Finding Myself Again

When I was in high school I painted all the time. I drew all the time. Not just because I had to, but because of something much deeper. I'm an artist. I always have been. It flows out of me in many ways. Through my actions and thinking. I am a very passionate and sensitive person. However, since my dad died almost 4 years ago I have done little painting and drawing. I guess one could say I have been lost... depressed... I certainly feel like I have lost myself along the way. It is like I turned my back on who I was. These past several years have brought about many changes and obstacles, but I hope I am on the path to me again.

Birthday a the lake

Nate's 2!

Yesterday was Nate's Birthday. It was a tiring day involving job worries and injuries. Graham fell yesterday and knocked his head 2 times and began to scream and vomit. Not a good sign according to the Dr. when they finally called me back. The told me to run him by or go to the ER. Well, I decided to run him to the Dr. because he just did not seem ER material at that point and last thing we need is another hospital bill after Garrett's Kidney Stone Extravaganza! So, the Dr. checks him out to makes sure his reflexes and ability to answer simple question were in tact and make sure there was no bleeding in his ears etc. The verdict, possible mild concussion. So, By dark he is acting better and has a knot on his head. We proceeded with McD's and cake. That was proceeded by Nate jumping off his bed and hitting his head, which proceeded in Nate's tears and tears from one EMPATHETIC Graham who had just "relived" his head trauma via Nate's fall. This resulted in Nate holding his neck... Good news is they went to bed eventually, but not without Nate making several appearances though out the night. We hope for a better weekend. More sun, less tears.
