Friday 5: Let me in!
1. My son has ANOTHER snow day.
The phone message at 6:09a.m. said:
"Good morning, it is 6:09 a.m. and it is Friday, the 13th. Mwahahahahhahaha. And school has been canceled."
The mood in the house is a happy one.
2. I am swamped.
Really. Swamped. With THINGS. To DO. And I can't seem to get any of them done. This may have something to do with #1 above.
3. Fred is back!
With my son home, we were able to catch up on our Things We Put On Fred tubmlr. Here is Fred trying to puzzle it out:
If at first you don't succeed. Turn it into a hat.
4. Please join me on Engchat!
I'm going to be hosting Engchat on January 30th. This is an interactive discussion/chat on Twitter. With English teachers. I am nervous. I also need to think of a topic and write a blog entry to introduce it. Ideas desperately welcome. If you could have a chat with me about something writing/book related, what would you like to talk about?
5.Let. Me. In.
This is me, stuck on the outside.
My son took this picture, on the inside. Warm. Waiting for me to give orders to "Get your boots on! Find your gloves! Zip up your coat! Get out here and help me shovel!" I love my son. But he needs direction. Kind of like Josh, the main character in my work-in-progress, LIVING WITH JACKIE CHAN. He really needs me to tell him what to do. But I am waiting for HIM to figure it out. So we are on opposite sides of the glass. Staring at each other. Waiting for inspiration. Waiting to truly SEE each other and figure out what we really want and need to do. It is a hard time. An anxious time. And it is probably the reason for #2. Because when I am stuck in one place, I seem to be stuck all over the place.
Today, I am hoping to change this situation.
And on that note, I guess I will go open my file.
Happy writing and happy weekend! :-)
