Today's #dailydoodle

Our 8yo surprised us today by wanting to try new flavors first thing this morning. Ok, they were just donuts, so it's not like she was tasting rutabaga or something, but she voluntarily tried birthday cake flavor and lemon flavor and ignored the plain vanilla iced we got her.

Well, I might not have written anything yesterday, but I did end up finishing reading the book that I had wanted to finish by the end of April. So that’s something.

Somehow, even though I was home most of the day, I didn't write anything AND I didn't practice ukulele either. I did get a bit of laundry done though, but that's neither here nor there.

My brother may be mad at me that we left "suddenly" at 9:30 pm, not waiting 5 more minutes for ice cream cake. But, to be fair, it was at 7:40 pm that we sang Happy Birthday to my nephew and he blew out the candles. We waited two hours already by then. Time seems to work differently for them.

At nephew's eleventh birthday party and one of his friends suggested "let's go spy on the girls!" The girls, including my oldest, her cousin, and friend, are all a foot or more taller and teenagers. That isn't going to work out well for anyone.

My sister-in-law is crazy and I'm finding it hard to stand it. But then, it turns out, that her oldest kid is also super crazy and now they are battling it out while we are all trapped here.

I'm pretty satisfied with my word count total for April. Definitely bounced back after a very low month in March, but not quite as high as I started the year.

I'm so freakin' tired, I just basically wasted my entire prep period just sitting here, in the teacher's lounge, staring off into space, listening in on bits and pieces of other people's conversations, not even following any one thread.

One huge weight off my shoulders - got the dental issue taken care of. I just needed a temp filling replaced. Next time, if this happens again, I might just get a kit from the pharmacy and do it myself.

My goal is to finish the book I've been reading before the end of the day today. I have 57 pages left. I really want to record it for the month of April, hehehe.

One day, I'm gonna start a tally of all the why questions I ask my kids in a 24-hour period. Why are your hands green? Why is the soap dispenser filled with soap? Why is there water all over the table? Why do you bring garbage home in your lunch box? Why haven't you changed socks this week?

In the category of "songs that are much sadder than the chorus would lead you to believe," I would have to add Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. Trying to learn it now on my uke and it's a really sad story.

We went to a neighborhood pizza and bar place tonight cause they were doing a fundraiser for the kid's school. We spent the same as on fast food last night, BUT we have leftovers, hubs had a beer, and I got dessert. Most importantly, 50% of our check is going to the school.

You all know I teach and do tech support, but what do you think would be a really surprising day job for an erotica writer?

A couple of women in the teacher's lounge were talking about taking their kids to "my country" for the summer. They want to go for the whole two months, cause what's there to do here? Personally, I can't imagine leaving my husband and just spending the summer alone with the kids.

This cold is kicking my butt and my voice is going. At least I wasn’t falling asleep on my way to work this morning, so that’s something.

And that's my husband, folks. Tragically straight and hopelessly white.

Well, that's not something I see every day - I random duck just casually waddling down the middle of the street. We are more likely to have turkeys coming through than ducks and they are far less chill and more aggressive.

Oh, look. Made it to #1 today while FREE. I guess there must not be all that many Erotic Anthologies, hehe.

It's crazy that a fast-food, medium combo meal runs $20 now. It's no longer a quick, busy night go-to and more of a special treat.

I'm fit enough that I can stand, balancing on one foot, while tying my shoes. But I'm so out of shape that I'm a bit out of breath after that.

And now, my least favorite part of the day - lunch duty.

I was home sick yesterday and I wrote nothing. And it wasn't like I was in bed sick with a fever, I was just sitting on the sofa, watching TV, running to pee every 40 min - 1hr. And I still did no writing.

I just ate something really delicious that I picked up in the office this morning from a huge tray of them. It was like a two bite brownie, but maybe a little bigger, and it was filled with that pistachio mix that is so popular now. It was really tasty with my coffee.
