Sometimes Random is a good thing

Oh so random.
This week has been a week that I really could have done without.  You know those kinds where a few things were worth it, but in general it stunk!

I have begun writing daily again. For those of you who don't know I have been writing my first book for 2 years now and I have decided that that amount of time to write a book is not acceptable.  So with 108 pages down and averaging 5 to 10 pages a night its coming together.  Cause lets face it there is no way you can write a steamy romance scene when your 5 year old little girl is saying 'Mommy can I have a drink'  or 'Mommy can you set up the Wii for me.'  So I wait and wait and wait till all is quiet in the house and then I get to it.  Put pen to paper so to speak.
So wish me luck, say a prayer or two that all goes well for me because I might, just might get my work published and I have to say that would be a dream come true.

Also before I forget I have to tell you I have lost a total of 32 pounds since August.  I have been doing the no emotional eating thing and still eating anything and everything I want, just not when I am happy, say, angry or any other emotion I might be experiencing at the moment.  I eat when I am hungry, I  know crazy right!  ha ha. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
God is love~ Jessica

Ticker Tape

So last we talked I was going to go to work on my mauscript for my book. I got the house all clean, made dinner, Gena was ready for bed and when my husband came home, off I went to Panera to get my 800 words I had left to do for the day.

I got there and treated myself to a soda:Pepsi, cause they don't have coke products. Because if you didnt know, I am so a Coke a cola girl.

So like I said 800 words and 2 1/2 hours to get them done. 8:30 rolled around and it was time to leave to go back home. And how many words did I have done? 50! That is it!!!!! I think somewhere there must have been one of the tickers that goes arcoss the bottom of your tv screen that said "Jessica is writing her book, CALL HER NOW!" because I am telling you EVERYONE called me and texted me! There was only 1 person I called. Oh well next week I guess I will have 1800 words to complete instead of 1000. Argh, the pirate will come out again come monday.

Oh and dont forget Friday is tomorrow!!!!!! Its Friday eve people. :) YEAH!

On an end note :I have been working all week until 530 and I have not been able to spend quality time with my little one. I think this weekend will do us good. Gena has a birthday party Saturday and then its off to the zoo on Sunday. So I look forward to just being with her :)

Hot Poker

You know when you have those kind of days where you are so excited to have a calm day. I think I am having one of those. Think is the word be cause its only 1:47pm and I still have the afternoon to go.

Okay so I don't know if any of you have read my first blog on my site. But I am attempting to write my first historical romance. It is coming along a lot slower that I hoped it would. But I am optimistic. As I write today's blog I am actually in the midst of writing another chapter. I have been praying and praying that God gives me the UMPF to get this thing in gear. Well I think he is because I feel like I sat on a hot poker and need to jump up. I am so pumped up about my book that things are just coming to me. YEAH ME! (Borrowed from London Tipton, Suite Life of Zach and Cody)

I don't have to be back to work till 3pm and I left my sweet child there to get her nap so it is QUIET! That and the fact that she doesnt get a gummy bear (only the kids that behave get one) today because I guess she found it in herself to spank a child. I write this trying not to laugh cause if she spanked them maybe they needed it hahaha. We very, very, very rarely spank, we do that privilege ladder instead. So like I said if she did it maybe they needed it. Maybe not, she is only 5 and sometimes the loss of a toy can spark a kid to do unrulely things.

The pug is asleep and the only noise is my fingers hitting the keyboard. So I guess I better go write while I have it in me.~Jess

July is here.

Okay so I am feeling better! Nothing a little antibiotic couldn't help :) I slept all night long before I knew it I had slept a full 6 hours without even waking. That was so awesome. I was in the middle of prayer last night when the little words came to me you forgot to write the rent check out. Thank you God for keeping me from a $50 late fee :) God is so good.

Woke up this morning to my sweet, persistent child asking to play the wii. Well of coarse I said yes I was asleep, then when I finally got my eyes opened I realized she wasn't on level 9 on her privilege ladder to have games. So there that went. Now she is back to pestering the dog. Poor Milo. No wonder he has little white hairs on his face at 2 years old.

I can not wait to get back to writing in my book today. My lovely husband gets off work today at noon so I am hoping he can keep the little one occupied while I work on another chapter.

I think I will finish off my morning drinking a cup of coffee, reading more of Jane Austen ruined my life, great book. ~Jessica
