OK, so it's been about... 11 months since I've updated this journal thing. Obviously lots has happened since then.

I've been in a rut when it comes to drawing and/or painting. I have no idea what the deal is, but everytime I even THINK about picking up a pencil or a paintbrush, I just feel... blah. I dunno why! I use to love drawing and painting.

Let's see what else. Not only is Christmas around the corner, but we're already planning our trip to the States for next year. Talk about a headache. Airline tickets, car rental, not to mention the expenses of just being there. I want to visit the States, I want to visit my family... But I just don't even want to deal with the headache that goes with planning the trip, and I really really do not want to think about all the money that's just going to VANISH in the matter of a few weeks.

UGH

I'm not even going to start in about my kids... Let's just say they're at that 'special' age where I'm constantly wanting to squeeze their heads off. They drive me nuts daily.

Life isn't all bad. My husband made Officer in the German Navy! YAY! I had an AWESOME summer job which allowed me to go to Berlin every week. And yeah, life is.. Just life.
