What it takes to do what I do everyday.

Acting Skills, Teaching Skills, Writing Skills, Healing Skills, Reading Skills, Math Skills, Cooking Skills, Believing in the impossible skills. And most importantly Binge Drinking Skills.
Not everyone can do it.. and only the Greats
(Like me) can do it well.. Being a Mother, A wife, A lover, a fighter, a Narrator, A director, a teacher of fine human skills is hard work.. And this is how I do it. Or try anyway.

stomach ache..

My Stomach is in knots.
I'm so nervous about my Surgery.
It's making me sick.
I keep getting called a
"drama queen" or a "baby"
But its not that.
I am a singer.
Music = Life
However small the percent
that my voice will change
Or that I will lose it all together
the fear of that .000001%
has consumed me.
I dont really care about anything else.
If one of my children died
I would soothe myself through song.
If I lost one of my arms
I would console myself through song.
If I couldn't sing.
I would
DIE!!
I'm terrified.

Please help me make it through with everything I hold dear
Attatched.
My life is nothing with song.
My heart is nothing without melody.

Zach Wahls Speaks About Family



I was reading Perez Hilton's Blog tonight.
I came across these 2 videos. Ellens first and then I decided to google Zach Wahls.
His video has had over 1.5 million hits since it was posted.
He is so elequent. So Smart. So incredibly normal.
He was raised by 2 women. I am 100% pro-love.
I think we should be able to chose who we companion with.
Who we love. Regardless of our sexual orientation.
I feel like there is always an injustice. An Imbalance.
We live in the FREEIST Country in the World.
And yet we cant even chose who we marry.
Its sobering. Its a travesty.
Chose Love. Fight for Love. 
I am so overwhelmed right now.

ITs so windy outside.

I'm sitting here on a wednesday afternoon
Just trying to make it through the day without getting back in bed.
I am really bad about that. Especially when I'm feeling low.
Lady E is at school and So is X
I have to go pick Lady E up at 3
which is in 45 minutes. I promised her icecream on the way home.
She is so sweet. She can always tell when i'm feeling low. 
She wouldnt leave my side this morning.
She can always make me feel better!

Have you heard the Ben Folds Song "You dont know me"
I love it .
It is my Anthem right now.
I feel like no one knows who I am. The real Kat!
"If I'm the person that you think I am"
you are probably very very mistaken.
I am not deep. But not Shallow.
I'm traditional but non-complient
I'm not happy, but I'm not sad.
I smile when I want to cry
and Cry when I should be smiling.
I have Diarrhea of the mouth.
I am unsensored and crass.
I guess I am a little bit of everything
I get what I want. Not really caring if I get what I need.
I like to be hugged.. I love hugs.. I love the feeling of arms tightly wrapped around me in
my times of need.
I want a hug right now. so i'm going to go snuggle me some BB AK.

One more thought On v-day

Thanks John Lennon
Your songs and beliefs
With and without the beatles
Inspire us to
LOVE AND BE LOVED
They remind us to 
Imagine a world
of peace
and strive for it
They Remind us to be
Sincere in our dealings with eachother
And be Kind.
Your Right.. 
All WE need is Love
it makes the world
A much better place.
