Why I Drive My Husband Nutty

Standard

This is what my hubby has to put up with people! When he plays poker I steer clear of that room, however, I virtually bug the hell out of him. Thank you Skype!

[8:56:44 PM] Ryan: (insert picture of tiny evil bear grinning in you mind….damn Skype for not letting those copy and paste!)

[8:57:26 PM](Stranglylucid): Sorry, I missed it.

[9:02:30 PM] Ryan: did you read it

[9:02:32 PM] Ryan: did you read it

[9:02:33 PM] Ryan: did you read it

Working the Weekend Away

Standard
Right now, as I spend Friday and Saturday hopped up on caffeine, sugar and anxiety, I wish I would have managed my time better this week.  The life of a freelancer is hard.
I did get my ENTIRE basement organized, all the drawers, closets and cabinets in my ENTIRE house organized, entertained my three kids and found several old pictures (like below), then scanned them in while I avoided getting my articles written.

Now should I blame this on my need for time pressure to write well? Or can I just blame it on my kids making me unfocused? LOL
Either way happy weekend, you’ll find me online for the next 48 hours!  : )
