Children: 2 points. Mom: 0 points.

My eldest is walking around stark naked with a blanket around his head, sheik-style. Nice. My daughter, in the meantime is debating whether gnawing on power cords or throwing random toys down the toilet would be her best bet. Writing with toddlers around is quite the challenge, I must say. It’s very much a case of:

Write one paragraph
Rescue a child
Write paragraph #2
Rescue the children from each other
Write paragraph #3
Debate whether or not putting the children to bed thirteen hours early would constitute child abuse
Write paragraph #4
Decide that technically, strawberry jelly could be considered a fruit when making PB&J’s for lunch.
Write paragraph #5
Rejoice after putting the kids down for their naps.
Fall down in exhaustion and get absolutely no writing done.

My total number of pages written yesterday was: 8
How’d you do?
