Our nation had a tragedy just last Friday. Many children and adults had lost their lives for no reason. It is difficult not to be impacted by the pain and sorrow, whether or not you have children. I am sure everyone had held their children extra hard and have tried to figure out ways to… Continue reading My Thoughts on Sandy Hook

An interesting blog idea
I have found that I love blogging. There's something about displaying my opinions and having people read them that makes me feel empowered. I find that writing also helps me organize my feelings and thoughts (if you have read the earlier more ranty posts, you can see that is a perfect example). Also, let's be… Continue reading An interesting blog idea

Deadlines are called that for a reason

You are going straight to Jail and not passing Go. The real issue about deadlines? I have yet… Continue reading Deadlines are called that for a reason

I was extremely needy and my husband just as whiny. The funny thing is, these two worrisome adults made the… Continue reading My child… model?
55 Days and Counting
It will be 55 days until January 1st 2013. It will also be 55 days until my Second Draft deadline. I had to give myself one or else I would never finish it.
