Schedules

This was the first week out of school for my kiddo. We had one eye appointment. One rescheduled hair cut appointment (see results from previous blog). One visit to the zoo. One visit to the aquarium. One visit to the library to sign up for the summer reading program. One friend over to swim and who ultimately spent the night. R's friend is one of the 'quiet' ones, so I actually like having her around. When some of R's other friends hang out, the noise tends to escalate. . . and escalate or the bickering starts. Grrr! Anyhoo, this kid is pretty good to have around. She's one of the middle of five children, so she likes being only one of two kids, I think.

Needless to say, I'm not getting very much rewriting done on my story. I've reworked (changed from mom's POV to child's POV and added emotion) only eleven pages of MOGG. Uh, only 123 more to go! I really would like to get a little farther along than this. But it is what it is and THAT is summer vacation. *sigh* I'll get there. Next week should be a little more organized. I think it is the newness of no school that has the kiddo all freaky-deaky.

Today is another complete write off for the writing stuff. I might get to sit down, but I don't anticipate getting much done. When we take R's friend home I'll be picking up my BIL and his two kiddos from the tire store. They're all coming over to swim. Maybe I can get some gardening done while the play in the frigid pool. No, the new electronic board didn't fix the heater.

I may not be writing, but I HAVE been reading. I finished Smoke in Mirrors by Jayne Ann Krentz, Last Vampire Standing by Nancy Haddock, and middle grade book The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan.

Maybe this afternoon I can,

Write on!
