Can't stop my mind

It is 2:07 am on Friday, August 10 and my head is swimming. Now for those of you who know me, that's probably not too hard to believe. I have been meaning to post for weeks! I have enough topics that I want to talk about to keep this thing going on into the fall. Right now though, I am wondering why I can't just walk into my bathroom, wash my face, and GO TO BED! Kaylee and I are leaving tomorrow with the youth group for a summer retreat. I am not packed. Hannah is not packed to go to grandma's house. I have not made firm arrangements for someone to care for the animals. I can only hope that we both have clean clothes. I am listening to Acappella. My favorite album is Acappella Southern. (that's what is playing now) I put this CD in after spending some time on the FBI website. Don't ask me how I got there, but once I did, I couldn't get off of the site. It is unthinkable what some people do. It's sickening! There are unsolved murder cases from the 1980's! Some of the victims have never been identified. How can someone just be no one? I am deeply troubled about this. Most of you are saying, "why do you read that stuff dork-o?" And I respond...I DON'T KNOW!! I AM CRAZY!! I sound like my friend, Melanie. She always calls herself nutso.

Perhaps I better end this on a lighter note. The girls and I just returned from South Padre Island. W e went with my best friend, Angie, and her family. It was a blast! I had never been there before. We stayed in a condo on the beach. It was beautiful! I was completely mesmerized by the surf and the sand and the sun. We took sand castle building lessons on Monday. That was WAY more fun than I thought it would be. Sandy Feet (sandyfeet.com) taught us all how to construct a kingdom. It is amazing to me how a big pile of sand (not to be confused with dirt) shaped into different sized cylinder shapes can be carved into something recognizable. This woman is awesome! Check-out her website. Our picture and castle will be posted sometime. It was a neat to see the kids all work together thru each step of the process. Blake (14), Kaylee (13), Hunter (13), Ang (?), and me (25) HA!HA! were covered in sand and sweat by the time our 2 hours was up. I'll never read a book at the beach again!

I have a few heavier things on my mind, but with the chance that my mother might read this blog, I'll save them for another time. She says I share WAY TOO MUCH personal stuff anyway. Leann
