Forget me nots

Shameful, positively shameful how I’ve neglected my blog.  The odd/painful transition period is over from being separated from my husband by over 6,000 miles.  Now our son and I are in a nice routine and with spring officially here, I feel energized and renewed. 

I’ve been keeping busy through housework.  Ever scrubbed a tile floor on your hands and knees with shorts on?  If not, go do it!  Funnest thing I’ve done in a long time, sliding like crazy over that wet floor.  Neighbors probably think I’m quite batty…well, more daft than they already think, for all the giggling coming from my little corner in this building.  But, hey, got a squeaky clean floor and some exercise for my troubles, so no complaints there. 

I’m well on my way to writing chapter 3 of another ms.  It’s not like the other one I’m working on that makes me giggle at my vampire’s antics and which has the funniest lines I have ever read or written. Sometimes it’s as though it’s not coming from me at all but he’s sitting at my coffee table, flicking ashes on my newly vaccuumed floor and tapping at the keys. 

I’d intended on this current ms to be submitted for the Nocturn Bites Editor Pitch challenge on eHarlequin.com but schyeah, so not going to happen.  Writing schedule has been burnt by the long ashes of my phantom vampires fag and the fact my little guy is just well an insomniac lately. 

Second day I said I’d make meatloaf…maybe tomorrow. XD

Reading and Water

Ah the blessings of water. Been drinking nothing but for the past few days and got rid of all the junk food in our house. Stepped on the scale this morning and had lost 3 pounds. Weird! But cool. xD

I can’t stop reading! I have gone through my stack of books I bought in a mad moment at Walmart. Yes, Walmart. ha! Why there you ask? Because the book prices are bananas. 3 Harlequin presents book for 10 bucks? Yes please! So my stack has dwindled until almost nothing. *sigh* Guess I’ll have to go to the library. Their selection is…questionable. lol!

I’ve got a headache from hell and not quite sure why I’m blogging this. It’s boring. haha.

Off to drink more water and make some southwestern scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. Yum!

Introductions

I suppose I should introduce myself and relay what my blog is all about.  It’s about me, me, me!  hahaha!  Seriously though I’m a writer of romance, paranormal and young adult.  With aspirations of writing a few childrens books thrown in the mix.  I just turned 28, my sexy husband, Rich, just deployed to Afghanistan and we have a 3 year old toddler, Logan, who is more than a funny little handful. 

This is my place to vent about life, work and the occassional morning where I’m woken up at the buttcrack of dawn.  Litterally.  XD

Early morning

Ever woke up at 4:54 in the morning by your toddler?

Then expected to get up, make coffee and breakfast and not fall flat on your face as feelings of exhaustive drunkeness surround your foggy brain? 

Yep, that’s my morning in a nutshell.  Although after that cup of strong coffee, the world starts to look less gloomy and with said toddler laying on the couch under a mound of blankets and wattching Casper, the brain starts to wake up and say, ‘Hey! Let’s be productive today’. 

Much as I want to tell my brain shut up and go back to sleep, those days of sleeping in are over for 11 1/2 more months.  When Rich, my husband, gets back home from Afghanistan, then the wonderful days of bargaining not with sex, but with days to sleep in, will be a blessing.  Ha!

Here’s to joining that little angel on the couch and snuggling up to a little body.  And maybe getting whacked in the head or stomach by a flying elbow.
