Where have I been???? An apology

First of all I have to truly apologize for being MIA the past 3 weeks. Life has gotten insane and I have been a little off track. Hubby has been on call for the past 2 weeks and has been working almost around the clock. "The big thaw" came early here in PA. Last week the temps were high 40's to 50's for a couple days and surprise surprise, pipes were bursting left and right. I guess they get frozen and then as they thaw expand and boom - he has a more technical reason but I like the boom theory. My husband is a sprinkler fitter (and fireman) so this was the worst possible week to be on call!!! With him working round the clock, it leaves me with my son, my grandmother, and my aunt who has successfully finished her first round of this new Chemo drug, with side effects of course. I have officially launched http://www.jencarlphoto.com/ - CC is welcome. It is still a work in progress. I am working on the Jen Carl Photo Blog and also My new Money saving blog - Lehigh Valley Money Saving Momma as well. I am finishing up with my job hopefully by March 1 a little later than I hoped and we are in the process of refnancing and taking advantage of the low interest rates. Also car shopping as well - the Edge is finally going! Who would have thought with a newer car we would have so many problems? So between all that I am physically and mentally exhausted... Oh plus little man is 1 on Saturday so add a huge family party in the mix. All in three weeks, plus still working while everything is being finalized...

And then she swooped in. My mom... who could hear the desparation and feeling  of being overwhelmed in my voice yesterday drove 4 hours this morning to come and save my sanity. Thank god for little miracles. She is staying until Sunday!!! I have been wondering what it has been like to sleep and eat, it has been so long I can't recall.

I will now be catching up on emails and posting the tutorials I have been compiling and have a couple stories to share as well.... I have a bunch of PHOTOGRAPHY FREEBIES that have made their way in my inbox that I wanted to pass along. And have a tutorial on how I got my business "paperwork together.  Also I can get to the post office to send a couple of you what I owe you! Woohoo! Again I am sooooo sorry guys.... I will be catching up over the next couple of days and in the weekend.

My Schedule is going to be:

Marketing Monday
Tutorial Tuesday ---- have a great one coming up on making your own photo jewelry
Freebie Friday

and whatever else comes up...... Also my business 101.... I am going to be giving a play by play on how I "officialized" my business.

Hope the new year is being kind to all of you. Can't wait to get all caught up.
