Last week I fought a stupid headache the whole week. My kids have been a little stuffy and such so my assumption is that it is too flippin' dry in the house. So I put a big pot of water on the stove, let it simmer all day with cinnamon, ground cloves, some orange generic kool aid mix, lemonade or lemon juice, and that helped get moisture in the air ( Read more... )

Yeah, teenagers. *rolls eyes* You would think that three kids, ages 17, 15, and 14, could at least fix their own food maybe. Right? Yeah, you would think that now wouldn't you? And in my house you'd be wrong. So I'm behind. And I've gotta get up in the morning, or later on this morning, to get the boys up to go hunting. Oh no. Oh man, if they ( Read more... )

Okay, so it is 10:00 AM and I am officially freaking out. Yeah, I should have been freaking out at least a week ago but no, I wait to have my official freaking out moment this morning when I realize I have to write at least 2,000 words an hour to win. Yeah, 2,000 words at least and write them every hour in order to get a win for NaNoWriMo. *sigh ( Read more... )

Why is it that my family does not want to leave me alone in November? I keep saying 'hush, leave me alone' and still they speak ( Read more... )

Word count sucks. Kids and husband will be off from Wednesday through Sunday. Not at all certain why the family has no idea how to fend for themselves when they're 13 and older ( Read more... )

Things just are not working out well at all for me this month. A few hundred words here and there is about all I've been getting in the last week which is definitely not a good thing. Kids have been sick as well as needing to go all over creation. Hubby hasn't been supportive or helpful at all plus away for work which means I'm home with the ( Read more... )

See, I start out with high hopes that my kids will be ever so helpful and cooperative and positive during NaNoWriMo but no such luck. Teenagers should be able to feed themselves and do their own laundry right? Wrong. Not mine. Fussing and grumbling and that does not bode well for me as I try to write. Nor does it help when they need to go to ( Read more... )

Writing by hand right now since I'm writing inside because it is really cold outside. Actually the first words I've written in a few days. We received horrible news last Friday and still trying to recover. ~sigh~ I will be writing as much as I can today because I have no idea how much I can write tomorrow ( Read more... )

So. *sigh* This year life sucks. Literally. And the only way to help? Remove my family for the rest of the month. Yeah, it has just been freakin' spectacular here. And top it all off? I get fantastically unsupportive hubby home all day Thursday, part of Friday or all day if he decides to take off work, Saturday and Sunday of course, and ( Read more... )

Okay, so I haven't been keeping up with daily counts because well, some days if you only get 12 words you don't want to throw it out there into the universe. So I did a big ol' word count for the month and I am at a whopping 6493. Yeah. Fantastic huh? *sigh* Then I did some figuring and if I write 4850 words a day I can achieve my goal of 50, ( Read more... )
