It's November and NaNoWriMo and ME are back...

Ok, I'm back.  I has been a hell of a year.  I have been working full time midnights (and extra hours!) while spending a lot of time involved in the wedding of the century - youngest sone S got married to a wonderful woman that I love -V, and she is great for my kid.  Along with all this, J and I have been trying to buy a house on Corey Lake which is about three hours from our regular home, so every weekend driving back and forth ( sometimes the only sleep I get is the nap in the car...)  well as taking courses to finish the degree that the hospital I work for was making me get to keep my job that of course was costing a lot ($14,000 in one year !) and then on my birthday - yep, on my birthday, I was told my position was eliminated.  So out of a job and 7 weeks left to get the degree.  Seriously?  Making me a degree to keep the job, then eliminated my position.  But, I am being paid until April as severance - April!!! So, not worrying about working right now, just going to finish this degree AND write my next novel, as well help my sister whose cancer came back AGAIN.  Honestly, can't God concentrate on some one else for a while?  She needs a break!
November 1st and NaNoWriMo is on again.  I am beginning another novel and fully intend to win again this year.  One of these novels will make me money, I just know it.   I will keep this blog up to date as much as possible, while finishing this last class, site the novel of the ear, take care of my angel babies, and my best friend, love of my life, and husband - J.  And drive across the state twice a week to fix up the 1900's home we bought... My life is kind of full, but the only way I know how to live...

School, work, illnesses, oh my!

Yep, I am over whelmed...I work full time (a little violin is playing in the back ground) on midnights, I go to school to finish yet another degree I need to keep the full time midnight job (wine and cheese served next) and take care of my sister that the Cancer Devil hit again - fourth time is the charm right?  That's what they said last time...

So, I am not blogging on a regular basis but no one is quite caring since no one has noticed.  Its more of a cleansing process for me - a primary scream, only with words, and no scream - to blog out my frustrations!  I have a new book stuck in my head that I am virtually writing on the way to and from work, then when I get home, I do my homework, fall asleep only to get up and finish the homework I didn't quite finish before said passing out...and off to work once again.  I can't even get the premise down on paper (computer paper that is!) as of yet.  Maybe this Friday when I take B to the U for more chemo (she calls rat poison, which it probably is based on...another story, but its the best they got!).  Maybe late Friday night when I SHOULD be sleeping and because I am so tired, I can't, I'll write the story...or finish my paper that is due on Sunday...

Oh well.  I will get all the stuff done that I need to, get to work as I need to, be with my sister that I WANT to, and write when I can...after I get some sleep.  No more whining for me!

Well, it's been a while...

Yes, it has.  Why, then am I still hanging out, still blogging, when it doesn't show up?  I can't tell you what happened.  I might have messed up, made a mistake, or maybe just stopped writing all together...

I did all of the above.  I began a new job, a new semester in school the same week that the 2011 NaNoWriMo began and for the first time that I have set a deadline to finish something, I didn't.  I passed my classes.  I learned to do my new job (really that part wasn't hard, but for the longest time it was on days - yuck!) and only finished 3/4 of the book, so stopped counting words.  I just didn't finish it.  I will, but I have a paper due first...

Now, you ask, what does this blog do for me?  Well, it will be in the place of a counselor.  Yes, my wonderful sister B has cancer once again.  Fourth times a charm! Ha.  Not so much.  She is sick of being sick.  Actually, when we find out the cancer is back, she is not sick at all.  Its after the radiation and chemo treatments that she is sick!  So, dear friends, I will be working, going to school, trying to be a mother-in-law to be to two wonderful women that my two sons are marrying, a good wife, friend, etc to my wonderful husband, my friend, my love of my life, as well as still try to write, between caring for my sister and occasionally two grandpuppies, along with my two monster dogs.  Yeah.  I'm a bit busy...

Here's to stress - it keeps you on your toes...
