I’m trying to do my week in review, and what have I got? Love and TV shows?
Pfft.
Instead, I’m going to do something completely different.
I’d like to recreate for you the past 24 hours in my life:
midnight, Feb 13th. For the 8th straight hour, I’m fitzing with my website, trying to get it to work because on the 14th, I’ve volunteered to have a free ebook to read on my site. And I thought it’d be nice to update the site and make it pretty beforehand. After three weeks, I thought, hey! I know! I’ll host the front page with blogger. I got the page set up and blogger told me: No, b*tch. Yeah. I have to use the OLD blogger for that to work. Ok. Nevermind.
1 a.m. I’ve got the page back to ‘before blogger’.
1:10: youngest son wakes up. “Moooooooooooooooom.”
2:30 He goes back to sleep. His fist might have been up my nose.
3:30 I go back to sleep.
8:00 a.m. superhubby has gotten the oldest two to school and coffee on. (lurve him)
Day passes in a blur of trying to write, but instead having a melodramatic two year old gasp and swoon in my lap in absolute fits of neglect.
10pm. gust of energy. (may’ve been brought on by sugar. I’m not sayin’)
1 a.m. husband gives up on waiting up
3 a.m. post final wordcount for the night
430 am. I fall asleep during what could possibly be the worst TV movie ever.
8 a.m. “bye kid” as he leaves for school
haze of a day answering email, writing for thirty seconds before the kids catch on and try to kill each other.
5 pm. ten minutes. Ten uninterrupted minutes.
510: I’m hungwy
630. writing. tv blaring. kids play wrestling. eyes at halfmast. sleepy. oh. So. Sleepy.
8pm kids in bed. sleepy. so sleepy.
9 pm. CSI
10 pm. Lword
11 pm. WIDE FREAKING AWAKE
Welcome to a writer’s life.

After your hint at RD, I had to come and read this… Too funny! Poor dear.. Would a hot tub full of men instead of kids help? *looks innocent*

Quit trying to look innocent, Diana. You’re from Texas. We know how you are.
You forgot to add *talked to my annoying friend from California three or four times because she’s my stalker*
LOL.
Ah writing. Ain’t it grand.

Jen, are you stalking ppl again?? I swear, y’all no controlling that girl.
Dayna I can certainly relate to being wide freaking awake late at night!
February 16th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
That sounds like absolute insanity. Fortunately my schedule is nothing like that
I cannot stay up past midnight now, because I’m up a little after 6. I usually write between 9-12am. though.

You guys are nuts. This is one of the few times I’ll say it: THANK GOD I’M SINGLE.
February 17th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Dayna…you are a hoot!!! I am truly laughing out loud. I feel you though on the hubby giving up on staying awake. LOL My hubby does that to me all the time.
