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. 


Valentine's Day

Today is V-Day
Single Awareness
Cupids Stupid
Lovers Day
Binge yourself on Chocolate                                            
and Strawberries Day.
Whatever you want to call it. 
I am here getting ready to make dinner.
On tonights menue
Heart Shaped Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Chicken Noodle Soup
and Heart Shaped Cherry 
Giggly Jello shapes. 





I have spent most of the day
being depressed
B/c J is in Wyoming working
instead of fullfilling my 
Romantic Comedyish
Valentine's Dreams
I realized a few hrs ago 
that I needed to stop being depressed
and start being Grateful.
J works sooo hard. 
He is 4 miles under ground 
in below freezing temperatures
Getting slung with Coal Mud and coal Dust


If he were doing what he wanted today
 he would be here. With us. 
Helping me make dinner
Spoiling our kids with Valentines Kisses and hugs




But instead he tied up his work boots
and went to work. 
He doesn't do it for anyone but
Me and my kids. 
He works so hard. 12 hrs a day 4 days a week
To bring home a pay check. So I dont have to work.
So I can be home to raise ouir children
and So we can have everything that we need And want.
I need to remember that. When I get mad that he doesnt
take a day off for Valentine's Day
To "Remind" ourselves of what the holiday is for.,
Love. We already know.
Its the reason why we do what we do.
Out of Love. 

 
So here's to your Valentines day.
May the sun rise and set with Love 
May your life be filled with everthing you need
May you get your secret Valentine's wish.
And remember what is right in front of you. 
I have friends. I have Kids.I have a roof over my head
and food in mine and my kids' bellies
Happy Valentines day.

day in the So Called Life


I just added this Gem to my Netflix Queue
I cannot wait for it!! 
I was a little two young for this show 
when it was actually on for its few short seasons
But Now. I'm ready for it.
I need some Grungy.. Sappy..Drama in my life
To distract me from my Drama filled Sappy life.
Plus.. Who can use a little more 
Claire Danes in their life?? I know I can!!

BTW if you havent logged onto google today
Its This guys' 183rd birthday
By this guy I mean Jules Verne.
He had an imagination that was so beyond 
the ideas of people back then.
His inventions came to fruition 
and he was one of the greatest writers of All Time!!


Well Its dinner time. Plus baby Austin is whining.. 
I'll see ya all tomorrow!!

Craziness.. and Lots and Lots of tears..

things got crazy at my parents house yesterday, 
fighting. Words exchanging
Hearts breaking. 
Jason had to get me out of there.
SO we packed up a few things for the night and ran away to 
My sisters house. 
Spent the night. Went to dinner.
Cried some more. 
Thank god for my sister.
She can be the head that I need to keep
when mine is exploding. 
Jason has also been a Saving grace for me.
he lets me scream. He lets me cry.
He lets me punch and kick.
he lets me scream and yell.
And after everything we have gone through
he can still pick me up and put back my pieces. 
Im grateful for yesterday..
Lessons learned. 
Learned how to act.
What to say and where do say it.

Okay Readers..

this is the only Time you will read about my own business or advertise for it.. So be patient with me and I will Return to my Regularly scheduled programming after dinner..
I have been on and off with myself about starting a home business. I have done it a few times. Some with major Success and Others with minimal or no success at all. I have been fence sitting for over a year about Mary Kay and I Finally took the plunge.
I have been IN LOVE with Mary Kay Products For years and I am always sharing my love for it with everyone. Loaning out my makeup or Facial Cleansers to friends and Family. They would by it of course because they LOVE IT! But I wasn't making any profits from it. So I decided if I was going to spread the word about it I might as well bite the bullet and Sell it! Because I AM SOOOO proud of it.. I Launched my website and Started my business. So if you are looking for Product need to refill or just want to try it I'm your girl! (if you don't already have a Mary Kay Lady) Go to my Website and Order!! I am so excited about this. and I swear on My honor and Love for my Children that I am not going to post this link again!! Just once. and I will go back to my crazy bi-polar and sometimes suicidal self!! :D

Your Love is my drug..

But not my drug of choice..
I live a complicated life.
"Oh the Webs we weave" is my life's motto
I love many. I hate many. I laugh at (meanly) many
I think about many. I Dream of a life I cant have.
The grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side.
And then we get to the other side and we realize
Its Astro-Turf.. Your grass might not of been perfectly green
But it was lush under your feet.
I've always wondered what It would be like to be someone else.
Someone I don't know. Someone who has a super Posh life.
Beautiful, Skinny, Single, Rich.
Would I still be self-medicating?
I want to be addicted to Benzo's.
I want to be addicted to Life.
I want to be free of the burdens.
I wish only for love by many, Not by one.
I wish for hope and happiness.
Not Fear of Necessity.
I'm sounding horribly Selfish aren't I?
I need a break from reality. A Drink or 2.....or 17
I have been happy lately. But not Blissful.
Will it EVER be enough?
I dream of the kind of happiness I want.
A High Powered Job. People Bowing at my feet.
No worries of Sickness or Money.
Not having to answer to a 4 and 7 year old.
Not having to answer to myself.
Maybe Ignorance Is what I wish for.
Ignorant Bliss.. Is there such a thing?
hmmm. My journey will never end. So for now.
I must be content with what I have. Who I am.
Not what I want or Who I wish to be.
I need to keep myself busy. Or I'll Drown in my own misery.
