Another day

The writing blog

Well, I have discovered something important over the last two days.  Dinner doesn't get cooked if I am in my room writing.  I am sure my family is glad I have made this realisation.  It's not that I plan on this happening, it just seems to.  I go into my room around 4pm to work and next thing you know it's 7 and my kids are wondering what's for dinner.  Nothing always pops into my head, but I haven't disregarded my responsibilities to that stage yet.  Now I see why I should write in the morning.  Although, I really can't see that happening.  I have faith that I will find the balance I am seeking.  If not I have faith that my family will nag me until I do. 

Speaking of family, Lani is struggling with the flu.  It is horrible to see your kids sick.  The logic is definitely floored in some way but I would much rather it be me than her.  I hope she feels better really soon and that it doesn't go right through the household again.  Anyhow I have a lot of home schooling work to do, for some reason curriculums just don't design themselves, so I am going to go and prove to myself that I can be a responsible, functioning adult and do what I am supposed to be doing.

If anyone has any tips on how to squeeze some more hours out of the day I would love to hear them. Please share. I did find one way - I didn't come on here for a couple of days. That helped but I missed it so I am back.  I wish I could find a way to miss housework and cooking.
