this and that

by Kay~Kacey on 1/9/2006

okay, I’m working on another proposal for NEXT. I hope to have it winging it’s way to NYC either this week or next week at the latest. You know, once everyone gets back to school and life settles down. Does anyone have ANY idea how much laundry FIVE boys generate?? With a handful of them over 6 foot tall??? Not to mention trying to keep groceries on the shelves and food in the fridge 😯 Don’t get me wrong, I so enjoy every minute of having them home. But since they are only here for hit and miss visits, it’s really hard to get into any routine and figure out how to make real life work when they’re here. So real life just takes a back seat… (do NOT, I repeat, do NOT come to my house right now. Give me a week or so to shovel it out.).

Good thing my boss is understanding at work…

Couple of sales this last week around blog land. That’s always exciting. See, publishers really do buy new authors. Or so I keep telling myself.

Mary January 9, 2006 at 10:02 pm: Five boys!!! Good god, I’d go crazy. Good luck with the Next proposal. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Come enter my contest–chocolate.
Hugs, and I’m glad you are back.
Amy K January 9, 2006 at 11:03 pm: I cannot IMAGINE the laundry. It kills me here and I only have 2 little guys and a husband. Good luck with your Next proposal. Your day will come and I really hope it’s SOON!
PJ January 9, 2006 at 11:33 pm: That’s what I keep telling myself, too, because it’s TRUE! Every year, in every line, at LEAST one newbie author is born. :secret: If it can happen for them, it can happen for you…
Teresa January 10, 2006 at 8:03 am: Laundry for FIVE boys???? No wonder you’re exhausted. You need to take a :bath: and relax before getting into that proposal!
Kelly January 10, 2006 at 8:51 am: Wow…five boys…that is A LOT of laundry. I’m picturing you lost in the heaps.

😮
Melissa January 10, 2006 at 12:03 pm: I have two boys to contend with – okay, one is my husband, but he’s just a big kid anyway – and they generate more laundry than my daughter and I put together! I can’t figure it out.
Larissa January 10, 2006 at 12:30 pm: I keep telling myself the same thing! Good luck with that proposal! :typing:
Tori Lennox January 10, 2006 at 4:23 pm: You’re a brave woman, Kacey.
Sharon January 10, 2006 at 5:58 pm: Good luck with your proposal! I’m in the middle of proposal writing as well, but I won’t be ready to submit for awhile yet.
Michelle January 10, 2006 at 7:26 pm: You’re going to be on that new author list, soon! Wait and see! :coffee2:
Rene January 10, 2006 at 10:57 pm: I only have three kids and the laundry is beyond belief, I can’t imagine with five. And the food??? Yikes. Glad to see you are getting into the swing of things on the writing front.
