Am I the only one that's just realizing this? It snuck up on me. (Yes, snuck.) In less than two months, my kids will be home all day, every day for optimal getting-under-each-other's-skin factor.
More importantly, Ms. Judy's Will Write for Chocolate Bootcamp begins today, so go on over and check that out if you need a little external motivation. Because, dude. Salted. Caramels.
I'm not too sure how I'll do given the general craziness that is the month of May, but I'll give it my best shot. I don't have a door to close, so it may be rough. Then again, DYS would probably be paying me a visit if I had one and used it, given the ages of the children I'd be ignoring. That would be rougher.
I may need to put some tape down like Less Nessman. (If you don't know who Less Nessman is, Get off my lawn!)
My goal is to write enough to win a chocolate or two while still keeping my children alive and fed. Okay, and relatively clean. What are your goals this month?
Oh oh oh! Also? Someone found my blog this week by searching "ginger from gilligan's island sneezing." So there's that.
I think you win for most awesome phrase someone has found you with.
ReplyDeleteSo if you put tape down will you make the children knock on the fake door and turn the fake knob the way Less did?
Of course, only Herb really did it but I have a feeling you'd have some very amused children knocking and turning the knob all day.
I don't know. I think Chuck Wendig wins the internet for search terms. And, yes, they will have to knock. I WILL NOT BE DISTURBED! Except by all the pretend knocking.
DeleteHey, are those gherkins?
ReplyDelete-Magnum
Mmmmm, gherkins!
DeleteBirthday posts, anniversary posts, family posts...what brings Magnum out of hiding? Gherkins.
DeleteMy first goal is to remember my damn yahoo account so I can sign up for chocolate bootcamp.
ReplyDeleteSecond goal is make MS pretty!
I am routinely found, mainly by folks in Indonesia and Iran, through the search for "Survivor Penis," or "lonely woman."
Just make a new one. If you still have an old one, they'll say, Hey, you already have an account. Wanna change the password? And there you'll be.
DeleteAlso, Survivor Penis is the name of my new post-punk string quintet.
Two words: summer camp. Especially ones where they sleep there. I should have one week for each kids without the other and one week (wheeee!) with no kids at all!!
ReplyDeleteChocolate and salted caramels? *sigh*
Two words: flat broke. Perhaps once I have a bestseller. *cough*nevergonnahappen*cough*
DeleteMmmm. Salted caramels. Excuse me while I have a moment.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your Chocolate Boot Camp effort! :)
I know that moment. I have that moment every day. Take your time.
DeleteI'm in with you for Will Write for Chocolate, though I got off to a less than stellar start. I've never had salted caramels -- me thinks this is something I need to explore further.
ReplyDeleteWin or lose, you must have a chocolate covered salted caramel. Must.
DeleteCrap. effing internet ate my comment. Blast. bleep! It was a good one too.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the boot camp, but I won't win any chocolate. Just can't concentrate long enough.
I feel ya.
DeleteOkay, that's a lie. I can concentrate. I just can't get the people in my life to leave me alone so I can concentrate.
ReplyDeleteGinger from Gilligan's Island sneezing? Wow.
How come I don't know what people are searching for when they get me?
I feel ya even more.
DeleteDo you use analytics on your blog? Google analytics will install in just about anything, but there are other programs to do that as well. Blogger tells me as part of my stats.
I found Tina Louise's daughter on Twitter! She's hilarious!!! I even made a subversive cross stitch version of one of her tweets.... *I* found it amusing anyway..... where did I put that thing?
ReplyDeleteLol, gherkins!
May crept up on me too. Not that this helps you in any way, just mentioning it. And hey, you know how I always tell you and Megan to appreciate those damn kids cuz some day they'll be gone? Right. They also come back. Now I have NO useful assvice.
I need to go see about analytics again. The Seattle kids promised me that feature like a year ago. See? Kids are horrible. Hide in your room.
LOL I can't hide in my room. The cats know how to open the door. :)
