shoes, because I didn't have anything else to call it

This post has nothing at all to do with shoes.

At all.

But Mr. Kaos is so steadfast in his conviction that "Shoes" is an excellent title that I thought I would take it for a test drive. Feel it out. See what I think.

So far I don't know if it is doing anything for me.

How about you?

I don't have any shoe porn if that's what you're looking for.

What I do have is a... I mean... it's a kind of... Blah.

You know?

Are you shaking your head? Is that...? Do you know what I mean?

I am going to now tell you about my day and we will see if you get it okay?

I was once again, for the 3rd time this week, woken up by K at 5:30 am. Naturally I'm not happy about it at all but you know, daylight savings time ended and she was completely regulated to wake up at 6:30 and get ready for school.

So I'm tired.

I took her to school this morning, like I do every morning but there was a sense of the uncertain today since she is trying out full day. Not a big deal for every kid but a big deal to mine, and to me. I'm expecting it to go well. I think she's ready to give it a shot, but she doesn't know.

That hangs over my head. It makes me feel scattered and iffy.

But it also gives me a huge chunk of time to work on my novel today, something I haven't really had yet this week and won't have tomorrow or the next day or the next and so on.... Those days I have to just fit the time in somewhere. Today I have the time. It's mine.... I should use it. I should end this silly nonsense post here and open up my document and get typing. For the first time in writing it I have a road map for it, and that's exciting... but I've never been very good at reading maps.

See the blah? I think it's just me.

xoxo and off I go.

Oh I've got the blahs, too - but it isn't because of your blog. I thought shoes was good because I thought you'd gotten a new pair and I was all excited to see them!
K will do great today. As long as she doesn't need naps (and I know she doesn't), she'll be fine and she will probably love it!
Or I hope she does. :)
Now git writin'!

It must be the week or the moon or the damn time change - Zack's up at 5 am now. Singing. Chatty. I can barely hack it.

Here's to a good day of writing.

mmmm... shoes...

the title totally makes me happy. I agree with Mr. Kaos... in fact, we should call everything shoes. except the bad things... we should call bad things brussels sprouts.

Cami I have been neglecting you. Mad busy times, head colds, and Bert, but none of them are really good excuses.
Hope K was fine. Hope you were fine, and I so get what you mean withBert. I I have a whole three or four hours ahead of me to write, (It's only happened once), I just feel a this dread and pressure. How weird is that. But if I start about 9pm I just seem to get my head down and get on with it. I've been doing kind of a pattern of 3 Bert blasts of about 1500 a time, then a 3000 humdinger 2.00am special, then a night off, and it's working ok ish. Tonight wil be a night off as it's Mr B's gig (hooray), but otherwise I'm plodding. I'm not sure how long I can keep it up though. My house is a sty, my kids are running out of clothes, I'm soooo behind on my blog reading and my head is killing me.

Bugger. I'm just adding to the blahs aren't I?

Shoes is a good title though. Just saying the word makes me feel all calm. x
