Sunday

It's Sunday and I am still recovering from my surprise visits of two daughters and a son yesterday and all of their families. It was quite a day and I am exhausted and tired. Then I talked to my youngest daughter Melissa today for a while and she thinks I need to put my big girl panties on and deal with it since I was whinning about being too tired to write she just didn't want to hear it today. It could be because she has a lot of other things on her mind like homework, her job, her son and the fact she is getting married next month. A lot on her plate but still.....she is also twenty seven years younger than her mother and up where she is at she only has one sister to worry about which means she doesn't see how family visits can tire a person out. I know I know....I AM WHINNING but blast it all I am tired....and the creative process is very tiring and takes it's own time to gestate. It doesn't help that I am in the middle of the book and that this is the time you really have to pace yourself without drawing the book out and making the book boring. I am on a deadline with her and this book and she is taking no prisoners she thinks because all the kids have left home and it looks like my life had free time that I actually have free time. Don't worry she'll be my age one day realize that what things look like are not the way they really are. I don't waste a lot of time I happen to have a chronic illiness that takes up hours out of my day most days especially in the winter and spring. But I'll forge ahead and we'll see where I'm at April 15th. Right now I have to spend the day seeing exactly how many pages I have left to write. I do know I can't count on weekends anymore to write so I need to factor all of that in today.
I keep telling her that it's the visits which include grandchildren whom I adore, the cooking, the cleaning, the spending two days trying to catch up from all the unexpected visits which are now turning into expected visits. Anyway I am off to see what is going on with my book. But I just had to pop in and whine a bit I know anyone from the age of 40-70 will know what I am talking about I can usually keep up but lately I am tired and life keeps getting in the way of my writing.......
