I really wish I would blog/journal more! Not because I have brilliant things to say or anything but for one, to keep me writing but also to help me keep up with all the little, simple but great things that happen daily. You know the things that by the end of the week when you are trying to recall specifics, you completely forget and then you don't feel so inspired to write in your blog or let alone a song.

Music has been a bit of a rollercoaster lately... you know scratch that!!! Excuse me but I'm going to get a little bit ADD for a moment, but I seem to always use the analogy of "life is like a rollercoaster" you know with it's ups and downs yet it is still an exciting ride and all. Well yeah that is true BUT if you really think about it, we say "ups and downs" with "ups" meaning good times and "down" for the low points but I don't know about you but my favorite part of a rollercoaster is just when you are tipping over that hill and then you come soaring down at full speed, your stomach in your throat, your body suspended in mid air for a moment, then you quit breathing for another second or two before hitting that next dip or turn and finally you yell out with all that you have within you.... Yeah, I like the ride down!!! Not in life but on a roller coaster...so that's why I am taking back that analogy a few lines above.

Okay now back to the blog... you thought I was joking about how my mind wanders but anyone who knows me, knows I ramble!!! You know sometimes I think I am two people. I have this artsy side that is creative yet disorganized but then I have this other side where I am just ON! On top of things, very organized, responsible...oh wait then there is the dorky silly side...Just call me Cybil. Okay now I have mentioned A.D.D and Schizophrenia in the same blog. I apologize if there is anyone out there who could be offended by my humor. I actually am very sympathetic to those who deal with learning disabilities and/or mental issues. I used to work in a Psychiatric Hospital for about 5yrs. Yeah I bet you didn't know that did you? And most recently, I have been subbing here and there for Special Ed at various schools. The kids are so precious but I have to say if you don't have a true respect for those teachers and any teacher for that matter, you should!!! I don't think I could do that full time ever again.

Okay last paragraph... mmmm...what should I say??? Updates... Kevin's Granny passed away last week on my birthday and so he flew to Amarillo to go to the funeral. I was soooo sick that day too.(fun b-day..what would have made it even more perfect, is if I had turned 40 instead of 39..haha) The next day I put the boys on a plane for the first time alone so they could meet up with their daddy and attend the funeral too. I put on my brave face but I worried slightly. They are getting so big. Logan is 13 now and Garrett turns 11 next week. Kendall and I just hung out and did girly stuff. We went to cheer, to the movies, out to eat, and a pumpkin farm with friends... (see pics, to see cheer and farm) She is so much fun and so easy. I missed all my guys though! We are all great and music, like I had started out in this whole blog...is getting more and more interesting. I am talking about the "business" side! Pitching, demos, workshops...I will blog more about a song I got on a documentary that was submitted to the Sundance Film Festival. It will also hopefully be sent to the Academy for Oscar consideration and I also think they are putting it in the Nashville Film Festival. Then down the road they want to make a film about the same person. They already have a script. Well, now I am telling you all about it already. I'll let you know if it gets a "yes" to be shown at Sundance.

Well that's it for now. I don't know really why I write these because I think only my mother actually reads my blog. You watch, she will leave some comment about what a "sweetie pie" I am and how she is so glad I am her daughter... :) Love you MOM!!!
