It's best not to do the math. How long has it been since I've written anything other than a quick email here or there? So very long. At some point, the words just weren't there anymore; they sprouted wings and flew away. That was kind of scary, because writing has always been something that I did without question, without any external prompt. I ( Read more... )

Hi, internets. It's 10 minutes to midnight so of course I'm just sitting down to do this little daily writing thing. I don't actually leave time nor attention to write well... so it's just hash. Whatever's in the pantry! Throw it in the pan ( Read more... )

It's so difficult to write coherently when I'm falling asleep. Really, I need to put errands off for a half-hour or so in the mornings so I can try writing while fully awake. Although, then I run the risk of getting swallowed by the internet and not coming up for air until the kids are out of school. And we all know that running errands with ( Read more... )

It's NaBloPoMo time again, and since I have trouble updating even once a week, it makes sense for me to post every day. Yay, logic ( Read more... )

For the past few weeks, Khai has fallen into the role of the defiant, resistant three-year-old. While I know he's just trying to test his boundaries and see how much he can get away with, it's still frustrating. He's gotten good at looking at me, no fear to be seen, and saying NO. I could be asking him to do something he loves, and he'll say no ( Read more... )

Perhaps it's a sign of old age, or better, a sign of my extreme awesomeness: I hurt my back this morning by taking my socks off. It's still locked up in an angry little spasm. But! I made some of the best mashed potatoes ever! I got some cute photos at the school Thanksgiving Feast-- I love that some of the kids are just as happy to rub their ( Read more... )

All day, I've had intentions of writing twice today in order to make up for yesterday's poor excuse for a post. Funny thing, though, life keeps me busy ( Read more... )

I almost forgot! Oh hey, yeah, I'm supposed to write something every day this month. Which means before midnight. Within the next two mintues.

Today was better than yesterday-- I played dogpile with Max & Khai, we made popcorn for snack AND I got to cuddle with Josh. That's a good day.

You'd better hope it's an eventful month. In an attempt to make myself write more (because I like writing and I often forget that), I'm participating in NaBloPoMo. That means I'll be making a post every day for the month of November ( Read more... )

Thank you, Jess, for this morning's coffee, books and conversation. I wrote a poem today for the first time in nearly a year! Sad, but true ( Read more... )
