I found an old link to my nephew's blog....and actually *remembered* how to add it to my subscriptions here. Guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks...
That being said, I really am quite proud of Jared and his many talents. He may not realize it, and I know I haven't said it enough (ever to him directly??) but he is one cool kid. Ok, he's not a kid at all anymore, but I still think of him as MY nephew...and if he's still a kid to me, I'm still young.
Jared's talents span so many different areas I can't even begin to fathom how he can possibly BE so talented and creative. I'm actually pretty envious. From artwork, to playwriting, to songwriting, to directing and acting...and he's wonderful at them ALL.

New year, many changes~ stress level high
It's 2009 and apparently the year for changes.
I found out a couple weeks ago that the Branch that I manage will be closing. Thankfully, all employees are keeping their jobs, but it's a stressor anyway. New responsibilties, new branch, major changes.
Thursday, I took my daughter to the doctor who decided she needed to change her meds. My ex is disputing this need (I wasn't aware he got a medical degree in the last 5 years...) and is giving me fits about the medicine she's supposed to take starting tomorrow. Why does he have to be such an idiotic moron?? *sigh*
My step-daughter has been nothing but trouble since she came back from her mom's. Last night she was caught lying AND stealing from another kid at school. *double sigh*
My husband finds it necessary to work on an RC helicopter instead of dealing with his daughter and her issues. I won't deny him freedom or fun, but I can't talk to him anymore and it's really wearing on our relationship.
My duties as President-elect for the Chamber of Commerce are getting to be cumbersome, but I can't admit it. I need to excel in this area for myself and for my company. This could be a GREAT career booster if I can "shine" and make it through the next two years...
I hope to keep this blog updated because it may be my only outlet to remain somewhat sane during this year. I hope I can remember to visit and update it regularly...
