Weekend Wrap Up!

Well, we made it through the weekend and into another Monday. 

What the heck though? Why only two days off after working five? Who decided that and why don't we get a re-vote? I love cramming everything I didn't have time to do in the week into the precious forty-eight hours I'm supposed to have for rest and relaxation. When are we supposed to have fun? 

I think I need to retire. If only I could. 

Anyways. We did the grandkid things all weekend. Soccer was intense and so very cold. And insanity thanks to the other team changing the field and not telling anyone, which meant the entire team had to make a mad dash and drive another ten minutes. The ref sucked and the other team went out of their way to stomp on, push around, and attempt to knock my grandson down a peg. Too bad it didn't work. He still scored three of the four goals his team had and we won the game. But that one was rough.

Almost ready to put Prophecy up. I really have no idea what I'm doing and am relying heavily on my seasoned friends. I will figure it out and be a pro at it soon though. 

I need sleep. The last time I looked at the clock last night it was 2:46am. I just could not sleep. I got up and roamed the house at one point, but that was counterproductive because it was cold. I don't know... I just hope tonight is better.  And that explains why I seem a little cranky. Ha! 

The sun is out though. That's something. The weather this weekend sucked. 

That's all I have. 

Behave! 

Cover Reveal!!

Here's the new cover for Prophecy! I hope to have this up and available by the end of this week!

Twelve years after a devastating flu that eliminated much of the world’s population, the human race is trying to survive while living a much simpler life. Gabriella is a midwife and a demon hunter. She helps bring new life into the world, while doing her best to prevent evil from growing. Only there seems to be much more evil lately, and far less new life. Something big is happening and she may be the only one who can stop it. 
 
Jack is an angel in a human vessel sent to protect and assist Gabby in solving the puzzle of good and evil she faces. It should be a simple assignment, but he doesn’t count on the emotions he now must deal with, or the attraction he feels. He faces exile if he oversteps his moral boundaries, but when he realizes his love for Gabby, he wonders if falling from grace because of her is so bad.

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

We made it! And the weather isn't terrible despite the threat of rain later! 

Let's get to the list:

1. Looking forward to the weekend despite the crazy it will be. 

2. We're on grandkid duty this weekend. There's soccer and who knows what else. Unfortunately, it means we'll likely miss our friends from the left coast, which is super sad since we haven't seen them in ages. If we can swing it, we will, but it's not looking good at this point. 

3. Probably some extra sleep but we'll see what happens. Sleeping hasn't been the greatest in our house this week so some extended time would be appreciated. 

4. My lil baby plants looking good. Even though I know they aren't what I bought. I just hope they're pretty. 

5. Grandkids. 

We're at the very beginning of our time chaos. I'll do my best to post--especially when Prophecy is available--but forgive me if I disappear for longer than normal. 

Oh...also. If you got Life After on Kindle Unlimited, just a reminder that I only get paid if you read it. I mean if you started it and think it sucks, then fine. 

That is all...

Behave! 

Late Week Check In...

We survived the cold snap! Our patio looked interesting with sheets, tipped over trash cans, and a small heater, but the plants survived and look no worse for wear. I'm eager to get new plants now that we're (hopefully) done with the cold. 

Prophecy is coming soon! I have my cover and I love it! I hope to have it uploaded by this time next week at the latest! I'll share a sneak peek at the cover within the next few days! I'm pretty sure I know which one is going up next but it's going to be a few weeks until I get that far. 

The day job has been crazy town! Hopefully things settle down soon. But then again, I usually don't know what to do with myself when things are calm, so there's that. Ha! 

And that's about it...

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up

Oh Sunday... Why do you have to show up so fast and make me so sad?

We still have hours left of today so I'm trying not to be too sad. And it's been a pretty good weekend so far. 

I got through the rest of Prophecy this morning. Just waiting for a little help from my friends to get it the rest of the way ready. I am grateful for their help and hate to take them away from their own work. 

Yesterday was the replenishment of supplies, organizing, and soccer. B's team won their second game and have now moved up in their bracket. It was an epic game and B scored six goals! 

We ran pretty much all day and by the time dinner was done, I was dealing with a massive headache that wouldn't respond to meds. So I went to bed about 2+ hours early and slept until six this morning. So I guess I'd call that sleeping in. 

Not looking forward to this cold front coming through. I already brought my baby plants in and will have to figure out how to protect the plants that are already loving being outside. Maybe the forecast will change? I don't know. 

And that's all I have for now...

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

We made it!

This week has had its ups and downs. 

Here's the list: 

1. Today being an absolutely gorgeous day! It's the perfect temperature and the sun is glorious. While I appreciate the last two days of sun, it was too hot too soon. We don't have our air conditioning in yet (because why? It's going to get cooler and I prefer natural air when it's not stifling outside) and sleeping was not good. But we'll have a few days without dying from heat exhaustion coming up. 

2. Sleeping in tomorrow. Yeah, I say that every week. 

3. Working on Prophecy and making progress. 

4. Dinners out. We took J out for her birthday (that was last month...but time...) and we had a blast. 

5. Retirement luncheons at the day job that I didn't have to prep and plan for. 

6. My plants coming up. I planted from seed and I'm sure they're going to be weeds because none of the shoots look the same. I impulse bought what were supposed to be really cool plants and I know I was scammed. Hopefully something pretty at least comes up. We'll see. 

7. K3 coming over to hang out on my birthday. K4 made an awesome dinner and deep cleaned the kitchen. We chilled, watched our favorite cooking show, and talked a lot. 

8. Lighter weekend plans. Though there's still a ton of stuff on our list to take care of. 

That is all...

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up!

I am so not ready for tomorrow to be Monday! There's so much more I want to do before I have to sit behind my desk!

Anyway... Let's hit the list:

1. Fabulous weekend with the older grands. Picked up K5, went to dinner, then home to watch the astronauts splash down and then a movie. B arrived early Saturday and the two of them proceeded to crack us up and create chaos until not too long ago. 

2. The plants are outside and my office is clean. 

3. We planted some flowers, the grass was cut (by K5), laundry done...well, laundry done twice since some stupid cat decided to pee in B's bag. Gross. But we caught it before the smell had a chance to become permanent. 

4. B's soccer game yesterday. An hour away. On windy roads. They won. B is so freaking fast it always stuns me. 

A funny aside...I bought this gallon-sized insulated jug. It's awesome and keeps ice cold for days. I filled it, and we took it along. And then I discovered that the water tasted really bad--like fake grapes or something? I asked the kids if they'd put one of their drink packets in it but neither did. Then I realized I'd been so distracted in filling it up that I didn't even rinse it out first. I dumped it (pissed about the ice waste) and found a rag. Yeah. I'd stuffed it inside to make sure it was dry and didn't take it out. So yeah...

5. The grands being appreciative for receiving payment for their services and being more than willing to help with whatever we asked. They got plenty of time for goofing off too...which they did...with great skill. Ha! 

6. Not a lot of sleeping in this weekend. A little each day, but considering we were in bed late both nights... But at least it was good sleeping weather. 

7. Having a tiny birthday celebration with the grands. K5 made shortcake and cut up strawberries. I got some presents (chicken pj pants! Awesome!) and it was good. 

8. Deciding what I'm putting out on the 'zon next and getting through two chapters of proofreading. Surprised me because I am so wore out. But yay! I figured since the next few months are on the insane side, I'll work through my previously published stuff and get it back out. Then work on the new stuff. It gives me time and purpose and I won't feel crappy because writing time sucks. 

And there you have it!

Behave!
