I am the mother of three amazing girls, currently 5, 3 and 1. An avid lover of Pinterest! it gives me some of the best ideas. Attempted and failed homemaker, I tip my hat to those who are able to do this with flare and style, (my best friend Erica included.) But writing is my newest passion

Busy brick wall weekend
So this weekend Preston wanted to work on our front yard landscaping. Which basically took up the entire day. The first wall is finished, and naturally Ali was the perfect helper. Now, there is no need to explain the small events that lead me to my anger, the end result is me not writing. But multiple factor aggregated me early Saturday morning and the small simple fact that I have edited my manuscript so mush that I need to completely re-do both of my synopses, not to mention my query letter. Long story short the last straw of my composure was broken and my anger was decidedly present. Preston, is anything but appreciative of my mood and called upon a previous agreement I was unable to write for the last few days. The agreement was if my writing ever effected the mood of family then I need to take a "break" and he wanted me to not write for three days. Not only was I reluctant to accept this but I took a day off of my penalty. In hindsight it was good because it allowed me the time to think about exactly how I'm going to re-write basically everything in my agent prep folder.
For the most part the girls were good. Their cousin Noah had his sixth birthday party so the both had a blast. Saturday was spent working outside, so for a switch Sunday morning I did the chores I needed to do and basically left Preston to take care of the kids. He didn't like all of the things he had to do like get them breakfast, clothed, teeth brushed and kept generally happy. I laughed and took a shower, and laughed a little more (laughing all on the inside of course). I'd say it was a positive weekend.
On a side note I'm learning the ins and outs of Pinterest!!
