First! An announcement. The new trailer for Take Me I’m Yours is ready and available for viewing! The embedded trailer will follow at the end of this post.

What a draining week. I’ve been so busy trying to get caught up that it’s already Friday and I’m looking at the aftermath in my house. I need to get by the bank today and the store for envelopes. I still have those thank you cards to get in the mail. But I have Birthday #3 out of the way this month (and I’m going to ignore my upcoming birthday…) so I think I can finally get back on track with the more important things.

Next week is the last week of school. The kid is having End-Of-Year-Itis that’s for sure. Yesterday the school nurse called me because he had been in the clinic for about 15 mins (I hadn’t even finished my first cup of coffee for crying out loud) complaining of a stomach ache. I had to leave work to go pick him up. He had an upset stomach and some bad allergies so I got him some meds and took him to his grandparents for the day. He immediately curled up on Grandma’s lap. By the time I got there to pick him up he was all better. Uh huh.

I’m sure he really didn’t feel good - we had a little “accident” if you will in the morning which was NOT FUN. Kids really are gross sometimes. When they’re small, it’s forgiveable. But when they know better, it’s not.

And lately bedtime has been a big chore. He doesn’t want to get to sleep when he’s supposed to. He’s up and down a lot. This is a new bad habit and it drives me up the wall.

But anyway… got some news yesterday too that wasn’t surprising but still kind of sad. It’s going to be an interesting next few weeks.

I didn’t feel like cooking last night either. I had some paperwork to catch up on for the chapter, checks to write, laundry to do, litter box to clean (I got some new litter that’s “all natrual” so we’ll see how that works out). I was a bad Mom and cooked a frozen pizza. Then we had cookies. I sat outside for a bit to enjor the nice weather and chatted on the phone to Man (he’s working late) and then put the kid int he tub and in the bed.

By the I was exhausted. All the events of the last week or so have finally caught up to me so I called it a night and turned in. Sometimes you have to do that every now and then.

I did get some other writing-related stuff done which was good. Still tweaking the manuscript, synopsis and letter. I’m getting closer to taking that plunge…

This weekend we’re going to the movies, just me and the kid. I’m really looking forward to it. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and I’ll catch ya here later. I might get the bug and blog this weekend.

Happy Friday! Oh and enjoy the trailer.

A huge thanks to everyone who came  over to the blog yesterday for Misty’s Fashionista post. It was great fun. Winner of the ebook will be announced later today.

My good friend across the pond, Colin Galbraith, has a new release coming! And to celebrate, he has this awesomey awesome book trailer for his book, Stella, from Eternal Press. Check it:

I don’t know about you… but that ROCKS. Congrats, Col, in your coming release!

In other news… work, work, work on chapter business. The contest is looming, the luncheon is nearly here and I am one busy bee with everything. I have my hands full. Got the agenda done for the luncheon and the agenda done for the meeting on Saturday. There are updates to the website that need to be done, web copy to write, announcements to send out. I make lots and lots of lists. I use OneNote like crazy to keep my email from overflowing.

And yes, I’m still editing Phoenix. But sometimes, there just aren’t enough hours in the day! That superhero book is still in my head so I caved and wrote the first pargraph. I had to, you see, becuase it was nagging me. And I didn’t want to loose it so I jotted it down really fast. But, of course, it’s still nagging me. I’m telling those characters to SHUT.UP. becuase I have a book to polish and prepare for submission so GO AWAY you pesky characters, you! Back, I say! Back! To help with the nagging, I found an entire Glenn Miller album with Big Band music that will be the soundtrack of the beginning of that book. In The Mood will be on it as well as Benny Goodman’s Sing, Sing Sing and Wang Wang Blues. I just love Big Band music.

Man says I don’t need to fill every second of every day and I need to learn to relax (I’m a Gemini; I can’t help it). You know what? I think he might be right… that’s why I’m looking forward to Spring Break next week. I’m taking three days off from work, picking up my nephew from East Texas and taking the boys out and about for some fun. Good times. Actually, a spa weekend was more what I had in mind for relaxing, but this will do. And it’s cheaper.

Time for school/work. Busy weekend ahead. And I still need more hours in the day.
