Rainy Days and Wednesdays

Today is another day of Tutoring the Minions after school. I hateitIhateitIhateitIhateit… They have exam week next week and so that’s what I’ll be reviewing. Still, an hour and twenty minutes is TOO LONG. We’re all ready to shoot ourselves after that point. Plus, I have the behavior problem children to deal with (I did tell you about the boy who threw staples at the other kids and when caught yelled, “You’re all a bunch of dumb-*ss liars!”, didn’t I?). Yes, that will be my afternoon. I am looking forward to this about as much as a root canal.

It was fun listening to everyone’s favorite tv shows. I’m having to discipline myself with my writing on the days of good tv. I use my kitchen timer and try to make sure I get at least an hour of writing done. I tried for more, but my children keep crawling into my lap. It’s just not that easy with toddlers.

Speaking of which, my daughter is continuing her skills in stripping. Yesterday in Circle Time, she stood up and dropped her pants in front of the class. She had to go to the bathroom and thought she’d notify the teachers. Lovely. So subtle.

I made a major change to one of my proposals yesterday and it was the necessary element to draw it all together. I love it when that happens. It’s nice to be excited about a story again, and this really did the trick.

Last, a friend of mine recommended a website called Wordsmith. It e-mails you a daily vocabulary word, which is great for my New Year’s Resolution.

Okay, I have to head off to work, but please pray that I don’t go off the deep end this afternoon. Hopefully only the nice, sweet students will show up.
