover my two brothers until adulthood but my brother and sister from my mom I am very close with. My sister in particular is nine and a half years younger then me. That basically means she is mine. She has always been mine. She is now about to turn eighteen in November. And for those of you counting in your head yes I am 26 and a half and yes I have 4 kids LOL! Insanity is hereditary so I am dreading the teenage years a round here. Kidding kidding..kind of. Back on point. Netflix..teenage sister. Grease. The movie Grease. My sister used to watch and rewatch and watch this again. And I grinned and beared it. Because I loved her. Because I love her. And now I am emotional because I am realizing my baby sister really isn’t a baby anymore. She has been a bit distant these past couple of years. I understand at some point you just aren’t the cool older sister. I am married. I have a big family. I have my own business(es) I just don’t have the time. But my sister is just part of me and I am SO looking forward to the day she comes home. The day her and I have that amazing sisterly bond you see in movies. I do believe that will be us. I miss her. I know that she will come over for coffee or wine. Or who knows coffee and wine. And I am sure we will watch Grease. Maybe on netflix and maybe even twice just for old times sake. And if you read this T. And I doubt you will. Know I love you. PLEASE know I love you. I know being a teenager isn’t easy. My heart truly aches for you. But I am publicly professing my love for you little woman. I love you. I am here. I see your pain. You will always be my little girl. From the moment you were born you were mine. So come over.. have coffee and we will watch Grease. And I will sing to you as I did when you were just the size my youngest daughter is. Or you can hold her the way I held you and sing to her for me because she is going to idol worship you the way you did me. And because I am a photographer I guess I will share some photos because she is gorgeous and I am proud..
