My "Writing Morning": 11/8/11

Today is a big election day for KY. As a result, I only work half a day and the kids are out of school all day. Thought it'd be a good morning to get some much needed (and really behind) Nano-writing completed.  So here's how it went...

Write a sentence... Coop: "Mom! he hit me!"  Me: *goes to break up fight*

Write a sentence.... Cal: "Mom, can I take a shower?"  Me: *goes to start shower*


Write three words...Cal: "Mom, we need more shampoo." Me: *groans and gets back up to get another bottle of shampoo from the cupboard*

Write two full dialogue lines. Coop: "MOM! He hit me... Cal: I have nothing to wear...Can I wear this shirt?...Coop: Do you want this race car paper? It's blank and you can use it to trace another race car but you don't get the full color race car because Caleb can have it. Hey Caleb did you know I drew this race car all by myself (Cal: no you didn't) Yes I did!"...  Me: *shakes head* and says "okay. now go away and let me write, please."

Write one word..."Mom can you brush my hair and also, when are we leaving 'cause I'm bored."

...And that folks, is why it takes me five years to finish a book. 

(picture is about 3 years old, but still accurately reflects my children)

Happy Tuesday, all!
