Because I requested of my twinnie lookslikelove...

First ten to comment get a short fic of their choosing (as long as I know who the characters you want are and feel capable of writing them). In exchange, you have to post something similar (offering fics or sketches or what have you) in your journal.

I'll offer fic OR graphics.

Today is going to be a long day, I can just tell. Nick woke up fairly early and is already a pistol. I swear, sometimes, I am just living for 5:30 when Princess comes home.

I hate that I feel like that, too. I get very annoyed with myself for feeling that way. I should be able to keep the house fairly clean, and keep the 3 year old entertained, all without getting too bored or annoyed myself. And yet, somedays, it just seems so CHALLENGING.

Nick and I spend a LOT of time together. During weekdays the only break I usually get is a few hours a few evenings a week, and 4 hours total, while he is in preschool. Many times I am busy working in some way for the preschool which keeps me from actually spending that free time being... free.

I am not really complaining. I totally love my life. I just wish I was better at finding ways for Nick and I to stay entertained and happy during the weekdays.

Last week we did cookies one day, and went shopping a few others. It was a very good week for entertaining Nick last week. This week should be interesting. We for sure will have another baking day, and I have a few small Christmas craft projects we can do together. We can always go to the library, or out to lunch. I just hate spending unnecessary money just to keep us busy. And TV is just not an option, IMHO. He gets to watch a half hour to forty-five a few times a week while I take a shower. That's about it.

I downloaded this app for Adobe AIR called "Focus Booster". It's supposed to help you with The Pomodoro method, which I don't use. However, I am just using it as a timer for internets stuff. I gave my 11 minutes to write this LJ entry. It would be going a lot better if Nick wasn't trying to have a conversation with me the whole time.

This must be why people have kids close in age, so they can play together and not drive you absolutely up the wall.

Hey, look at that, done just over 8 minutes. <3 ya flist.
