Write Much?

Yeah, not lately. Life has been... well, busy. However, I haven't been into the blogging here all that much and there isn't a good reason why. I blog a lot more frequently at my other site, though. I have been seriously considering just bagging this one but somehow, can't quite make myself do it.

I just need to commit. Make a point to blog here at least a few times a week. It's not that hard. I'm just lazy about it.

So, there have been some interesting developments around these here parts... haha ok, not really. I just like saying that.

Lemme back up some...

Yesterday was my fifth anniversary of marriage to The Man. We had a lovely day. He took the day off of work and we spent it together being romantic. We held hands and everything. We went to some of our favorite places and had a good time. I can't believe it's been five years... it seems like it went so fast! I wonder what's in store for us in the next five years? I can't wait to see :)

We did the whole Halloween Trick-or-Treat thing on... you guessed it, Halloween. The children had a ball. They dressed up as mad scientists, and had a wonderful time. Here's a few pictures. Observe:

*evil scientists bent on taking over the world*

*the suspected ring leader. see her slick dance moves*

*the second in command. someone needs to get in command of that hair*

*the boy power of the gang. his finger has more brains in it than most people... have, um, brains in their... um... heads.... yeah. that.*

*we don't know much about her other than she is really cute and likes parrots*

And here's one more for you... the truly frightening one....

Yup. That would be my Extreme Teen in the flesh... and um, in his makeup! I did the makeup for him, actually. He went as Violent J from ICP. Google it, yo.

So... moving on. Right-O.

I am participating in NaNoWriMo this year... although I have yet to actually make a DENT in my writing. Thus far, most attempts at it have been aborted. Lemme gimme you a run down...

On November the first, it was a Saturday. One of the BUSIEST days that I have had in a long time. I was so crazy busy, it was... crazy. I was barely home all day. And I knew that Sunday was not going to be any better. Sunday was just as bad.

No biggie, I thought, that's why I send yonder childrens to school so I can have some alone time. Well, that and the whole education thing... but whose keeping track, right?

Anyway, I figured I would have PUH-LENTY of time to get busy on the whole writing thing come Monday. So I didn't sweat it.

Yeah. You know what they say about the best laid plans, right?

My youngest, "Delta", got sick. With the flu. And when she gets sick, she gets really clingy. Follows me around, wants me to sit with her, that kind of thing. She's been like that since her baby days. Which is FINE, of course... it just makes getting anything done pretty much impossible. Good thing I had already gone grocery shopping, otherwise we'd have been eating nothing but dry cereal and tap water. Not so good. But since I'd done the majority of the shopping, we didn't have to resort to such depths.

Alright, my point is (and yeah, I do have one, believe me, I'm getting to it, just hang in there, I may ramble but eventually I get to the heart of the matter, just have to be patient, I'm almost there *wink*) is that I didn't get any writing done Monday.

She was home still on Tuesday, and was worse off than she had been on Monday. So you can probably gather that I didn't get any writing done on Tuesday, either.

She was home on Wednesday. Yada yada.

And Thursday.

Friday she went back. But Friday also marked the fifth year of marital bliss, and the day was pretty much, you know, used up.

Today is Saturday. I have managed to get SOME writing done, but not a whole lot, and nowhere near where I should be. It's kinda hard to write when everyone is home... so I'm wait for Monday... again. We'll see how it goes. Whatev, I'm woefully behind, but hey... that's life!

Alright, well, that's all for now. I shall be back! When is anyone's guess!
