On Writing

Well, I don't have much to say...but I say that and usually end up saying a lot.  Verbal diarrhea is something that I am good at, I think, insomuch as I do a lot of it.  I'm really working on doing some more writing, but things just seem to keep getting in the way.  And the title of this blog is a play on Steven King's book.  I'm nowhere as good as he is, and he discusses writing at every opportunity--something I can't do and don't have time for.  For example, this is what my week is like:

Weekdays--I get up at 6 in the morning, get ready for work.  I work eight hours a day (though I only seem to work 4 because nothing gets done, and I at least get to blog some while I am here), go home, fix dinner, then clean the kitchen.  I may have to do laundry.  Then the hubby wants us to spend time together, so I might be able to get some research time in while we are watching a movie.

Weekends--Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.  Apparently, we live in the most bug-infested house in all of the world.  Not roaches or anything like that, but we get these itty-bitty centipedes, pill bugs, and weird-looking worms that come into the house and curl up and die all over the place.  So the vacuum and I are on a first-name basis right now (which I hate to do).  The husband DOES help--but I absolutely have to get the bugs out of the seam of the carpet and baseboard before I'm happy.

The bad thing is that we still haven't unpacked everything--or, more importantly, my husband hasn't unpacked all of his stuff, yet.  I'm still bringing boxes from the other house (almost done!), but we have boxes in our living room with stuff he pulled out of his truck when he totaled it in February!  I'm exhausted because he wakes me up when he does (the man can't sleep past 7 am), and we are constantly moving, going to someone else's house and traveling.

No more!  Not this weekend!  We have a birthday party to go to, but that's it!  We are going to stay home the rest of the time and only go out for pizza (frozen, that is).

Yeah, like that's going to happen.  I need to write!  Or maybe I just need a book.
