That a narcissistic, fledgling writer like myself hasn't posted for a month should tell you something. It all started when I declared to my family that I wasn't going to cook anything more ambitious than a corndog until June 15th. I could see the trainwreck that was going to be my schedule from far off in the distance, so I decided to pre-empt what I could. And nutritious dinners were the first casualties...
Or, if corndogs are confusing, one could think of my schedule/life/demands in terms of one of my favorite TV shows, 30 Days. It's been a surreal experience that would be worthy of its own reality show credits. I will try my best to set the past 30 days to poetry or music. Hmmmm. Perhaps Paralyzer - Finger Eleven? Ew. Tried that. It won't work.
Looks like bulletpoints:
Homeschool faire
(that was scary)

Kid parties

End of year party planning (TX style)

There was not a single DAY that wasn't filled in on my calendar!!! Ugh!!! I know some of you thrive on that and others of you are just accustomed to that. Me? Not so much. Did I mention the part where Jon was gone for 75% of this?
Anyway...there are some funny details that I can't post on the site; but if you want to email me for a good laugh, feel free.
