A Pain In My...

Back. Recently, I've done something to my back causing my hip to slip out of place and pinch my sciatic nerve. I went to the chiropractor yesterday and it was feeling better, but this morning it had slipped back out. The pain is running all the way down my leg. It hurts to sit, stand, lay and walk. I will be going back to the chiropractor again tomorrow.

The good news is I've been able to work on book two today, something I haven't been able to accomplish all week. Hopefully, if all goes well, I will have chapter two done by tonight. Slow progress I know, but with Honey wanting to be held all the time I'm just happy to get anything done.

Friday Funny

I would like to say I enjoy taking a picture now and again. I have been taking pictures for several years, but by no stretch of the imagination do I think I'm a professional photographer. I'm an a decent amateur. This weeks Friday Funny was found by my brother Jordan. After seeing several of these pictures I'm starting to think I'm might be a little above decent. WOW! Just because you have a camera doesn't mean you should call yourself a professional photographer.

Have a great weekend!

Off To A Good Start

I am feeling pretty positive that I am off to a good start. I have finished the prologue and chapter one. I am now moving on. It always surprises me how easy it is to get lost in a book I'm writing and forget to do important things like laundry and making dinner. I will have to work on that in the future, but right now I am sitting in a messy house with piles of laundry to fold and I'm thinking it will all have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow is always a good cleaning day for me.

Sale of book one are still doing pretty good. I do want to remind you that you only have a week left to enter the contest. I have only had a handful of people enter, but it's not too late. Go out and read my book then leave me a review. It's that easy. If you can't remember the rules on how to enter the contest go back in my blog and read them.

It's Finally Here

I am so excited. My kids go to school tomorrow and I get to start on book two. I made it through the summer and what a summer it's been. Published my first book, got our first foster placement, and didn't lose my mind. The kids are ready although they like to pretend they don't want to go back. I am ready and will miss them, but I know they need interaction and structure.

Tomorrow I will be going over the prologue to make sure I still like it and then hopefully get chapter one done. Doesn't seem like a lot, but it will probably take me at least four hours to get it just right and then I will end up changing it later on I'm sure. I will have to work fast though because my goal is to have book two out by Christmas. Here's to hoping!

I Don't Usually

I know I don't usually post things on the weekends, but I told my mother-in-law that I would post this for her. If you have ever seen Toddlers and Tiaras you should watch this for sure. If you haven't you will still get a kick out of it.

Friday Funny

This week flew by, but I did get half of what I needed to done. That is truly a successful week for me. I only have a few more days until I get to start writing again. So many idea's running through my head I can barely keep up.
This is my plan for the weekend. Celebrate my daughter's birthday, finish list from last week minus the carpet shampooing (seriously people I don't know what I was thinking. I need to wait until the kids are back in school before taking on such a horrendous chore.) Monday: take the kids to school to find their classrooms and then Tuesday take the kids to school and start book two! I can hardly contain myself.

This weeks Friday Funny is compliments of Jana, Jake's wife. Thanks so much for sharing this site! Have a great weekend.

Pulling It Together

  This is the week people. This is the week I start pulling things together to send my kids back to school and get back on a writing schedule. Although we struggled the first few weeks of summer it has turned out to be wonderful.
  Our family has enjoyed going to the zoo, swimming at the local pool, shopping at the DI (our local thrift store where my husband loves finding the little treasures people donate) and then of course we got Honey, who we all adore.
  These last few weeks have just flown by.I will miss the relaxed mornings we have enjoyed this summer especially seeing as Honey keeps me up most of the night, but even with that I am ready to get back on a more structured schedule.
  So my plans for the rest of this week will be clean and organize so nothing can stand in the way of my writing.I have a mountain of laundry to wash and fold. Clothes to go through because my kids can't seem to stop growing and carpets to shampoo because they look disgusting and I can't take it any longer.
  I have exactly one week starting tomorrow to get it done and then folks I plan to disappear into book two only to resurface when Honey needs to be changed and fed...and held and loved. That should leave me about two or three hours during the day while she is sleeping that I will be able to write. Wish me luck!
