you know it's December when...

I haven't updated anything for 2 weeks plus!  Yikes, well, here's the run down of what's been going on in my life and why I haven't been available...

I get to work around 6:45am every week day morning.  I walk to work so that requires me getting up that much earlier.  I work for 9 - 10 hours, however long my schedule permits and then I'm off to a Dicken's Carolers gig.  I LOVE caroling, but it can be quite taxing and exhausting.  I usually get back to my house (on week nights) around 8:30pm.  That's 14 hours of being "on" either working or singing (which is more work than working! :).  I LOVE caroling...promise...not complaining.  I get home feeling completely worn out and have just enough energy to sort through mail, heat something up in the microwave (hopefully nutritious) and fall into bed! 

Then on weekends I usually spend a chunk of singing or between gigs away from home.  Sunday's are pretty mild but Rolando and I usually go up to the parents house to visit with them and therefore don't get much time at the house. 

So, have the dishes been cleaned?  Has laundry been washed?  Has the grocery shopping happened?  Does the car have gas?  Probably not...and you know what.  I'm okay with that.  This baby of mine needs me to sleep rather than stress about doing the dishes and making myself exhausted sitting at the laundry mat.

Wow, I feel good just saying it.  It's amazing what writing can do for the soul.  Even just the small, seemingly insignificant, blog post.  *sigh*
