I am not a writer. In fact I struggle a lot on how to put on paper what I’m trying to express. I usually write how I speak- too fast and in spanglish… and yes, it’s a real language- ask my mom 😉 Thank goodness for my super brainiac hubby who proofs my posts so I can make sure they are legible!

I admire people who have a way with the written word, who can express their every thought or perspective, can make you feel sad/happy/energetic/love with mere words and who can sometimes make you feel like they are reading your mind and heart and are able to put it into words for you. Song writers are the best example of this for me. There are times when I hear the lyrics in a song and it seems like someone is feeling or has felt exctly what I am feeling and put it in a song. And when I hear that song , it’s usually at the perfect time.

I’ve been having a hard time this summer with my little man. Summers are usually a little tough because him and I are both creatures of habit and routine and summers don’t seem to have either of those. He’s basically like any other bored kid who needs to burn more energy than I seem to be able to keep up with but his special needs make it just a little harder than usual. I struggle with the frustration we both feel sometimes and today was one of “those” days…and then I heard this song- and as silly as it may sound, it made me feel better.
