Too tired for a title.

Admittedly, my word count is not as impressive today as it was yesterday. A mere 1,259 at this point. BUT, I do have a good excuse. I spent from 8:30am-3:05pm at the school today playing the good mommy. *falls over* Still…It’s 1,061 over what I needed for today, thanks to yesterday’s loverly bunch of words. I only need 606 tomorrow to stay on target…And all of this is not counting the now 369 words in reserve. I ended up with six hand written pages today. I wrote while the kids were listening to a story and at recess. I also have two turkeys drawn…on of which is colored and I made a little story for it.

Here is my turkey story:
This is Tom. Tom is a turkey. Tom is thankful he’s not Thanksgiving dinner. Hurrah for Tom.

It’s on one of those sheets of paper that the half top is just blank, and the bottom half is line…With the big lines (so my writing looks like it’s done for little kids). I was working on the second turkey when the kids came back from recess…I swear a half a dozen of them gathered around watching. I forgot how the littlest things amuse them sometimes…Despite my own, which don’t seem as easily amused. I popped out my retainer to show one, and then I had to pop it back out so all the other ones could see it too. *laughs* Silly things.

The phone cord I had on the laptop finally died, completely. I don’t know what it’s issue is. *kicks it* Right now I have two shorter phone cords, connected with a little box thing. Hey, whatever works. And it seemingly is, quite well. Hasn’t even disconnected me in my lazy state of laying down on the futon to write.

*is dying for a cookie* I’m just being too lazy to get up and get one…I’ve got lots of turkey cookies left. They are yummers.

*yawns* I’m tired…I didn’t get the nap I promised myself.

Oh yes, and before I forget, since I forgot last night…

Really now, do you want to stoop to Grim’s level of needing to be mentioned? *laughs* *hugs* You’ll be proud of me though…I’ve got my application to Northwestern filled out, folded up, put in an enveloped, with a check for the fee…Address and stamp put in it’s proper place. So come Friday, it can go on it’s way to the college to see what they say.
Do I get things throw at me if I add Lucy to the list? *laughs* *prepares to duck if need be*

Grim is going home for turkey dinner day. Won’t be home or going home, or something until Sunday. I don’t know if that means I won’t hear from him Sunday or not…Or if I’ll be Grim-free til Monday. *pouts* *hugs Grim*

Back to story talk…Hehehe…I skipped a day in the story, without too much trouble. Hopefully I can skip a few more here and there, and get closer to the main part of what I’m aiming for. Granted I don’t think I’ll have the story wrapped up by the end of November…Which means I’m not sure if I’ll get to the reserve words I have…depends on where I put it for sure. And I think I need to get past there before I can add the requested ‘boot scene’. I was also told tonight that I have to keep writing after November is over to finish my story…At the same pace. *falls over* What? I can’t have a break?

Yeah…I think I’ll finish this off…Get off my arse…and go get me a cookie! (or two or three *laughs*)
