I feel happy… I want to go for a walk!

(I was going to do “I’m not dead yet” but apparently I’ve done that one before…)

Anyway, this week I:

* Went back to work and saw students

* Took kids to soccer practice with Mate, twice

* Took T to fail his driver’s permit exam

* Took T to look smashing for his Senior Portraits

* Took the little kids to the pool (today)

* Fielded an insane kitten on my head for three out of five mornings

* Got up at five a.m. to write every morning (apparently freaking out the spouse who did not know that I did that!)

* Faxed my contract for “Guarding the Vampire’s Ghost” (which as you might guess, was harder than it seems!)

* Started knitting a hat for a student during staff meetings and lunch. (Yes. I still knit. Why?)

* Wrote a Jack & Teague mini that I posted on Goodreads.com

* Engaged in marital relations on more than one occasion (which normally I wouldn’t mention, but when you put it together with the getting up at five in the morning is something I’m sort of proud of.)

* Went shopping for candy for my students (see above for why this was special.)

* Actually cooked dinner on more than one occasion (see above for why this was special.)

* Read to my kids (see above for why this was special.)

* Wrote about 3K on the Christmas short I’m working on (see above for why this was special.)

* Offended my coworkers (see previous post for how this happened and why I’m not shocked.)

* Didn’t kill anybody. (See above for why this was special.)

Tomorrow is our last weekend before soccer games begin.

I’m looking forward to this with a masochistic, stoned-from-lack-of-sleep sort of way. La–off to fall deeply asleep in front of bad television. Can’t wait!
