Oh. My. Goodness.
What happened? Our family was proceeding at a moderately-to-insanely busy pace, and then, my book deadline came and…
Wow.
My editor needed the first ten thousand words by October 1. Suddenly the pressure was on. The world dimmed, dishes piled in the sink, laundry piled in the baskets, the 4,000 fliers the kids’ schools send home everyday piled on the counter, and I stopped showering. And sleeping. And eating anything except sugar-laden “energy” products.
M. even took a couple days of work.
It’s been crazy.
But the good news! Nate is smiling. I mean, not in this picture, but almost all of the rest of the time. Especially if you tickle his fat cheeks. Cracks him up every time.
The weather is beautiful. Perfect. Which has been nice for escaping outside when I can’t face the piles of laundry and dishes.
Our families were here this weekend, and it was nice to see them and celebrate the finished book deadline!
Until November 1. When the next 15,000 words are due.
