The Hive - whatever we want it to be about
Ugh Grey!! I dont know how you do it. I have one kid and I can barely deal. I cant possibly imagine having 3 sick kids. I had to laugh at the cage match thing. My son cant swallow pills....so medicine is challenge for us.Hope your day gets better.
Ugh, and of course, you are probably thinking your daughter also has strep after going through the doctor on the way to the next one. *hugs* Sounds like a hellish day. I hope tomorrow is WAY better.
LMAO! At the cage match! I feel you!! I have had many of those with mine. I hope they are feeling better. AND I think there should be a Done Adulting Club...Monday is already here...UGH

Agree! Mondays are a kick in the teeth!! Is it bad that I am already ready for Friday? The days of sleeping until noon and eating Fruit Loops for dinner seem like a life time ago!! lol
LOL Grey. I shouldn't laugh. I feel for you, I really do. It's the way you express it that made me laugh I guess. Luckily you still have a sense of humour! My three boys are grown now, but I remember it well........ trying to wrangle everyone into the car to get to school and work on time, but someone had lost their homework, or their left shoe..... etc.... etc....... OMG THOSE were the days!!*whispers* life gets easier eventually.......
*shoves mouthful of fruit loops with lucky charms marshmallows (because I'm an adult and can order stuff on Amazon) * No judgement here!! :)
I wrote a blurb today. I'm done adulting for the next 3 months. Or until 7am when I actually have to write a book. Never mind. Carry on and pass the Lucky Charms. And tequila.
Mixing fruit loops and lucky charms? Genius! I've been on a cocoa krispies binge lately.Robin, can we see this new blurb???
You and I could TRULY be friends in real life too, Ela....that sounds awesome and the perfect breakfast food!!!

I ordered Oh's online because I couldn't find the cereal at the local stores, I know it has lots and lots of sugar but darn it it's so good!https://www.walmart.com/ip/Post-Honey...
Ooooh, I'd also lurve stuffed cabbage for breakfast! I've been eating semi-sensible cereal forever now because I'm still doing low sodium with all my swelling, but in my normal, 'real' life, if I'm going to eat breakfast, I'd rather have ANY savory food besides something typically thought of as 'breakfast food'.

Actually, for cereal, that's kind of average as far as sugar. lol Some get MUCH higher.

Go easy on me. It's been a long few days. 😵 Just kidding. You don't have to go easy on me. Give me hell. I'll just be in the corner sucking my thumb and guzzling my tequila.

Dude where have you been??!! My book was almost 170k words! I split it. but no CH. I listen to you guys!
Well Geez I missed that part....shoot me!
Ela wrote: "Well Geez I missed that part....shoot me!"LOL. I have 2 covers in process right now. So close...
Ummmm, apparently Ela and I live under the same rock. I had no clue it was a duet. I did go read the blurb and mark it on my To Read list. I'm so excited for you, Robin!!
Haha maybe it's just because I've been panicking so much I just assumed it carried over!
LISA IT'S A SIGN! WE MUST OFFICIALLY MEET! ARE YOU ON FB?
I just sawr it!!! The blurb is great, Robin!!!
I sure am, Ela. Lisa Ackley Aiello on FB in Omaha. If you see a picture with four goofy ladies, and one adorable one on the right with her head tilted to the side....that's me. And the tilted one is me too :)
Renee wrote: "I just sawr it!!! The blurb is great, Robin!!!"Thanks Renee! I'd totally forgotten that by splitting a book, I'd have to split the blurb too...which means scrapping the original and starting over 😭
Oh that sucks Robin, this is something I do remember, when you were writing it for the standalone book.
Robin, is this blurb much different from original?? It sounds similar to me. Regardless, I loved them both. Let me know when blurb 2 ready. 😗
Certain components are still there, but it's pretty different. And the final part is still being worked on. Whilst drinking mango margaritas.

CHEERS!! Happy writing, Robin! Drinking always helps work move along...

Ela and Lisa--Yay! Now I have faces to put with your names! I made my FB account 'inactive', but it's still there for some reason with my pic under 'Renee M. Craig'. (I still have another FB account just for editing/author/book stuff that IS active, but I never use it either) I find that if I get on FB, all of a sudden 4 hours have passed, and I've accomplished nothing.
I have a FB account under Tessa Donoho and it's active, but I go on, look at things, then get bored ten minutes later. I rarely post. Now... if it involves quizzes... I'm all over those! Gah, those stupid things are addictive. I rarely post anything. I just went to it and it says that I still have 51 notices. 0.0 So I ran from it as fast as possible.
I'm on FB way more than I have time for, but it's been the biggest help with potential reader reach so I'm on there a lot. I rarely ever post on my author page, but my personal is https://www.facebook.com/robinreneehill

Thanks Jen! I've moved on from margaritas to Cabernet. We'll see how it goes!

Cab is my FAV!! Just poured my 3rd glass so we will see how this evening progresses and if I wake up to random texts to people...uh, I mean that never happens...

It took quite a bit of cab last night to get my author page up...then I woke up and deleted the blurb. Then I added it back in. 😂
Tessa, Lisa and Ela--I just FB friended you! Even though I'm never on there lol.Robin--roflmao!

If anyone needs a juvenile laugh, watch this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkLog...
Someone at hubs work showed it to him, and he's been going around reciting it for days! I just now realized it's from 2015, so it may be old news...

Plus we can stop in West and have Kolaches, SCORE!!! :)

But now I never take 35. Always 281! Of course I don't drive from the coast, so that makes a difference.

Then I'm getting ready to leave again, because I had to go get my stitches out today and when I was leaving town, I get a phone call from my daughter's school nurse... and she says, "something is wrong with her." I blow a u-ey, in the middle of the road and fly back to the school to get to her. Bottom line, she's fine, but my heart is in my throat the entire time as I'm flying back to her school.
Is today done yet? (/endrant)
