Last night I heard the cat yelling out - usually means he has a mouse. The dog went running to join in the fun. Moments later the teen is yelling for me to wake up. “A chipmunk is in the bathroom!” Friends it was a flying squirrel. 🫣 (He was scooped up with towel and released outside.)

So I went downstairs to write but my husband is playing “cleansing singing bowls” loudly on the dinner speakers because the poltergeist in our 175 year old home has been a lot lately. Anyways these are the normal things keeping me from working today. #writingcommunity

I’m trying to write pitches but Oberon said nope.

I went from being the loud teen friend singing in the back seat to the MOM driving all the loud singing teens to the mall. 🫣😭 #momlife
