Last week was a busy week. My mom stayed down in Louisiana to help my grandparents, so I was in essence surrogate mom for the week (on top of teaching piano/violin and other typical week responsibilities). It was a great week–just not one for writing.

Many things seem to be coming at me as a whirlwind, so one day, I just went to the park, walked for about an hour, and called a friend that I hadn’t talked to for a few months.

It was my first time at this park, and I think I’m going to definitely be revisiting!

To conclude the week, we had our homeschool tea party. This year was a vintage/retro picnic theme. I had the joy of being photographer for the event, and decided on a fun editing style–kind of bringing back the “old picture” thought.

And then, behind all of that, was writing. Writing last week was hit and miss–and more miss than hit. One thing I did write was a post for blogger Jessica–“A Day in My Life” (visit Jessica’s blog)–which was kind of a crazy abnormal day (which… is about every day). It is an interesting thought, though: what is a day in your life like? I’d love to hear!

I had hoped to add 1,000 words in my manuscript (“Protecting the Poor”). Instead, I got 849 (why didn’t I calculate that before-hand and write just one more? Anyone else do that?). And, no research for the week. In fact, I returned the library book that I was in the middle of reading, just because I don’t see much research time coming up soon. 😛

One last update, for those who don’t follow me on social media.

From Thursday:
