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!

Hey seven pages is a GREAT writing day! And I’ll trade you your ants for our wolf spiders …

Seven pages would make me really happy! Congrats!
I’ve had the ant problem too (in our old house.) You might try putting black pepper down where you think they’re getting in. It wasn’t as good as some Raid, but it did keep my kids from getting poisoned.
Michelle Says:
Amy–ooh, good suggestion! I hate the thought of my daughter (who exists on the level of the baseboards) chewing on them or anything (the baseboards, I mean, not the ants).
Vicki Says:
Oh, I hate ants! They must die!!!!
Suzanne Says:
Wow, you have added to your smilies collection! I think this one
could take care of the ant problem!
Larissa Says:
Yay for 7 pages!!!!! And ooh, I love the smilies!

I SO want to have the week off! So not fair. But…I do NOT want your ants.
WTG on the 7 pages!:wave:
