I love lazy Saturdays. The chance to sleep in, make a big breakfast, snuggle up in our movie theater with Jon and the kids and just spend the afternoon watching movies. There is no place I'd rather be!!!
This morning I had a chance to sit at the computer and just write for a couple hours. It's so rare that I can find opportunities through out the day to just sit and write. Sometimes I fear my book will never get done and I'll just have a scattered mess of thoughts sitting on my computer wasting away like a dream. Then, there are days like today when I feel like I actually made progress.
I was able to write about 5 pages today... woo hoo. I am feeling very accomplished :)I am now patting myself on the back!
Most of my writing dealt with my cleaning tiara. For those of you who know me you will know exactly what I am referring to. For those that don't... you'll just have to buy my book!
After I felt that my creative juices had been completely squeezed dry I did what I always do... read to Jonmy recent writing. It's funny how I can be so completely intimate with him and yet feel intimidated in this area. Jon and I hold nothing back from each other; we've always been that way. He's my best friend and my soul mate yet when I am reading him parts of my book I feel so vulnerable. Maybe it's because I have so much respect for him that his opinion to me far outweighs anything else and I am scared that maybe he won't like what I am reading. Every time I read to him I feel naked and unsure. I'm blessed though because he always proves me wrong...he is always so supportive, complimenting, and loving. what am I fearing??? I guess it's just immaturity on my part.
He did make fun of me a little today. Referring to my writing today and the topic of a clean home...He said I was the only woman in America who has a housekeeper and still cleans for hours a day. I think he actually made a reference to OCD.
Is there something wrong for liking a clean and organized home??? I think NOT!!! Maybe I should just let it get a little messy so that he can be a little more appreciative for what he has ;)
It's 6:12pm my time... Jon is off at a men's meeting at the church. The kids are getting hungry and want to go out. Sounds good to me. No cooking and no dishes. Sounds like a win win situation for me.
