YAY! My older children went back to school this morning. The house is so quiet right now. My toddler is watching her favorite morning cartoon, the dog is in his room, the laundry is washing, and I just finished vaccuming... and it's only 8:30am. I still need to clean the kitchen up, but I'll do that in a few minutes. Today is starting out to be a great, productive day!
I will work on my book edits all week and hopefully be close to finished by the end of the week. Then, I'll have to go through it again. LOL!
I also need to get my daily workout done, sometime this morning. It makes me feel good afterwards, but I still end up having to force myself to do it. You'd think that after almost three years of active weight loss, I'd be used to the exercising part. Oh well, maybe one of these days. LOL!
O, I'm outta here. I wish you a happy Monday and I hope that you have great success in this first, full week of 2008!

Thursday Thirteen
Well, I thought that I'd instigate some new things on my blog for 2008. I've seen a lot of people doing themes on different days of the week and I really liked the Thursday Thirteen. So I thought I'd try it out and see if I can come up with 13 things about myself to share each week. Here's the first thirteen, and they took me a while to come up with. LOL!
1. I like to watch soap operas, but only the ones on CBS.
2. I speed when I drive... ALWAYS. LOL
3. I like to listen to my music as loud as I can... especially while driving.
4. I love the Sci-Fi channel.
5. I hate talking on the phone.
6. I usually love movies that other people hate.
7. I have blue eyes, as do all three of my daughters.
8. I don't like Facebook, even though I have a page there.
9. I curse and scream at idiot drivers.
10. A certain middle finger gets used toward idiot drivers.
11. I would never want to be 16 again... NEVER!
12. I got married at the age of 17 and had my first child at 19.
13. I should be working on my book.
So there you have it, thirteen things about me. Now let's see if I'll be able to come up with thirteen more next week. LOL!

Back to work...
Well, it's the 2nd day of January and that means that it's time to get back to work for many people all across the country. My poor husband had to go back to work at 4:30am this morning, after not going to bed until 12:20 last night because he was watching a football game. I better not hear one smidgen of whining when he gets home because he's tired. He'll receive absolutely no sympathy from me. LOL!
I had to get back to work today, also. I sent out my January newsletter this morning and I cleaned the house more than it had been cleaned in the last few weeks. I'm still working on edits for the new book and looking for just the right ending... I am getting close to that ending though.
The next two books are just screaming for me to start writing them, but I just can't until I'm finished with A Birth at Dawn -- that's just how I am. I HAVE to finish one project before I start on another one (or two), but that doesn't stop the urge for more from creeping into my thoughts late at night. Once a story wants to be written there just isn't much you can do to deny its existance. It requires your time, attention, and nourishment until you've given your all, and then it's sitting in front of you asking to be edited while the next book is in the back of you rmind screaming to be released. Then the neverending cycle begins again.
I love my books and I love that the ideas come so easily right now, but it sure would be nice if I could come up with some article ideas these days. I haven't written one article since October. Yes, I spent the month of November writing a book and then I took December off to just BE, but it's January now and still the only thing on my mind is family and all the things I NEED to be doing. LOL. Oh well, maybe next month!
Well, when I logged into my Blogger account, I didn't know what this entry would be about. Seems like it took on a life of its own and now I sit here with a completed blog post for today. YAY! Now I'm off to get a little housework done, wait on the hubby to come home from work, and then deal with dinner. Luckily the older two girls went to spend the night with my mom and the baby will go to bed at 7pm. Should make for a quiet evening once the hubby falls asleep on the couch from exhaustion. LOL!
I hope that everyone is staying warm and didn't have to work too hard today. Have a nice Hump Day!
