[QUOTE="hexemaus2, post: 389952, member: 4560"] Good morning ladies! Wow, how I've miss the good morning thread. :) Marg - G'day! Good thoughts for your daughter. Did you enjoy the Writer's Festival? I was suppose to go to a writer's retreat in NY back some months ago, but unfortunately got bogged down with work. Hope your pain is resolved soon so you can get back to typing and writing - I'd be lost if anything ever happened to my hands! SFR - Hope staying off that foot helps. Congrats on making strides with difficult child 2, even if he doesn't like it. :) Funny how our kids will listen to someone else, even though they're saying the same thing we are. It's shift change at our house again. It seems one of the two boys is forever staying up all night so that come morning, two of us are getting up as one goes to bed. It's a weird schedule, but it works for us. We run a 24 hour house here, which keeps the dogs happy. (There's always someone up to let them out or rub their bellies.) It also gives me a chance to spend the day with one difficult child or the other one-on-one, which is kind of nice. (Or company if I have to pull an all-nighter to meet a deadline.) We eat breakfast together, then someone's off to bed, then come dinner time we're all up again to share another meal together and enjoy some family time. (Wow - enjoying family time - now there's a really odd statement, coming from me. lol.) I have a bunch of writing work to get done this morning. I have some edits for one client, a deadline for another, and another deadline coming up tomorrow. I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year, so there's always that project to work on if I finish up paying work. Surprisingly, difficult child 2 is also doing NaNo this year (as well as easy child.) We have a little family competition going on to see who can hit the 50k mark first. I may challenge difficult child 2 to a word war this afternoon, as he's lagging behind - don't want to stifle his creativity too much his first year by having his self-esteem crushed too badly.

I hope everyone has a wonderfully cheerful morning. Gonna slurp down another cup of coffee and dive into work projects. Smile at least once today, if for no other reason than to make the difficult children wonder if you've lost your marbles.
