Weekend Update

I feel like Dennis Miller. Remember Weekend Update on SNL — back in the day before I was too old to either stay awake for or enjoy the humor thereof? Yeah. Me, too. I picked our winners for TELL ME WHO I AM. They are Janna and Brittany. (It was random. Kid 2 did the

Busy, busy…

I’ve been subbing and finishing a book (written by Mr. Louis L’Amour, not by me) and helping a little with the high school play (Beauty and the Beast, and you so want to come see it) and doing house-ish stuff (the usual bread-y and clothing-ish and sweep-like stuff) and thinking about losing 15 pounds and

Wherein I uncover my *system*

Do you have a writing zone? An office? A cave? A favorite table in a favorite cafe? Do you have a preferred writing time? Are you a morning person? A night owl?

Patience

Once I had it. Then I lost it. Not forever, you know. But, temporarily lost it. Once I listened When they said, “Mom.mom.mom.mom.” Once I asked, “Can you tell me that again, so I really understand?” Once I wanted, really wanted to know about the day. The friends. The classes.

Rat Poison

Remember that last week I did school visits to the 7th and 8th grade honors kids? Remember that? They do. Maybe. But here’s something we talked about. Healthy literacy is like a healthy diet. To eat well, you need a blend of this and that. Lots of variety. Lots of color. Would it hurt you

Today, in Numbers

16: Inches of snow left in the “shady corner” of my front yard. 2: Daffodils ready to explode, any minute. 4: Kids home for Spring Break! 9: The hour I require them to be out of bed. 13: Tiny tomato plants growing in the egg carton beside my kitchen window. (Averaging 3 new ones a
