Monday, March 19, 2007Spring BreakA ridiculous term for a homeschooling family, really, since we're not on any sort of "school district schedule." But since the girls have the week off from ballet, and Jonathan doesn't have his Physics class -- well, why not? And, oh baby, am I ready for it. I'll be dragging loads of "stuff" to Good Will, spring cleaning my laundry room, enjoying free time with my chickens, and WRITING. Ah, the joy of writing without having to worry about the responsibilities of homeschooling. Words cannot express! I'm currently working on a new project -- a rhyming children's book. I needed a mental break from Book Two, and this is something I've been tossing around in my skull for the past few weeks. It's fun, it's different, and it's a wonderful little gem of a project to work on during spring break. Yes indeed. Eric and Jonathan are flying out to Arizona on Wednesday, so the house will be quieter and the food will last longer. The thought of one pan of baked macaroni and cheese actually stretching to two full meals is pretty...exciting. Not to be cavalier about the trip, though. I will miss my Big Man and my Not-So-Little Man while they're gone. I love that they're spending dad/son time together, but I hate that they're leaving. Everything feels wrong when one of them isn't here. Well, that's me for today. If I'm not around much this week, you'll know why. |

5of my readers are feeling chatty:
Arizona??? Where???
Anywhere near Phoenix or Mesa??
Maybe we could do lunch!
Our spring break is over, but in a couple weeks, my son is coming down from Utah for his spring break. He will be here for 3 days.
We would LOVE to have them to dinner if they're in our neck of the woods! How fun would that be!
Oh good luck o nthat book it sounds like fun!
And seeing as there will be more food.. can I join in on that macaroni & cheese pan?
To answer your question, I moved down here september 2005 to study, and I love it here! But as you say, Norway is home and it will always be. And I can't believe I am almost done with my second year here already!
Ooh! What fun!
Need an illustrator? :-D
Have a great break and...Happy spring!
I am an author of two rhyming books myself.

Not that they got published or anything. Doh! However, I did get some really nice rejection letters. LOL!
