Go Hawks!

The week is halfway over. My daughter's musical is over. The performance last night was definitely cute, but she was upset that the girl cast as the lead messed up her lines (of course that was the part that my Hayleigh wanted).
Tonight, I have awards night for my older two children. I am excited to see what they will walk away with, but I regret to say that I will be glued to my cell phone during the ceremony.
Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Play-offs is tonight. 
As a hockey family, we take the sport very seriously. My children know that I will be preoccupied with the game, but I will put my phone down to take pictures of their awards.
Speaking of hockey, we have less than two weeks before my daughter's summer hockey league starts up. As much as I'm not looking forward to waking up at 6 am two days a week and dragging out five children for a 30 minute car ride to spend an hour in a hockey arena when the little children will be monsters, it's important to Hayleigh, and I will support that.
Despite the busy week that we have had this week, I do believe that I have finished Self Inflicted, and started on the next book in the series. As I approached the end of the book, I decided I would turn it into a series. Book Two, which is tentatively titled Scars Fade, is off to a good start.
I still have a lot of editing to do on Self Inflicted before my deadline of June 16, but I will be able to complete it in time. I just hate the editing process.

Music = Life!

Ok anyone who knows me personally knows how important music is to me. About six years ago, I guess you could say I had a crisis of faith. My faith was music. I had lost a really close friend of mine to suicide, and since he was the drummer of my favorite local band, I had no desire to listen to music anymore. In the car, my stereo was off. If my boyfriend at the time was playing music at home, I would put on noise canceling headphones just to drown out the sound. I didn't want to hear anything that would remind me of my friend. Of course, being a drummer in a popular rock band, his friends and family put together a benefit. Several amazing local bands played that day. I couldn't not go. During the first three bands, I sat outside. I couldn't bring myself to jump back into the world of live music. The bassist of one of the bands stepped outside for a cigarette between sets. We started talking. Stu will never know how much he helped me that day. We talked about absolu

Facebook Rant

Okay the only thing worse than experiencing a death in the family is reading about it on facebook. My grandma passed away at 7 this morning. About 9:30, I read a post on facebook from my cousin. No one thought to call me. No, let's let everyone find out about it on facebook. Sounds like a great idea. Or not. Seriously, it's freaking bullshit. I'm pissed! This is the THIRD family member that I had to find out about the death ON FACEBOOK! Losing my grandma is bad enough. Finding out about it by reading words on a page that have already been read by hundreds of people BEFORE FAMILY WAS EVEN NOTIFIED is not the way to find out about it. I saw comments on numerous facebook pages saying "sorry for your loss" or along those lines before I finally got a hold of a cousin. This happened at 7! I found out at 9:30. It's almost 11 now and my own mother STILL hasn't said a word other than commenting on a picture asking if my kids were okay. Um. NO ONE IS OKAY. T

Parents Live in Fear...

For the past week, children in my hometown and surrounding areas have been forced to spend their school days in a soft lockdown. While the younger children don't really realize they are even in lockdown other than missing out on recess, the older children know exactly what is going on. For a week, since the gun store in Janesville, Wisconsin was robbed, these children have been robbed of their freedom. Taking recess away from these children when it is finally warm enough to go outside and play is a nightmare for them! I, like many other parents in my area, kept my children home from school a couple of those locked down days. The first day that I kept them home, I actually had a child throw a complete fit because she couldn't get a stress ball if she missed school that day. Well, is that stress ball more important than your life? I think not dear child. The suspect has finally been found. Parents can breathe a little easier knowing there is one less madman on the streets mak
