musingaloudWriterly duties are taking a backseat to Thanksgiving. Last night I spit out 127 stultifying words on a story that has no plot, just to say I wrote for the day. *shrug* oh well. I wish I had a month or so with nothing to do but write. Wouldn't that be fun? Or would I waste it all as usual? I do usually have 2 hours a day when I'm babysitting, but instead of spending it writing, I usually spend it here or elsewhere online. I'm horrible.
Now, on to Thanksgiving. This is the time of year I stress myself out trying to get the house spicNspan, the windows washed, the cabinets lemon-oiled--all that stuff. This year I promised to start early, at the beginning of the month. But I didn't. No big surprise there, I'm the world's best procrastinator (that's something I never get a rejection for!). And then we went to Disneyland and I thought I still had 2 weeks left when we got home, but WRONG!!!!! there was only 1 week. So I said what the hell. No one but me notices if the house is all shiny anyway. So I gave myself til Christmas for the lemon-oiling. But it's half done already, so technically I'm ahead of myself, right?
And I feel pretty stress free this year for some reason. We'll be 14 or so here at the house, and it's old hat by now, I've done it so much, so no biggy. And then oldest son's birthday on Sunday. And then the CHRISTMAS rush! Whew! Are you tired already?
