The Sickmobile
You should have heard my car tooling down the highway today: "Cough cough cough cough cough cough coughcough cough cough......silence.....
Cough cough cough cough cough cough....silence....
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
All 3 of us Moon girls sound pathetic. Howevah, I think we feel better than we sound. I broke out in a total trunk rash last night as the virus made its way out of my body.
Allison, I KNEW you would either want the soapnuts, or have them already. Rock the soapnuts!

Crickets
It's sounding a lot like crickets around here...anyone still out there reading????
1. I went to the grocery store with my shirt on inside out today. Sounds about right as of late.
2. Natalie is taking a wicked-long nap - should I go check on her (or not) for fear of breaking the plane of napdom once I enter her atmosphere?
3. Lily can be both Linda Blair from the Exorcist and Glenda the Good Witch in the same hour. I am astounded and can't wait for AGE THREE TO BE OVER ALREADY.
4. Our yard is in total devastation and chaos. We finally had the tree dude come and take away the 4 root balls tumped over in our yard. HE IS DOING A HELLUVA JOB. Ahem.
5. I want my mom to come home. I miss her. I need her. (Parents are on a cruise in Mediterranean (I think?) Malta, Italy, Spain...is that the Mediterranean?
6. Making my chicken again this afternoon. Yum.
7. My feet are cold.
8. Since the birth of Natalie and post-pregnancy hair shedding - hair. always. greasy. In less than 24 hours. Hate.
9. Can't wait to take my hiatus. Can't wait.
10. If you're out there, have a wonderful weekend!

Dakota Rescue Needs Us
Hello everyone,
Dakota Rescue is sent emails almost everyday on rescues in need. Unfortunately we are only able to offer exposure on our site and send out emails to our network of rescue supporters right now. Currently Dakota Rescue is at capacity and we have minimal funds and we are not able to take on any of these recent rescues.Please, if you know of anyone looking for a loyal friend or if you can sponsor one of these rescues by way of temporary fostering or sponsor a rescue by donating this would be a huge help. Circulate our emails, we appreciate your support!
Peaches & Larry - These two adorable labs are needing a home fast. Their current foster can longer keep and if need to seperate we can. 7 month old lab mix. Peaches has been spayed. Larry has been neutered. Both UTD on all shots, including rabies shot. Both have micro chips. Both are crate/house trained. Both get along with other animals. Both ride well in cars. Both are good with kids. Basically they are perfect!
Reggie - This is Reggie! My sister Sarah and I were dropped off on a dirt road and wondered up to horse farm. I was hungry and scared and trying to chase the horses. I wondered why my old owners dropped me off never to be seen again. Reggie is wonderful with children and other pets. He is UTD on all his shots and heartworm neg. We are working on manners and learning to walk on a leash. I am a smart boy and have lots of energy! I am looking for someone to take me home and love me forever. He is heeler/lab mix about 6-7 mths. If you have room my sister Sarah would like to come too.
Sarah - This is Sarah!! She is a lab/heeler mix about 6-7 mths old. She and her litter mate Reggie were dropped off on my dirt road and wondered up to my farm. She was hungry and scared and looking for her old owners. She is wonderful with children and other dogs. We are still working on manners and to learn to walk on a leash but she is a smart girl and it won't take long for her to figure it out. She is UTD on all her shots and heartworm neg. She is on heartgard and frontline. Sarah would make a wonderful addition to your family and if you have room she would love for her litter mate Reggie to come too.
Several Rescues - There are 3 dogs and 1 cat. If no one takes them in right away, owner is taking them all to the pound. They are all spayed/neutered and UTD on shots. A man came into the shelter to turn in his three dogs and one cat. He is being relocated to NY and was planning on turning them into the pound. He was talked out of it, and we are trying to find a home for these guys. All play good with other animals, cat would rather play with dogs, and the dogs love cats. They are all potty trained. Please help find a place for these guys together or separate.
Benny - Benny is so special he has his own bio, click here.

Halloween 2008: A Recap
This was the first Halloween Lily actually went trick or treating and she loved it. Daddy, Nana and Boppa took her around my parent's street. She was a ....KANGAROO. Natalie was a baby in a Halloween dress courtesy of Miss Susan. Ha! Very creative, I know.
Lily had a Costume parade at her preschool which was way cute. It was her first "school event" ever. I'm officially a mom now.
Behold:

Natalie out to support her big sis on parade...
Lily's class (there are 15 kids and only 3 girls!!) They are singing their Halloween song, "Pumpkin, Pumpkin Big and Round" to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. We practiced that a lot. That's Miss Joyce there, one of Lily's teachers. She and the other teacher Miss Judy have been teaching that class for 15 years together. Suh-weeet.

Behold:

I plopped Noodle down in a pool of light. Doesn't she look like she's glowing? Speaking of looking like...Natalie looks just like me as a baby as she gets older. I'll dig out a pic of me at 8 months and show ya sometime soon.
Here she comes folks...wait for it...

Awwww...there's our girl!

An Explanation
So I know I sounded all erratic the other day with my "quitting this business" post. and thank you for all your support in the comments!!! i wasn't seeking compliments, really I wasn't. i was venting. sorry for that. however, I am going to take a several month hiatus. no one was mean to me, but people have been this year - I just haven't mentioned it! ask me about some of the drama i've dealt with this year! here's the thing: i don't know how to run a business! are you kidding me? what do I know? I threw myself head first into this like i do everything and have learned along the way. i still work too hard and take up way too much of my life with my business. and that's not fun anymore. over the next few months i'm going to regroup and plan and make the business work for ME. because you know what? i'm damn good at what I do. this i know for sure (thanks oprah.)
I am a wonderful lifestyle photographer and people are sooooo lucky to have me do what i do for their families. ha. i said it. i rule. i wish i could hire me to capture my family (with me IN the pictures too). what i don't rule at is managing my time and my finances. i'm going to work at that and come back better than ever.
the end.

"Did I do OK?"
These are the words I read on the lips of our our President Elect, as his wife joined him on stage after giving his victory speech last night.
Yes Sir, Mr. President-Elect Obama. You did more than OK.
You were amazing!!!!
Happy Hearts in the Moon/Mikulec houses today. I'm so excited on my children's behalf more than anything else.
Words cannot express my optimism and hope on this day.

Penguins are so Sensitive
That is a line from a Lyle Lovett song and today I'm feeling that Saras are so sensitive. I'm not ashamed or weakened by being sensitive.
About to throw in the towel on this photography bidness.
Just about, but I'm going to sleep on it.
It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like I have with this business. Going to give myself credit for that, then I'm going to take my ball and go home.
