gimme shelter.

This week has been too long. Husband has been really sick and since he's not sick very often, he thought he was dying for 3 days and was in the worst mood ever. Jack and I steered clear and played and chased and had tea par pars and talked about animals and feet. Tornados ripped through Oklahoma on Tuesday. We knew early in the day that it was going to happen so I packed Jack's tornado emergency bag and a little bag for Husband and I. If our house blows away, I want Jack's baby book, his night night animals, diapers, toothbrushes, underwear, and a clean tshirt. I hid my guitars away in their cases and put what little valuables we have left after the great break-in 2010 away in the gun safe. I know this all sounds insane but living in Oklahoma, you've seen how devastating tornados can be and well, shit, if you have the time to kill, you might as well be a little prepared, right? I picked Jack up early from school and had the truck all packed up. We took shelter in a basement at OU, which is very close to our house. Our dog was there, Husband, my 2 brothers and my sister in law. When it was over, I saw this story on the news and my heart completely broke. I haven't slept well all week.
On another subject, I'm thinking about hanging up my guitar. It's hard being in a band, it's like you're married to a bunch of people who don't usually agree on everything. After leaving my other band last week, I'm feeling defeated and far away from everyone. I feel like I haven't really talked to anyone but a 2 year old in a really long time. Maybe that is a good thing, he always makes me happy and is interested in what I have to say. I haven't even really spoken to any of my friends in a while. Sometimes I just quit calling and texting and making plans for everyone but no one seems to notice. Nobody calls or texts me about anything. Ever feel like you just want to move far away and be anonymous? I do, all the time.
It's all a little heavy and dramatic for a blog, huh? I apologize, I'm just having a crappy day. Everyone has them sometime.
Jack had a playdate.
Remember Olivia, aka Little Mariah Carey? She's getting so big! Jack and I had fun with her and her momma. They're moving to Mexico next week.

Jack bumped his head and insisted on wearing a band-aid. Then he insisted i wear one too.
