Is today Saturday? The days are a blur. Im on deadline, which means Im a crazy person and family and friends should proceed with caution or wine. On todays docket: 1.) write 5000 words 2.) get 250 words written and remember all the other stuff there is to do 3.) pack my suitcase 4.) remember Ive done no laundry in a couple of weeks and theres a reason Ive been wearing sweatpants and ratty tshirts the past three days. Or maybe its the same sweats and tshirt and I havent showered either. 5.) take a shower 6.) write 250 more words and get interrupted as soon as I get in the groove by a person under four feet tall requiring food or beverage of some kind. 7.) sit back down at computer until the doorbell rings. Mumble curses under my breath and remember that new bedroom furniture is being delivered for all my kids. 8.) tell 5 year old hes in charge of furniture movers and go back to writing. 9.) write 250 more words and get up for bathroom break only to realize new furniture is blocking the way. 5 year old failed at task. Hes fired. 10.) while up remember that laundry still isnt done and suitcase isnt packed. Briefly consider going to Target and buying new clothes to throw in suitcase. 11.) get laundry finished and pack suitcase, hoping my clothes match when I get there and that I remembered pants. Having no pants is always a worry. 12.) sit down to computer to write 250 more words and remember to pick up two oldest kids from slumber party. 13.) mumble more curses when I realize pick up location is an hour away and not at the same place I dropped them off. 14.) get lost in the city. Even with a GPS. Cause thats how I roll. 15.) two and a half hours round trip later I make it back home and to my computer. 16.) small people want to eat again. They need to get jobs and/or marry very soon. 17.) realize its 10:00 and I have 4000 more words to write before I can go to bed. 18.) play a round of candy crush and tell myself Im letting my mind get back in focus from hectic day. 19.) wake up at 11:30 and scream as small faces are just standing there staring at me for no reason. I tell them to go to bed. And no they cant have pudding at 11:30. 20.) get back to computer at midnight, get rest of words done sometime before 4am and wonder the whole time if any of the words make sense. 21.) fall asleep with computer in my lap and wake up at 6am to start over again, realizing Ive typed twelve pages of the letter z while sleeping.
