Thursday Thrills

I think I might have to start easing out of my comfort zone to finish my WIP this year. Today, for the second day this week, I was roped into substituting again. So pretty much the whole day of potential writing was shot. This has the potential to happen every Tues/Thurs...unless I somehow unvolunteer myself. That would not be good (the loss of writing time, that is). But for now, I guess, I'm okay with it. These kids are so sweet and I'm just trying to help ease their transition into Mother's Day Out. So I'm going to see how it goes. If I have to back out and have her put my name on the bottom of the list instead of the top, then I will. She's admitted to calling me first.

Until then, I think I may have to start writing at night. I stay up later than my husband already, and I figure I could work in a couple of good hours every night (or several nights a week) before I go to bed. I've done this before--I just didn't have a regimen. Now I think I need a regimen. I was all hyped up about making time for writing, but so far, it's not working out as I expected. This week I lost two days to substituting and one day to a Girls Day Out. I'm down to Friday--one measly day. And I'm definitely not finishing this book on one measly day a week. So starting tonight, I'm going to be a night owl. We shall see.


Sidenotes: My little friend of the vagina revelation today told me that her daddy has a freckle on his 'bootie'. I think these parents of hers need to be introduced to the concept of TOO MUCH INFORMATION.


Oh, and my kindergartener's homework was to choose a type of tree to represent our family and then decorate it and label it with each of our names. Here's what he came up with...
