Blue

Today has just been weird...the last several days, really. I've slept most of the day, but when I am awake I just feel drained and weepy. I read Jamie's myspace blog and her week has been total crap, too. Is it just the start of the new year that has everything so chaotic?

David was in the studio today. He recorded for some guy who had a project of some sort...I dunno. I'm still real sketchy on the details, but he said it went well. Last night, he had a wedding gig and Thursday night he had his first-ever gig at the Blue Room -- and that's kind of a big deal. The Blue Room is a legendary institution in the Kansas City jazz scene. You achieve some real status as a "professional" player when you play there. And to think, he hasn't even been in the scene up here for a whole year yet. He's doing really well and playing in multiple groups. Last week, he had either a rehearsal or a gig every night of the week except one. This coming week is pretty much the same. He's gone during the day for classes and he's looking to add a job to all of this, too. All of this exposure is great for him, for us, and he loves it...but I wind up being at home with no purpose outside of the house more and more. I know he's on the right path...I can feel it. It's just hard to be patient, especially when you can't see the finish line.

Well, David and the kids are back from the store now. Everyone is hungry and ready to eat right now. We're having breakfast for supper, like we did over spring break. I know there must be something wrong with my hormones, sugar-levels or something, because just thinking about having pancakes makes me cry. The last few days I have really wanted to talk to Lauren...but then, that's another post.

I may write more later tonight, I just don't know yet.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.

Stay classy...
