Whoops..

Hello. How's it going? I know, I know...I've been absent for awhile. I have no decent reason, other than being terribly lazy. Actually, my "real" job has started back up and my time for writing for myself has dwindled dramatically.

Let's see, what's new? How about some stats?
Number of rejections from literary magazines: 2
Number of rejections from agents/publishers: 2
Number of acceptance letters and requests for additional chapters: 1
Number of hours spent writing since the end of August: Less than 1
Number of nervous breakdowns since the end of August: 1
Number of temper tantrums since the end of August: too many to count

So. That catches us up pretty well. OOh! Wait! One more:
Number of children sent away to college and subsequently unable to contact her because of shooter on campus: 1

We did end up being able to contact our daughter, but not before me fleeing from work, my husband driving like his hair was on fire to try and get to the school, me picking up other two children from school so they wouldn't hear it from schoolmates, and other dramatic situations too numerous to mention. Thankfully, everyone is safe and sound and life has returned to normal. Or what we consider normal, anyhow.

To be perfectly honest, I have nothing much to say, but felt like I needed to get back to writing because all I've written is letters to student's parents lately. It's getting old. Fast. So, yeah. That's it.
Something slightly less than love,
Me

Busy, Busy, Busy

I haven't posted lately, because I've been working pretty much 24/7 (which is a saying I detest, by the way.) When I'm not working, I'm sleeping, working at home, or being with my family.

I need to get to the freakin' spa for Botox STAT. I can tell you that much. My forehead is beginning to show lines. Me no likee. I wouldn't mind a partial face lift, either, although a tummy tuck would be even better at this point. I wish I could buy botox and do it myself. I'd be injecting the hell out of everything.

Our daughter has been away at college for 3 weeks, now. So far, so good. She came home for Labor Day weekend, but on Sunday morning, she was ready to go back. This is a good thing, although it's tough letting them go.

I'm falling asleep as I type, so this is over. Nothing more to see, move along, people.
Man, I want peach pie.
