Thoughts on my *frazzled* mind

1.  Jeremy is sick.  Again.  Boo.

2.  Everyone needs more sleep in this house.  Brooklyn's been getting up in the night and usually ends up sleeping in our room before the night is over.  And Jack has been staying up too late and having an increasingly difficult time going to bed.  The past few nights he's been turning on the light in his room after I leave and then monkeying around.  There's really no point in working too hard to change it right now, though, because we're going on the vacation at the end of the week.  But let me tell you, once we get back...it's ON!

3.  On that note, I'm not sure the kids can continue to share a room much longer.  Tonight, I turned up the volume on our monitor only to realize I was listening to the neighbors' monitor because Jack had pulled ours down, turning it off.  By the way, I wanted to eavesdrop, but I forced myself to turn it off.  When I went into their room, the light was on, and Jack was standing at his very wide-awake sister's crib, talking to her.  Grrr.

4.  I'm directing a music camp this week at our church.  We're planning to write some music and make a music video by the time the week is over.  I should be working on it right now, but I guess I must enjoy the thrill of wondering if something will end in disaster or not.

5.  Can you tell I have a bad attitude tonight?  Sorry.

6.  Ok.  Now that I've had my moment, here's what I'm super pumped about.  Ryan Seiler has asked me to write piano parts to several of his songs on his upcoming solo album.  In case you don't know, he's extremely talented, and I'm honored to be a part of his project!

7.  And even more exciting still...is all the babies that are arriving in 2010!  I have three good friends due to deliver in the next few weeks.  And several more, including my bro & sister-in-law, later this fall/winter.  And our awesome friends, Dave & Mattea Whetstone, are planning to adopt a baby!!  I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am for them.  And me.  Because our kids will definitely be friends.


I think that's all for now.  Here are a couple of sweet pics of my little rascals.  :)
