Well Hawaii was amazing. Next time, we go without the kiddos. :) I missed Jesse and Wade though. I wish they could have went. They would have loved it.

So we got sneak away last weekend for a couple days with no kids. It really was like a breath of fresh air for me. I've come to the conclusion that I need some zen/peace/whatever in my life. So I've decided to start being a little self serving for a few minutes a day. There really is too much noise in my life right now. Not only physical noise, but mental noise. My mind needs silence occationally to keep functioning properly. How I am going to accomplish this relatively small feat is up in the air still. But if I want to be productive, I have to find a way. I'll let you know how successful I am. Hmmm....

Life Keeps Going On - LIVE it

Update on my life. The kids are doing great. Man, we are so blessed to have such amazing adults. Jesse has moved to Missouri with Hannah to pursue a new career. Wade is busy being a father to my amazing grandchild. Gabby is back to school to be a nurse practitioner. Kaelan is still going to Spokane Community for a Criminal Justice degree.

The longer I am in it, the more I absolutely despise it. Why you ask? Let me enlighten you. I consider this industry similar to politics. Who is kissing who's butt and how hard seems to be the norm. I am not that person. I like to be genuine and not fake with people. I tell it how it is and I will NOT take you to lunch to get business out of you. I'll take you to lunch if you are my friend and I sincerely like you. Another reason I am starting to loathe this business is the decline in advertisers thanks to DIGITAL. Radio and TV are no longer the best option when it comes to getting the word out there. They are still effective, yes. But corporations are not taking into consideration that there is attrition and budgets need to be set at a REALISTIC goal. The "10% increase year over year" rule is simply ridicu...
