Boy, life does get crazy busy sometimes, doesn't it? Looks like you'll have to invite your character along for the ride.
Sorry about the ticket!
Silly me, I assumed she got a ticket for speeding. LOL
Whoa. Talk about a reality check! Truthfully, I've been jealous all week--wishing I was a novelist (like you four are). Envious because your lives as writers HAD TO BE more glamorous, glitzy, and interesting than my life as a dumb ol' teacher...! LOL! Kristin, your life sounds more hectic (and mundane) than mine. Oh, well, another dream/illusion shattered. Guess I'll go fold some laundry and then grade some papers. :<
P.S. Sorry you got the ticket.
I hear you, Girlfriend. Yes, even here in the "quiet" state of Kansas, my life is every bit as hectic and overwhelming. I know what you mean about the daily-ness of the routine--homework, dinner, laundry, errands, driving, and on and on it goes. I have 3 kids, ages 4--9 and I can sure identify! I love reading your books and I find it refreshing that you are a busy mom just like me. Hang in there!
I think your character just ran by my window with the coffee you didn't get to drink ... yep ... she just tossed the Starbucks cup into the garbage and she's still on the go ... heading in your direction though... I'm sure she'll be there soon!
God bless you, sister. I didn't know you were a mom. Nevermind a mom of FOUR! You look way too together and cool for that:) (feel better?)Writing with kids- that's hard. I'm doin' it here in CT. I've been typing away on my story when I'm supposed to be putting together my seven-year-old's bat costume...
Awww, man, I'm sure the diva is alive and well somewhere! She'll flutter into that brain in perfect timing. Hmmm, would that be HIS timing?
Know--the sock thing? This too shall pass.
I thought you got a speeding ticket, too! lol
You need to update your book cover on the side to Poppy's book.
So if you need any help I'll be happy to read your book and give you ideas to spice it up :-D except probably for the whole give you ideas part. Read your book, most def.
You can do it!
No pressure, but there are thousands of people out here who are dying to read Split Ends!
Feel better? ROFL
Praying that everything just pops together for you!
Hey Kris, I think your character came to visit mine. But hey, mine came back last night, so maybe she sent your character back to you! LOL
Sorry about the ticket. Hey, if you wanna know how to avoid getting it on your record, holler at me. I know a "trick". SHHH. LOL
So hilarious...life back in the big city...what can I say? Comes with the territory.
Your character is probably busy with her own life, maybe she'll send you a text message from her Blackberry when she finds a moment! :-)
I think your character grabbed mine and they both ran off to Hawaii or something- and it think they took my english paper (that's due monday) with them. i guess ill just pray for their safe returns, as wll as that of my english paper :(
Kristin,
Man, I'm sorry about the ticket. Don't you just hate it when police officers don't understand about being a mom and driving at the same time?
I was driving home one night about 7-8 years ago with daughter number two and we were having an annimated disagreement. Pretty soon there was a siren and lights so I pulled into the nearest well-lit strip mall and rolled down my window, license in hand.
He wanted to know how much I'd been drinking.
As I indignatly told him, "not a drop!" my 17year old was nearly rolling on the floor. He explained I'd been weaving a bit and I explained about trying to explain things to a 17 year old.
Thankfully he shook is head and let me off with a warning. Bet that's probably the main reason my daughter insisted on driving when we went to Ireland last year!
So, think of it like a kidney stone--this too shall pass. Hang in there!
Abundant blessings,
Jenny
Kristin sorry to hear about the ticket. I hope things get better.
If your character and Michelle's turn up here I'll let you know. Maybe they're partying in preparation for homecoming this weekend with my characters. They showed up for awhile last night but refused to come out this morning. They claim they need to focus on the game.
One of them already got hurt in the last game so I don't know what his problem is. Pouting over not getting the girl again, I suspect. Football players are a strange breed. :)
LOL! I remember my kids fighting over breathing. Sigh.
I think I saw your character. She took off cause she knew you couldn't come after her for a while. And she's on a shopping spree. I'll tell her she'd better bring back some Starbucks and a great pair of shoes....and a handbag of course. :D
Oh how I can relate. I'm a mom of six (and they are home with me all day) and sometimes I just want to THINK even if only for one whole minute without chaos. When I'm really desperate, I go take a looooong shower. I may look like a wrinkled raison when I'm done, but I could think uninterrupted. :)
Sorry about the ticket. I just realized my license expires on Sunday (my birthday) and I forgot to get it renewed. I'll be the one driving real careful to the DMV on Monday.
I have to admit, you have it far worse than I do. I'll be thinking about how much worse it can be when I'm stuck in my DMV.
What I don't get is this: we live in a small town - WHERE do all these people come from to make what should be a 10 minute errand into two hours? I don't get it.
