Things going round and round in my head

I'm writing about my mother but haven't even gotten started yet. That's on tap for tonight. I'm going to outline it while I watch Idol. Ok so you got me! I'm in the minority in this class because I enjoy that show. :)

But about my essay. My mom is really funny. I told her today she should be a stand-up comic. But what's amazing about her is how much pain she's suffered and still has that hilarious spirit within. That is the essence of what I want to capture in my essay. I hope it will be something lighter and more enjoyable to read. But I'm struggling with how to describe her life which has been filled with emotional upheaval and yet find a way to keep her story "hers" - well, time to go catch up on everyone's blogging and write.
