Oh, white lies I tell myself about writing. I've used the 'I won't read this new book until I've finished the book I'm writing.' That strategy has been an abysmal failure. Maggie's idea sounds like the ticket. A win-win situation. I've gotten NADA done on the back to school front. The kids are getting worried they'll be without pencils. I mean, come on now. We have pencils....at least I think we do. So, what was the question? Oh, white lies I tell myself about writing.

Luckily, I can recognize things that are Isabelle's style, but I can see that won't last much longer. She informed me the clothes her step-mother buys her are ugly so I will be taking her shopping when she gets back. Informed being the operative word there.

She is sooooo picky now. I really don't understand it either, she's never been too particular about what she wore. It's the whole teenage thing. I can see her turning into a completely different person right before my eyes. I kid you not I really think she's psychotic. We finally, finally after 5 hours found a pair of jeans she liked. We bought them, brought them home and she comes in my bedroom last night as I'm de-stressing from the day claiming they don't fit now! My DH had to restrain me from crawling across the bed and wrapping the jeans around her neck! I know I was a really neurotic teen, but I've apologized to my mom about 100 times already. I really don't think this continuous payback is very fair. I think the Big Man up there needs to pick someone else to screw with and stop having a chuckle at my expense.

I have to take mine when I get her back which is ONE WEEK before school starts. Good thing I've bought some stuff already. Forgot to say child birth was a breeze.

We went to the mall yesterday for about 6 hours shopping for school clothes for two pre-teens. Enuf said! I feel as if I need another day of rest. Next week it's back to 6:00 am to get the kids off to school, though. Okay, one of the big life lies I've been telling myself since the kids were little is that I'd worry about them less as they grew. Wrong! Just different worries. I guess my writing lie is that I'll actually sit down and write again someday. LOL Okay, all this talk of breakfast at 7 and lunch at 10 has me feeling guilty - I didn’t get up until 10:45.

Like Maggie, I'm such a pantser that I have to write a certain amount or I lose my groove in writing. When I'm editing, I'm much more looser and it tends to take me a bit longer to edit. But chocolate makes everything better. *g* I definitely have a word count that I hit every day when I’m writing a mss.

I would not have done well in the past (any time period). I'm too spoiled and way too opinionated. When I was a teenager my father told me to forget about joining the army or being a nun because I didn't take ridiculous rules or being told what to do very well! The lies I tell myself...hmmm. I'm sure there are many. Oops... I'll have to chime in later - just got a call from the DD asking to picked up from her babysitting job. I'll be back......
