Vacation

You know, I think it takes a sick person to be on vacation and be absolutely thrilled at the idea of sitting in front of a computer and writing. Clearly, I am deranged.

That said, I wrote 11 pages today! See, if I were writing full time and all my children were in school, I could write much, much faster than I do now. It’s the interruptions that kill me. I average about 4 pages an hour if I tie myself to the chair, know what I’m about to write, and do not touch the Internet. Anyway, it was a great morning, and I ran errands after that. I’m now going to kick back and do line edits on another project. I KNOW. The excitement is just too much! Hold me back!

Yesterday, the children consumed their body weight in chocolate, several chocolate bunnies sacrificed their lives on the altar of joy, and hubby and I watched one of my all-time favorite movies The Karate Kid on DVD. Now if I could just train my children to wax the cars, paint the house, paint the fence, and sand the floor, and make them believe they were actually karate training, I’d be set. Oooh, there’s an idea! I could brainwash them into thinking that mopping the floor, vacuuming, and dusting, are all part of their karate training. Mop left-mop right. Big dusting circles. They must be coerced into the Master Plan.

So, did you have a nice Easter?
