The radio segment that Jonathan (aka “Mr. Looney Tunes”) did for KVNU for the People today on our conversations with The White House went so well and was so successful that Jonathan and I have been invited to have a regular spot on the show!

I love KVNU. It was grand talking on a show with people I consider my friends.

Also?

I really loved working with my husband. It is going to be really fun doing these shows with him.

“Married with Microphones” will be Jonathan and I talking about a wide variety of topics. It won’t just be political, we can and WILL talk about everything. We have a pretty quick banter and frankly…we can be damn funny, we’re polar opposites and we pretty much disagree on everything.

PERFECT.

So now instead of being approached and recognized as I am sitting in a movie theater waiting for Harry Potter to start by a reader who loves my blog (HELLO, KATE! I bet you thought I was never going to mention you, huh?!) we can be known as “That couple on radio that argues all the time”.

Hee.

And SO MUCH OF THIS IS THANKS TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE THE BEST FREAKING READERS ON THE PLANET. The chat room was PACKED full. Lots of people tuned in. That? Was and is very, very important. ESPECIALLY with the short notice and lack of advertising. It was cool that so many were so freaking kind enough to listen and TALK and COMMENT and TWEET! (Holy shiz the live tweeting about it made me tear up when I read all of them. Very sweet and cool.)

That chat room during the show was so fun. I loved talking to everyone. I admit that I showed off and talked about each of you a lot.

I was like a totally proud mama showing off her chickies!

Also, it was cool that people could actually SEE AND HEAR me AND my husband so people know I wasn’t making him up. (Yes, Virgina. There is a Mr. Looney Tunes.)

I am so damn excited. I had the best time. I could do that all day long. Jonathan has been appearing on the radio for 13+ years. I haven’t done it nearly as long or often but I love radio as a medium and am excited that blogging led to this opportunity. Who knew that blogging about your girlie bits in your pajamas could lead to so many cool things?

IF YOU MISSED OUR INTERVIEW, CLICK HERE. THE PODCAST SHOULD BE AVAILABLE BY MORNING. It’s the session for Thursday, August 6th.

I love you all.

For reals.

I know people have been looking for my post about our conversations with The White House. Jonathan and I will be on the radio on Thursday discussing it and I had hoped to have our pieces up by now, but guess what?

Some things have happened that are about to blow my families to bits and pieces.

Please don’t ask what it is.

Please.

If you know anyone I am related to please do not pester them, ask them what is wrong. It’s not your place. I am using this blog for support, not to create some titilating piece of gossip. My family already has enough people calling them tattling about my blog, I could really do without this type of phone call or email, ok? If you’re extended family and you read me, just let the information come when and if it is ready.

If it ever is.

Please respect that.

I keep many things to myself without asking for comfort but this is too big for me.

I am only writing this much because I needed to explain where I am at.

I’d like to think I can do that without it causing further pain to people.

I hope I am not wrong.

We could use every prayer, word of support, comment, tweet, retweet, smoke signal or pigeon delivered message of comfort and cheer that anyone anywhere can give.

The weight of this is big and man…

It is ugly.

Unfathomable.

Horrible.

It’s something that could, and probably is, going to change everything forever.

I hate those posts where someone says “Something huge and horrible is happening BUT I CAN’T TALK ABOUT IT.”

Thing is?

It is totally true.

I cannot, cannot talk about it.

And I do not only can I NOT talk about it?

I don’t WANT to.

I don’t even want to think about it.

Sorry.

No, I don’t really sing like this. Pinky swear. (My husband totally whistles in harmony like this, though. For reals.)

All of my babies have their own special song I sing. They have all been very fitting. One heartbreakingly so.

I sang this song for Matthew. When he was 2 days old, every day of his 3.5 months on the earth and at his funeral.

Think of me every day
Hold tight to what I say
And I’ll be close to you, even from far away.
Know that wherever you are
It is never too far
If you think of me I’ll be with you.

This is Aaron’s song. It wasn’t planned to be, it just happened, like all the others did.

You are my sunshine
my only sunshine.
You make my happy
when skies are gray.
You’ll never know dear
How much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away.

The most fitting song on the earth for him.

And for me.

He IS my sunshine.

Even when things are HORRIBLE, I look at him and feel more joy than I deserve. I treasure him every second of every day.

He has saved his poor broken-hearted mama.

I love him so much.

Please let him stay.

Please.
