What's going on...

So much is happening, and it seems I have few free moments.  I have been writing so much for class that I don’t have any time to write on here!
Finally, the semester is over, and today will be my last day of work for a few weeks which is nice, if it weren’t for the fact that I could use the money.  Hopefully, I will be getting a night job soon so that I can continue on in the manner that I have grown accustomed to!
My oldest son will be graduating from 6th grade in a couple of weeks, and I am feeling really old.  The last few years have really pushed me into that middle age bracket, and I don’t know how I feel about that!  I still have friends that are quite young, and some of my friends my age don’t even have any kids.  Sometimes I get a little jealous, especially when they tell me about dodge ball games, softball, paddling, improv theatre, independent film outings, nights out watching a band play, and trips to Vegas.  Sometimes I wish I had done some of that before rushing into the mommy role.  Then sometimes, I look at them and I forget about all that and enjoy our outings together.  I enjoy the camping trips, Disneyland, trips to the zoo, and Disney movie nights.  I love when they kiss me on the cheek before bedtime.  And I swell with pride when I look at my sons and sometimes see a glimpse of the men they are becoming.  I have liberal views on politics, I believe in the power of women, I hope for the future of our country while realizing it’s going to take a lot of work, pray for the men who are fighting a war that has been going on for hundreds of years, and hope that I’ll be able to change just a little corner of the world.  All of this, I’m passing onto them, and that gives me such great joy.  Those are the times when I don’t forget about my age, but I do realize that I just don’t care as much.

Why I love Elliott Yamin

This is the reason he should have won...because he can sing, ya'll!!!! I have heard from people that saw him live at AI that he was the best performer with the best voice. They say it is oh-so-powerful live! Poor guy didn't look hot enough, so he got booted!:-(
Anyway, enjoy
