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 day, YIPEEEE!)
5: Exclamation points in this post. Am I possessed?
3: Flower beds I’ve weeded/cleared (while wearing a coat, all). Did I ever, ever weed last summer?
4: Great blog posts I’m considering poaching (I’m looking at you, Melanie J!)
9: Fruits and veggies on my Costco shopping list. Any chance I’ll come out of there spending less than $100? I didn’t think so.
0: Kids home tonight (Grandparent sleepover!) We’re eating Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes (like at Cheesecake Factory, but made here, with love. And butter.)
32, 416: Times in the past 48 hours that I’ve regretted teaching Kids 3 and 4 the theme song to “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.”
1: Plane tickets to purchase today (no for me – Kid 2 is going to DC this summer!)
1: Really cute Husband working in the next room, editing a film with some doggone jazzy music.
1000: Number of words per day I’ve averaged this week. Writing, that is. Reading? Many more.
6: Days till Kid 1 goes back to school and brings me home Mr. G’s copy of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.”
1: Song I need to learn in Spanish, then teach the family, in order for us to sing it in church on Sunday.
5: Days left until I need to be on school schedule again.
25: Percent written WIP.
1: New dress wanted (needed?) for Whitney Awards dinner. I think needed.
Definitely needed. What better excuse for a new dress is there going to be this year?
Your life sounds busy but happy!
Are you coming to the rest of the conference? I won’t be at the awards. Hope you win, though!
You are so incredibly clever! You’re sprouting tomato plants, now I’m really impressed and jealous!
My tomatoes are starting to grow in my window, too! Hooray! Love the list. And I’m so excited for you at the Whitney’s!
Woo hoo! I love the spring. Good luck at the Whitney’s! =)
