No. At least not by my standards. More like lazy. Our house is up for sale… not sure why. I’ve just kind of hit a lull lately. Don’t really feel like doing a lot. BUT, I was able to listen to Janice Kapp Perry speak this last Saturday. Anybody know who she is? She’s a great (and I mean GREAT!) musical genius. She has written a lot of the LDS primary songs for children for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and many more songs. Including one about her family that she sang for us on Saturday. So cute! I had it in my head throughout the rest of the weekend.

Anyway, my point in sharing about her was this- she encouraged us to choose something that we really want to do, and do it! Take baby steps towards it, each day, or at least each week or month… and make it happen.

I haven’t given up on getting my books published. I’ve just kind of “pushed it aside.” Like I’ve mentioned before, I feel like being a Mom is the most important thing I will ever do- and I’m in the full swing of that currently. I have a 4 1/2 year old, and almost 3 year old and a (VERY BUSY) 1 year old. Observe:

Yes, I knew he was up here… and yes I was watching him very closely. But- he does like to try to repeat this activity frequently, sometimes when I’m not aware of it!

As you can see…. I’m a busy lady. But, after hearing Janice’s advice, I came home that day, and found myself with a quiet afternoon… 2 boys sleeping and one at a birthday party. So, I opened up my children’s book, “Dear Grandma” and did some more editing. I know it’s ready to send in, well at least it’s nearly ready. I feel like I should edit it a few more times… or something. But I’m going to do it. And if I get rejected… I’m going to do it again!

My husband, Mr. Fabulous (Is that his name on here?) (Maybe it’s terrific, or wonderful or amazing… he fits them all.) Anyway, he thinks I should stick with my novel. I told him my novel is crappy! Is that too harsh? I just got stuck at a dead end and don’t know where to take it from there…. so I stopped. And don’t really want to start again. I lost all inspiration for the novel!

Children’s books is where my heart lies anyway….

Well, what do you think? Or have I waited too long between posts that nobody even reads this blog anymore?
