Daily Pages

Wordpress just ate my last blog entry. How annoying.

Anyway, now that I’m on break, it’s time to double my daily page output. Normally I write about 2-3 pages a night when I’m working full time. That’s mainly because I have about 60 minutes of writing time after I get the babies to bed. I have to get to bed at a reasonable hour because of the ChildWhoDoesNotSleep(tm) in order to handle being woken up at 4:00 a.m. every morning. So 3 pages is good for me.

On breaks, I usually change things up by setting a timeframe instead of a page quota. I’ll write for 2 hours in the morning, give or take, and whatever I accomplish is great. Today I managed 7 pages. Works for me.

I went downstairs, feeling pretty chipper, only to discover ants crawling on my kitchen floor. With two small children, it’s kind of a given that you have food on the floor, even after you sweep up after every meal. You’re bound to miss something.

I busted a cap in their little tushies and mopped the kitchen floor. I had visions of pulling a Terminator and spraying hazardous kitchen chemicals everywhere. Or maybe setting the floor on fire. That would teach them. There will be NO BUGS IN MY HOUSE!
