A Work In Progress

Sometimes I sit and stare at the screen in front of me trying to figure out if an alliteration I just wrote should stay or go. Nine times out of ten, it goes.
You just had to know that didn't you?
For the past week, I've done nothing but give into my procrastinating ways. I've played games, watched TV, cleaned, did laundry, and just stared off into space. The writing: minimal. Why? Because I felt like it. I know, I know, I should be writing but I have so much to do and so little time to do it all, I'm feeling overwhelmed and when that happens, the writing suffers. But today, I've been good. I've written a decent number of words and then wrote myself into a corner. I got out of it but it did stump me for over an hour.
The child seems to be adjusting to high school well. So far I haven't any reasons to complain though I haven't gotten the password to the website where I can check his grades and make sure he's doing his homework. I should ask him about it because he needs to stay on top of things if he wants to be an MP in the Army in four years.
Other than that, I haven't done a single thing because I want to be lazy. I think after while, I'm going to do a few crosswords before I dive back into the WIP. I haven't done a crossword puzzle in quite sometime. That sounds like fun. I think I'll do that while I listen to Lightning Strikes Twice by Nelson

Have a good evening!

So...

What do you know, another blog post. Surprised?
Today I haven't done much, except get up at SEVEN A.M. to enjoy the quiet that was my house until hubby got out of bed at eleven to get ready to leave for work at two. It was very nice. The first day of school is like Mother's day. Seriously. It's the only day that mom can really enjoy having the house to herself (for me it's only just for a few hours but hey, it works).
Of course, I haven't done much of anything except one load of laundry. WIP is still closed though just not feeling the words today. I did validate what I have written and again another NaNo won. Yay.
I have decided not to spend so much time on Facebook too. Too difficult for me to keep up with Twitter AND FB both. There are other reasons but I'm not going to go into them on any public forum.
I think the rest of the day, I'm going to get lost in some music by these artists Nelson, Rockapella, and Stevie Nicks. First song will be You're All I Need Tonight by Nelson.

And again....

I fell behind on blog posts again. Figures. Life has been crazy around here...between kids and a broken refrigerator (and had to call repair man today on the new one), and everything else, I haven't been writing as much as I would like. My novels have tanked (totally MY fault) and my TBR pile is steadily growing with books I've bought. There are quite a few more coming out that I have to get this week, next week and the week after. Plus my poor computer is having major issues and I'm just barely keeping it alive so I can write. (What's that they say? "If it's not one thing, it's another"?)
School starts the day after tomorrow (can you hear me singing Celebration from Kool and the Gang?). For the first time in YEARS, the school supply list and registration fees didn't break the bank!!!
 August CampNaNoWriMo will be a win but it took me longer with this story than any other story in the past to get to the 50,000 words. Hopefully in November, I'll do better. Maybe. I don't know what I'm going to write yet.
I really do though, need to get my head straight. I have a TERRIBLE case of cabin fever. Maybe this weekend I'll try to get out of the house away from other people and just sit and read or write. Who knows? I did get out of the house last weekened but only briefly. I got to see my cousins who I haven't seen in years. One cousin and I are only five years apart. When we were younger, the age gap was like a canyon. Today, the canyon is now like a teeny tiny crack because we're both OLDer and just slightly more mature.
Now I have to focus on getting the house ready and the spare room fixed up for a guest next month (SO EXCITED). I said SPARE ROOM!!! I have a spare room now! Isn't that exciting?? Amazing how much more room I have now with only one child left at home. LOL I'm sure all of you will remind me that I said this when the youngest one is out of the house in a few years and I'm whining about the empty nest. LOL I'm sure I'll find something to do with myself.
I'm ready for football season now thank you very much. School is starting and fall is coming so it's football time. Can't wait to pull out my favorite sweatshirts and eat junky sort of snack foods all day on Sundays. I don't think I'll be cooking much this season. LOL
Now I have to get back to the writing because I swore I'd have a decent amount of pages written before I head to bed tonight.
