…at this blog thing lately. I come home from the RWA conference and my life has been on fast forward ever since. But! There is light at the end of the tunnel. I can see it and as every day passes, it gets brighter and brighter.
School starts this upcoming Monday.
I’ll get back on track come Monday I swear! I have lots of things to share. For one, a new cover! I love cover art…
So see ya next week! I promise!

…to do Caturday on Saturday. Shame on me. And I took photos of the kittens and everything. There’s always next week right?
It’s insane this week. Last week of school. Oldest is out Thursday. Other two munchkins are out Friday. Since I’m room mom for youngest munchkin, I have a huge project to work on (finishing up the memory books for each child in class – ack) plus organizing the last day of school party. Save me now!
At least I turned in a novella to my Samhain editor last week so that’s off my plate. I’m turning in the final revision on my historical manuscript to my agent right now. So the writing obligations are few. Though watch…edits are headed my way I just know it.
This rambling on is just to let you know why I won’t be posting much this week. It’s just too nutty. I can’t wait for school to be over! Ask me how I feel about this in about three weeks though okay? I’ll be saying I can’t wait for school to start! I’m fickle that way.
What are YOU up to this week?

We had one at my house. Cinnamon rolls on Saturday morning, hanging out, laundry, gorgeous weather, chasing these ladies:
Watching this movie:
Pancakes and bacon on Sunday morning, lots of playing of the Super Mario Brothers game on Wii and swimming! Yes my children are nuts. I don’t even attempt to get in that pool till the end of May.
I’m relaxed and ready to tackle the week. Lots of writing planned – ooh and today is my husband’s birthday.
Happy Birthday Husband!! Love you!

(Hey let’s keep the animal theme on the blog going this week!)
This is my rooster. His name is, ahem, Black Spider-man. Clearly, my five year old son named him.
He is a macho ass. He struts around like he owns the joint. If my children run, he chases them. And spurs them! They cry – I whack him with a dried out palm frond. He doesn’t chase me. That might have something to do with the fact that I feed him.
I like him – I like how macho he is though I don’t like it when he chases the kids. I like it when he crows. Chickens and roosters make me think of my childhood and my grandma. She loves chickens – she used to have a bunch of roosters named after presidents. If I need advice, I call her. She’s my chicken whisperer.
We’re overflowing with eggs though. Good thing the majority in my house likes them…

See this guy?
He’s been coming around a lot. Because these girls have moved in with the chickens:
And so he’s trying to garner their attention. By fluffing up his feathers all Thanksgiving-like and putting on a real show. It worked. I saw him, ahem, getting busy with at least one female turkey Sunday afternoon. My daughter saw it too. Ah, life in the country! Nothing like wild birds teaching the children about sex.
Male turkeys are way better looking. Our poor girls are so ugly! I call them our girls because they have literally moved in. They sleep every night on top of the chicken coop. When I open up the gate for the chickens to come out in the morning, the turkeys walk in and eat. They hang out with the chickens all day. I consider those turkeys part of the family now.
Maybe we’ll have some babies to add to the mix…

Despite all of the writing projects hanging heavy on my shoulders, my cluttered house is also a heavy weight. And though I’m plugging along on a certain project that is almost finished, I also feel the extreme need to clean my house.
More like, toss out a bunch of useless crap and free up some space. Kids watch out! I feel like going on a rampage!
Spring break is official in our neck of the woods. So I won’t be blogging as much for the next ten days. Isn’t this photo pretty?
Happy weekend!
