Today the holiday season began in our family. Up at 5 am and on the road by 6, we are headed to Virginia. It's about a 6 hour trip so getting an early start with 2 kids is critical. We were so hoping they would fall back to sleep once in the car, but no such luck. And Eliza still hates riding in the car. She hasn't cried but has whined most of the way. We stopped at waffle house for breakfast, kids still in their pjs, and met JP there. We had to sign some band paperwork that needed to be fed-exed today. JP lives an hour and a half north on our way out of town, so that was convenient. We are now about an hour away from our destination. Eliza is currently wearing out "mommy" and I would like to get out of the car. It doesn't help that I still don't feel well. I haven't slept in days due to coughing all night. Nothing seems to help. So my patience is wearing thin.

All Christmas music has started today, so all the progress with the song comes to an abrupt halt. We were getting close to making our way up the charts, just a few spins away from breaking the top 30 on one. But now we have to wait until January to see what God is going to do. There are some more stations that have committed to adding the song in January. So that is good news. Also, the Christmas song, "God Bless Us," that was brand new last year is going to be played a lot this season. It should help get EAs name out there and hopefully help the progress of "Say" in the new year. We will just have to continue to be patient.
