Getting a grip!

I've been so busy with work and the children I've had little time to eat let alone get my camera out.
I've started feeling a bit down that I can't achieve the pictures I have in my head and I don't have time to spend learning. I'm struggling to lose the weight from Christmas, have no enthusiasm at work and my relationship is a wreck, I can feel myself spiralling!!

A friend visited last night and asked me to take some boudoir photos for her husbands birthday, I told her I didn't feel like I was confident enough with the camera. She could see I wasn't right within 2 minutes of being here...
Like any good friend she pulled out 2 bottles of wine and sat there for hours listening to me moan, then told me to pull myself together, snap out of it and get a grip of my life.
So today I did the housework, the eldest 2 are settled watching a DVD and baby is in bed. I've just got my parcel which arrived 3 weeks ago, I've opened the box, just put the kettle on and I'm not going to bed until I've set my kitchen up as a mini studio!

Girlfriends... And yes I will be taking her pictures next week, fingers crossed :-)
