Making Room for Monday
Dear Sunday,
Today was one of those Sunday mornings that no one moved. While it rained outside I also laid quietly before making my exit. I lay there thinking about what all I could do this morning to make room for tomorrow. So I got up and this just that.
I feel better organized for Monday and yet I wonder if it will make a difference of all the things I allow myself to fret over.
Do you ever wish you could rewind time? I do - all the time. Like this morning for instance, I did business work that could have waited until tomorrow. And if I had known my family wasn’t going to move until 10:30 and that I would have three hours of quiet time, I may have tried to write then.
Instead I am writing now while my son is still in his room and my husband has decided to go for a run.
I haven’t been very disciplined this week to say why I didn’t fit in time for the daily 400. All I can say was my brain was cloudy and I blame it on PMS. The next 10 days - starting right about tomorrow will be great. I’ll be productive, I’ll eat right, I’ll have energy and I MAY just get some writing in.
I found something I wrote down in teeny journal I used to keep in my purse. It said,
“Doing You” should come in a prescription bottle because it’s the best medicine.
Looks like I’ve reminded myself to take my writing meds just in time for Monday.
I need to get back to The Christopher Chronicles - that’s MY “kid’s say the darndest things” book series. The difference is, it’s one child and it’s my child. Book two should have been out years ago. Now he’s going on 10 I’m thinking his name shouldn’t be in the title at all. It’ll just have to have a TCC logo or something. He thinks the things are funny but he doesn’t want his school mates to know he ever said funny stuff in the naive way that little kids do. That’s got me stumped for a title and what the cover should look like even though the format is pretty much the same. And this time around it needs to be clear that the book isn’t for children anyway. I also think that people who don’t have young kids will find it more entertaining than ones who do. We will see.
I’ve made it to the end of my 400 words. Thanks for listening Sunday.
