Summer Daze....

OK, so I wanna know... where did my summer go? How is it Aug 1 already? It's not fair, it's not fair.... WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Ok, that's done. Now for a catching up. Book deal got put on hold for the moment (although I suspect it is moving forward with other more willing subjects than myself). Of course this was after I spent the lion's share of my summer trying to work as writer, project mgr, agent, rep, mom, wife, teacher, friend.... can we say fried? In a way, it was only natural that I would tumble.... it was just too much. The wake up call? Oddly it was literal. It was the morning my father called to tell me his father had passed. Grandaddy was old... 97... but still, it was a blow. And hearing his angst was just what I needed to put things in perspective about what was important. And for the first time in a while, I looked around. And saw my three girls growing up like gangbusters.... and saw my hubby needing attention.... and saw my health going back to a place that just wasn't... ok, healthy. My online friends weren't seeing me... my real life friends weren't seeing me... and I just didn't like having to choose to meet a deadline.

Now this doesn't mean that I won't be writing a book -- after all, someone said I write a lot like Erma Bombeck. But I am going to be writing my own this time... and collaborating with a friend as well. The timetable for turnaround is a lot longer when you are doing it for you. It will allow me to teach, be a Mommy, a Wife, a Friend... and myself. I like that.

Are you wanting to write, too? Come on and join me! There are moms all over who write, and lots of mailing groups and forums just for them. You can join the ones I am on... or I can create one for all of us women entrepreneurs... let's reinvent, reenergize, and renew -- TOGETHER!
