Mom Excitement aka Mom Wins lol

It's been a week now, so I feel I can safely announce that I have shaved two hours off my baby's awake time at night. Instead of going to bed at 3 am to 5 am, he is now in bed between 1 am and 2 am. Hey, don't laugh. Major difference in sleep time for me :D And he's not getting up any earlier. Can we say SCORE??

That means I get more sleep and more writing time :) HALLELUJAH

I've already gotten a few hundred words in, despite the hour and half it took to load my new internet card. 2 hours total between shutting down and loading. At least I'm on the internet from home now. I know my hubby's relieved, lol.

It means more time for me to do housework as well and not worrying about who is going to watch my laptop when I go to the bathroom.

Now, I have to do taxes :(((((((

I hate doing taxes...

Script Frenzy day 14

I still haven't done my taxes GRR If I don't get my card today, I will have to do them tomorrow in a public place then go home and print them, then out to the post office!! What a pain in the -- er, ask your mother what it is... (line from play that openend last night!)

Working on so many things at once that I am driving hubby crazy. He wants me to get X done, but I want X done and we are both right, LOL I need to write like 10 hours a day is all! Maybe starting Thursday, I can manage for three days in a row to do this.

**Sigh** Maybe in between doing housework and taking hubby to work (at least he's working one day this week!) and taking care of 18 month old with Down Syndrome and **sigh** yeah, now we all know why ten hour days isn't feasible.

I'm working up to four! but that includes, research, networking and blogs so... Will end up at six eventually. Have to.

For script frenzy, I need to make up 35 pages or something unreal. I will do that, I swear. I am going to win it if I have to give up sleep all weekend. :D

I'm using it to help my novel that is the same basic story so I'm going back and forth, but both the script and the novel are better for the experience! It just takes time, is all. ALL??? Like I have a whole lot of that! :D

I'm really enjoying the query workshop and learning a lot! It was money well spent and I will use the lessons and explanations from everyone's work to help me with all future queries. I've sent my second draft off, so should hear back soon on the improvement (cross fingers) and the new problems I added by making the changes. LOL

Everyone have a good day and try to find what makes you happy.

BOOK SIGNING!

YEAH YEAH YEAH

Another book signing :) This time we are back in the good old US of A (just kidding as last one was in TX) in Yakima WA at the local Borders.

May 8th, the Saturday befor mother's day. I will be convincing them to try a unique gift LOL.

I am working on getting contact info for the Tri-cities Barnes and Nobles since there isn't a Borders there. That keeps it even anyways, since it was at Barnes and Nobles in San Antonio LOL

Stay tuned!

script frenzy

So script frenzy is not going as well as NaNoWriMO did, but I have faith I will finish! I only have 7 pages (2 more than the first day!) but I have found my niche and will be able to go quickly when my workshop is over.

I'm taking a query workshop, which has been interesting since I lost my internet card.
But I'm managing. I will catch up quickly on script frenzy next week. I did those 2 pages in like 15 minutes. At that rate it will only take me 12 hours to finish LOL. One long writing day ought to do it :)

I have been working hard and writing my but off in mornings and still trying to pay attention to baby and rest of fam. It seems to be working, although I'm way too stressed and need to find a way to calm down.

Oh, guess what? Nate bought me the 2010 Writer's Market! I'm so excited. It's a major step for him in ackowleding my career choice and in showing support.

Well, back to writing and reading my internet stuff, and most important for today, getting my on-line homework finished!

OMG LOL

Okay, I have to admit, some of the text lingo has come in handy. I have had an ... I was going to say aweful couple of weeks, but it seems to be the norm for us! The internet card has been taken/lost. Long story behind that. The SSI thing that was supposed to be fixed, is not. And I have been unable to write! I finally found time to write yesterday, but I left my glasses at the theatre and trying to focus on the words literally put me to sleep.

I'm currently taking a query workshop, which is going okay. It's on the yahoo groups. One minor problem: my phone refuses to recognise my yahoo id/password combo so I can't follow up with my phone and I have no internet. Funny thing is, my yahoo popped up so fast that my eyes crossed when using the same d*** password/id combo that I used all day yesterday!!! GRRRRRRR

Well, hubby home today, so I'm writing for awhile until he gets back to building waves for our set.

help!

So I spent my morning looking for shoes for son and I cuz it was snowing here. Then went to doctors. Son has ear infection both ears and bronchitis. So we're waiting for his meds (hour to hour and half) and I went to take him to lunch and found out that the SSI was not on the direct deposit card.

After forever on the phone, I find out that after the last forever on the phone, the person I talked to did not update my addy and so they suspended my benny's because of two different state addys. GRRRRRRR The biggest problem is that if they don't give Isaac at least $1 then he doesn't get his medical coupon either!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Down Syndrome kid with no medical now. Can we say ********** insert favorite cuss word(s) here.

It's frustrating dealing with all of this. I'm grateful for the help with medical and money so I can take care of him, but WTF what's the point of updating your file if they don't update it?????? RANT RANT RANT lol

Okay after we are able to get Patrick's meds, I'll be spending my afternoon at SSI office. Wish me luck, please. I will need it!!!!!!
