But I'm sure our shared struggles do help others out with the 'thank goodness, it's NOT just me!' At least those of us balancing the kids/family thing. FOUR kids?! I end up with a houseful 3x/week, and i only have 2 kids!! I am SO heading to your blog to see how you do it!! <br /><br />Have a great weekend, and thanks for the kind words, I'm always happy to entertain, glad to hear you enjoyed the post!<br /><br />S.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698723929756681121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221703311333810082.post-46082168317602398572011-08-05T22:01:26.082-05:002011-08-05T22:01:26.082-05:00Shari, thanks for your very candid post!!

I will then be in the clear to peck away tonight at the marinating WIP.<br /><br />I'm really, really happy you have a more straight-forward way of tackling YOUR's!!! flapping is funner from the sidelines ;-) Thanks for coming by again, Ms. Stewart!Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698723929756681121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221703311333810082.post-10049036578860145842011-08-05T13:18:28.451-05:002011-08-05T13:18:28.451-05:00Yeah, what they said . .

Thank you! ;)<br /><br />BTW, your short story is doing some much-needed "fermenting." You're gonna love it when it's ripe!

I feel for ...ouch, Nancy, a college bound baby :-(. I feel for you!!! (first grade whining is very silly in the light of day!! )<br /><br />The title of this blog includes both orchids and mayhem, duty bound, I am, to occasionally report on both:-) Many of us are in similar cycles, so it Always helps me to hear others saying "What the Hell?!" <br /><br />I appreciate so much hearing about other efforts. I honestly think it's what keeps us all going!!! Thanks for stopping by, it may help me pick up the extra oomph to get back on track :-) Have a great finish!Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698723929756681121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221703311333810082.post-25406682483180180262011-08-04T06:06:55.112-05:002011-08-04T06:06:55.112-05:00Oh, Shari, life does happen, doesn't it? And ...Oh, Shari, life does happen, doesn't it? And let me tell you, missy, you are NOT doing worse than every single last one of us, my dear. There were over 100 participants who signed up--and many have not posted since. So you are far, far better than those who have already given up!!<br /><br />When this sort of week happens to me--and I am sending my youngest off to COLLEGE, so imagine the tears--I look at it as research, lol. Think of all the emotions you'll be able to describe.<br /><br />Seriously, I am sure that the WIP is just slowly rising under its damp cloth, slowly growing and waiting for you to come back and find a lovely loaf of bread ready for the oven. <br /><br />Hang in there, feel free to shout out for someone to talk to, and have a better week!Nancy Poehlmannhttp://lapidaryprose.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
