Shifty...

I'm going to be moving some blogs from "there" to "here"... because, it's tiring having to shift from one to the other... so, you'll probably be seeing a bunch of new/old stuff... Just FYI...

Me Time

I consider myself a hard working person. I currently have two jobs - three, if you count writing books, which I do; I put effort into it, and it makes me money, ergo it's a job. I also have kids and pets and a house that need keeping up. That's work, too. And, I'm not alone in this boat. I think I know more people with two (or more) part-time jobs than full-time ones, as there are more of the former to be had. Juggling three jobs is frustrating at times. I feel as though I'm being pulled in three directions. My "main" job (the one I've been at for 6+ years and have accrued vacation time with) is pretty flexible with my schedule as long as I am available on Saturdays. My other job is willing to work around the other days of the week, and I fit writing into the little nooks and crannies in between. If I get a few minutes to write, even if it's on the back of a pharmacy bag while standing in line at the grocery store, I'm working on whatever project...

Oh, for the love of all that is holy.. it BURNS!!

I'm doing my best to keep up with the promises I made to myself... one of which was to spend at least a half hour a day doing some kind of physical activity with the kids. Last night, since it was chilly and threatened to rain, we made use of the Wii, but even modern technology cannot replace a sunny evening in the fresh air - or so I thought. So, the kids and I took our soccer ball to a baseball field a few blocks away and played a soccer/baseball hybrid (and if anyone knows the proper name for it, please let me know). Basically - with 4 people - one person rolls the ball from the pitcher's mound to the kicker at home base... one person stands between first and second base and another between second and third. Once the kicker launches the ball into outer space he or she makes their way around the bases, while the two basemen catch said ball and try to tag the kicker. If the kicker is tagged, they are out. If they make it all the way around, they get a point. The person with th...

I believe the children are our future...

(fair warning - I may drop a couple f-bombs) I should know better than to read the comment section on Facebook. Today, kids across our nation have taken time from their regularly scheduled classes to walk out in protest to our current gun control situation. Simultaneously, they used that time to honor victims of school shootings not only in Parkland, Florida one month ago, but each and every shooting death that could have been prevented. But, I'm not here to argue about gun control today. I could probably write a book about how I feel on that subject. I happened to catch a live feed on Facebook from a Roanoke news station, and at the bottom of the screen were a slew of little, angry face emojis. You know, those red and yellow dot frowny-faces with the furrowed eyebrows you click when something makes you upset? Yeah... those. The video is of a walkout at a nearby middle school, where students are peacefully protesting. They walked outside and held hands for seventeen minut...
