I wrote like a demon all the beggining of the month, then kerplunk. . . 28,000 words later and I got stuck. All the flow was diverted to a trickle and I lost interest, not completely but it weren't coming easy and I had to do something else . . . so . . . I sewed.

I made four rows on a quilt I am working on - and it's a big one so it takes a while. I made four necklaces and three bracelets while I watched disk five in my "Hart to Hart - the first Season".

Not unproductive just not writerly. HOWEVER: I have been working on a couple of proposals this week and cleaning up a couple of other works to get out - so back on track. And I am thinking of Nanowrimo come Novemeber - what to write - I like to prepare ahead!

update - five minutes later . . . I should have also mentioned - I have so been blog lazy - and I feel terrible about that. I really and truly thought it would be so much easier around here once the kiddoes were back in school - what was I thinking?!?!?!

Aside from the obvious with wheelchair boy - Mini-me has had no one to talk to and did you know a 4-y-o could talk for six straight hours and NOT run out of anything to say - thank goodness for the four hours a week that he has speech - which is the reason he talks so dang much

And let's not get me started about the fact that it was 117 degrees Friday (according to the van) when I went to sit in front of the school for 30 minutes to pick up the kids . . . yeah I know - poor Dennie! But the Dodge Sauna has helped to shed a few extra pounds in shear sweat . . . gotta find the silver lining in it all, right SJ!
