I know it’s been about a week or so since I posted. Life just runs away so fast, doesn’t it? WRITING NEWS I’ve been working at getting Sword & Illusion completely polished and finished. It isn’t easy. This is a very complicated story and contains lots of delicate threads and changing just one has consequences …

Both kids are off for Martin Luther King’s birthday. The Girl said, “I have German and Biology tomorrow. What classes do you have?’ The Boy said, “I think I have PE.” “I used to have PE.” Mommy: I think he’s going to the library tomorrow, too. The Girl: I used to have those, but when …
Actually, there were several all connected. It’s almost like God thinks I need to be shaken over and over again until I get the message! Yesterday the priest at Mass was from Food for the Poor. He told stories that broke my heart. Little kids who only have dirt to eat, families where they have …
Yes, I did mean to blog every day but after two days there wasn’t much to say beyond, here it is, Day three, same ole same ole. We had some personal stuff go on in the family. The Girl came home from college for the weekend. It’s not actually a SUPER big deal as she’s …
Interestingly enough I felt better this morning when I got up. Spent a lot of last night trying to come up with a title for an inspirational romantic suspense about an ex-black ops guy who wants to put his past behind him and settle down in a small town but can’t because someone blames him …

Starting today, I stop taking the thyroid hormone which means eventually I’m going to feel terrible, but we need to make sure the thyroid cells that are left are as receptive to the iodine as they …
The Boy started kindergarten yesterday. Okay, he started Kindergarten, the Sequel, yesterday, and even then it was only for a half hour so the kids could see their classroom and meet their teachers. The Boy has the older teacher who took him (and several other kids who were having behavior problems) under her wing, so …
Years ago when I was in college, I attended a forensics tournament as part of a public speaking class. On the drive back to my dorm (my brother insists they’re called “residence halls” – yeah, whatever), I hit a patch of fog so bad I could barely see past the front of the car. I …
This actually happened several days ago and I intended to blog about it, but with so much else going on in our lives, it’s hard to sit down and tell you about the funny stuff that happens around here. First, the roaches. No, we don’t live in a garbage dump, but the lovely, genteel South, …
Last Easter, I couldn’t get to all the services for the Triduum because the Boy had his tonsils out on Maundy Thursday, so I missed that service. The Girl says Beloved stayed home that night, too, but I don’t remember that. She and I went to Good Friday and then she and Beloved went to …
