Jeepers creepers

So, Lauren took her first step on Monday. Which was fantastic and amazing and I sent text messages, twittered and updated on facebook. Clever girl, wonderful child.
And then I took her temp cause I thought she felt hot (she’d just woken up when she did it), to find she had a nasty temp, so off [...]

Sickness sucks

So, Ivy had a tummy bug over the weekend, which she has lovingly shared with us all, thankfully she’s the only one who has actually vomited, the rest of us are just suffering sore tummies, sore heads, throats, ears and eyes. Lauren has a cold too, so she has a runny nose to go with [...]

Swings and roundabouts

Last week I was still in the throes of the novel, I was on a roll, pounding out the words, making good progress.
This week, not so much.
As with everything in my life, my writing has taken on a cyclical nature. I go from being productive, to fairly un-productive, and then back again – more so [...]

Ug

I don’t like my haircut lol, was bound to happen right? It feels a lot better than it did before, now that the damaged hair is done, but I’m looking forward to it growing out and hope that as it does, the style will develop into something I actually like. It’ll do in the meantime! [...]

Solo parenting for two days.

And getting nothing done!!! It’s okay though, it’ll really hit home tonight when I can’t hand Lauren over to Hubby for awhile so that I can get writing done. It’s okay, it’s just until tomorrow night, and then we can get back to normal and I can get back to working on TCM.
I miss writing [...]

where does the time go?

Slipping away, so quickly…. I didn’t manage to do a lot of fresh writing yesterday, but I did go back and fill in some things I felt were missing out. Chibi highlighted for me what the issue might have been and I think she’s right. I still have to finish that before I move on [...]

For all my good intentions

I can’t dictate the needs of my baby lol. So it is with absolutely no guilt or annoyance that I got no writing done yesterday! Oh it feels great not to feel bad about it.
Sure I care, it would have loved to get something down, but the fact that I didn’t doesn’t impact on me [...]

Ha!

It wasn’t until just now when I opened Ayden that I realized I didn’t write yesterday. It completely slipped my mind – guess I’m not quite back in the habit just yet
As a result though, I think I’m going to try and push through to 1k today and see how I do. Of [...]

You can put a child to bed…

but you can’t make it sleep.
Strangely enough, I am not talking about the baby! Little Miss is adamant that she needs to pee 3-4 times after she’s been put to bed, and as she has been taking herself to the toilet during the night for over 6 months now we can’t take back her right [...]

Of course…

Being that I’m not writing today, the first thing I thought about this morning upon waking (other than my headache and generally ‘arrrggg is it really that time already?’ thoughts) was about opening my document and getting to work.
I mean, I haven’t even been writing in the mornings lately so this thought in particular is [...]
