So my little family got thru Christmas/Yule/ or whatever you choose to celebrate, with out too much drama. But I know the family issues I have with my parents, and siblings are getting worse but I will not get in to that. My kids got lots of toys and things they wanted and some they didn't think they did and loves everything. Now we just need to get thru the next week and this year will be over and a new year will start. I hope next year will be better than this one was. I have decided my New Years resolutions for next year are to first cut all drama causing people out of my life. I have been way too stressed because of the drama, and I do not need the added drama. Then write more on what I want to write not what I think others would want. I will also work harder to lose the weight I want to lose. Well I need to start dinner soon Happy reading Happy writing

      I always have a hard time balancing my writing and the upcoming holiday, my family and I celebrate Christmas/Yule. With all the shopping I have/had to do I have the worst time trying to write. A lot of my problem is the amount of negitive people that are out and about this time of year and dealing with family issues that seem to get a lot worse this time of year as well. This year I did A LOT of my shopping on line, so there are only a few thing I need to actually have to go out to get. So writing has been a little easier but not as easy as the rest of the year.              The other problem is family issues and I will not go in to them as it will just bring up more drama than what is really needed. We have Christmas at my in law's on Christmas Eve and we have Yule with my family on chritmas day after we have our own Yule that morning with just hubby, the kids and myself. Right now I can't wait until the holidays are over. But I...

We if you are in the US or are from here you know that last Thursday was thanksgiving. My thanksgiving went ok, it was a bit stressful but it have been soo much worse then it really was. It's one of the few holidays that people don't argue about saying happy thanksgiving which makes it awesome. After dinner and yummy pie and some banana pudding hubby the kids and myself  headed home and got comfy. I ended up dozing off for a few hours, I guess I needed it. I did write some Monday Tuesday and a little yesterday (Friday) which means I am starting to get back on track a little with my work. Now I have to do some research on bisons, no hints or spoilers you will have to wait and see. It's very early in the morning and I should really get to bed. Happy reading Happy writing

  Our Halloween was a bit wet, it was misting most of the evening and night. But the kids had a lot of fun and where the only trick or treaters in my brother in law's neighborhood so they got lots of candy.   My first week of November has been eventful, but I am not doing nanowrimo this year. The eventfulness started on Monday 2 kids that ride my daughter's school bus decided they had to physical fight while getting on the stupid bus. This was the first fight in person and she was soo scared. She talked to a councilor at school and that helped her a lot. Tuesday went by with no drama, Wednesday started uneventful, but that afternoon I got a call from my daughter's school nurse. My daughter was hit in the head with a soccer ball that was thrown. I went and got her took to the ER, they did ct scan and it was normal. She just had a really bad headache, she can't go to PE, or recess until Tuesday. Yesterday and today she had a bit of a headache but nowhere near as bad as ...

   I am very sorry I have not posted in awhile, I wish I could say it was because I was writing or being productive. But that's not why I have not posted a blog in a while. Must of the issues are to do with my parents and siblings not really wanting to talk or see us in almost a year, I will not going in to anymore detail then that because I do not want to deal with the aftermath from my family if they read this blog post.       The other stuff I have been dealing with is my birthday, yes I am now 36, and the chili cook off that took place last weekend. The chili cook off went well until my sister and her kids showed up then the chili sales petered off not sure if it was because of my sister or not but it happened.   Now I am feel sad, and pissed off again because of the issues with my family. I think I need to just hide from everything and every one for a while. But I can't do that my kids still need me around. I am getting off here and taking a ni...

     Archon was this past weekend, it was fun and I had a total fan girl moment. I also went to the writer's workshop I mentioned in another post.       First I will tell you all about my fan girl moment, one of the guest at Archon was face off finalist R. J. Haddy!!!!! I was so excited to see him. I got an autograph photo and my kids and I had picture with him. It was amazing, if I could figure out how to add photos to the blog post with all the updates my host site did.  He was soo cool to talk to, I hope he comes back next year.    Now about the workshop I went to, I was told that the work I submitted this year was the best the host had seen from me in 3 years of me going to the workshop. It was suppose to be a 2 hour event but, it was just me and one other author there to have our work critiqued. Which was a lot less then what I thought would have been there. The author that hosted it every year I took part in the writer's workshop is...
