Back to School
Yeah!!!!! School started yesterday. Now, don't get me wrong...I LOVE spending time with my son, 6 who started 1st grade this year, but the constant announcement "I'm bored...sooooo bored" that echoed through my ears on a consistent basis for last 2 1/2 months needed to end. It was that or the constant beat of the club penguin music blasting from his computer that sent me to my glass of wine each night ;-) No seriously... I do miss sleeping in that extra hour and getting to do whatever we wanted with him when Joey and I didn't have work or auditions that day but it'll be nice to get back into a routine each day...something that us actor folk already have trouble with, much less compounding it with a 6 year old who's bored! Now I only have to hear my 2o month old say Mum, Mom, Mommy daily. Yep, it's back to goal oriented weeks for me...or at least that is my intent.
I am still working on my 10 songs for my album. There may be a bit of a wrinkle in my first song that was recorded but I'm hoping to resolve that by the end of the month and enter business much smarter and with goals in mind for all parties for the next 9 songs;-) I am still very excited about the process, even though sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed by the process of lead sheets, guitar lessons, learning music theory, and dealing with finding the right people and contracts. It's all new to me and has been a real learning process.
The PTA treasury position has taken over my week...I have been dealing with budgets, pictures, welcome wagon, and mtgs for the new school year. I'm wondering, "why did I volunteer for this?" I'm telling myself that after next week...the back to school picnic is tomorrow and the first association meeting is next week...it will all settle into a comfortable rhythm and not take over my life this year!!!! Lord knows I don't have time for it too!!!!!
On other career notes...I just decided to work with a new manager...Denise Fisher at Candy Entertainment. I'm very excited about the new relationship and hope that it will help open some doors for me in the next few months. That compounded with my music and the shows Joey and I are going to start producing (some of which will be promotional packages only until we get a partner involved) round out my goals nicely... I am very happy going into the last part of 2008 with a renewed outlook on life!!!!! YAY
