Sunday Update – November 12, 2017
During November, it’s hard for me to break away from NaNoWriMo to do other things, but this time around, I’m being much better about budgeting my time.
We had a busy week around here. Monday and Wednesday were our only normal days, and the rest were either abbreviated or off from school.
On Monday, we did our normal things. I wrote during the day and we had gymnastics in the evening.
Tuesday was Election Day, which means a half day of school for my kids. I dropped them off in the morning and then voted and went for a walk to exercise off the donut I bought at the school bake sale. Lol. I made sure to bring singles this time because I wasn’t missing the baked goods. The day turned out well when all the election results came in, and I felt a little better about humanity.
Wednesday, my husband worked from home and the cleaning ladies came. I went for a walk while they were here and got in my words in any way that I could.
Thursday and Friday, My kids had off from school due to a statewide teachers’ conference. On Thursday, I took them grocery shopping in the morning and then they had piano lessons in the afternoon. We’ve been watching Supergirl together whenever we can, and we watched an episode together during our lunchtime, which was nice. Then on Friday, my husband worked from home and I just tried to keep my kids from eating each alive out of boredom. Not easy, especially when I’m trying to write a first draft.
Saturday was another day where we just tried to keep the kids from being bored. I tried to set up some playdates but either people were out of town, busy, or sick. Not surprising given this particular four-day weekend and the weather in November. The youngest went to a birthday party, and by the end of the day, I thought I was getting sick too. I was just plain worn out. I did get in 2000 words though!
Today was a bit more chill. I didn’t do much. I didn’t walk. I sat on the couch a lot and did work on the computer. I set up all my blog posts for this week and wrote. We managed to get a playdate set up for the youngest, so at least she was occupied.
Thank god we go back to school tomorrow! At least the kids do. I go back to my daily work days.
