Last week was a bust, what with Tim off work and the kids being home for summer break.  Everyone was here and no one wanted to get along.  There was more than one occasion where I threw my hands up in the air and declared an end to my day.  Yep, it wasn't pleasant.

This week Tim goes back to work and the fighting between the children seems to have slowed down.  Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to get some actual work completed.  At least I have a list showing me what all I want to complete this week.

That's not to say nothing was finished last week.  Oh no, there was definitely a good bit marked off my list.  However, most of that was household stuff and not book stuff.  Yeah, I'm happy about the household stuff, but I'd rather have the peace, quiet and alone time to complete my book stuff.  I get frustrated when my writing time decreases.

So, here I am, typing up my plans for the week for all to see.

• Complete edits on a three book project
• Discuss the new cover for Alex & Fiona Forever with my beloved designer
• Work on Liz Baker, book 3--which is still untitled.
• Remind everyone that TIME FOR DEATH (Liz Baker, book 1) is still on sale for only $0.99 on Kindle and Nook.
• Continue working on the list of goodies I need to order for the Book 'Em NC event in February
• Take my children to the library on Friday
• Finish reading DEAD IF I DO by Tate Hallaway so I can take it back to the library
• And still be the perfect wife & mother with a clean house, clean laundry and three meals a day on the table.

Whew!  That's a lot to do in only 7 days.  Well, I guess it's technically 6 days since today's Tuesday.  It's no damn wonder I never feel like there's enough hours in the day.  And here I am distracted from all this proposed work with wondering what color to paint my nails next.
