Have you ever. . .

Had those times in your life where you just thought you would never get caught up? I am there right now. Every time I think I am getting close, more projects pop up. Today for example was supposed to be my catch up day but turned out entirely different.

Last night, we had the final Fat Friday game (county rival) at the school where I teach. After the game, I stayed behind to take a few requested shots of the marching band so they may submit to the upcoming inauguration ceremonies in Washington, DC. All pretty harmless, if you include all the trash left behind in the stands that had to be photoshoped out in post production. Anyways, I got home and began the enduring task of photo processing. This time we had 907 images to process. Before you freak out, let me tell ya, that a normal night or assignment will be between 300-500 images and I can process those in an hour or so from start to finish. So I was hauling butt to get things going. About 12:30AM got a message from the newspaper wanting to know if I was going to upload my images. Long story, a bit short, I got to bed around 2:30AM!
This morning I woke at 8AM, got up and almost immediately started working in my office. I had some team photos to send to the coaches for names. Then I was off for the youth football championship games and a womens basketball scrimmage. In total, I shot 4 games today! Btw, the basketball was going on at the same time of the football games, 5 miles away!

I finally got finished submitting to the newspaper today about 4:30PM, then decided it was family time! We went to our church for a benefit BBQ! NO, it was not eastern NC style, but it was still good. We went over to the in-laws for a visit with them and my nieces and got home around 8:30PM. I really needed the time away. I have not had much time with just family and not actvities in a while. It is now 12:30AM, and I am beat but wanted to write in my blog. I am hoping to write at least 5 out of 7 days a week.
