The Life and Times of a Romance Writing Mama!




The manuscript I need to finish..nada. I haven't even touched it. I'm not sure what's wrong here. I'm just not motivated to work on it. Frankly, it's been two years and I am sick of these characters. Katie and Jack...big pains in the butt right about now. But hopefully that will change.
Now, on to the gimpy leg....about twenty years ago (Lord, does that make me sound old!) I was in a terrible car accident. I demolished a metal dashboard with my knee. I had two surgeries to repair the damage and remove debri and still I had a swollen throbbing mess for the past twenty years. Lately my knee has been giving out and I just fall down. I swear you would think I was plastered! I've fell down the stairs twice. So anywho, I go to the emergency, because my Dr. will not refer me to a ortho. Well, I have a massive blot clot on my leg. "Well Ms. Waits, I'm surprised you can even walk and I've even more surprised you're alive. Complete bedrest until you see the surgeon."
Huh?
I'm a single mom. Bed rest? No climbing stairs? what the hell is that? So, here I am sleeping on my couch, with my kids sleeping on the floor because they refuse to go upstairs and sleep without me. And to top it all off the kids have a cold w/fever and have been home from school!
Fun! Fun!
And my wonderful job. They made the decision for me. "All I can say is you have really disappointed us. We expected more from you. How could you just leave us like this? Well, I hope you don't ecpect us to hold a postion for you."
And I hate to be stuck. Not able to walk around, drive my car, go to the bank, store, Starbucks! My body is screaming for a gingerbread latte! Soooo yummy!
Tomorow better news!
Later taters,
