We're settling into our new routine--if you can call it a routine already! After a week of not driving, I'm back to taking the kiddos to school successfully without arriving much later than we used to. (Most days we could not afford to, anyway!) So...we have work to do to get the kids there early enough to socialize with their friends before school but otherwise, I'm managing getting out of the house with three kids (so far)!
I've also made the insane choice to attempt Nano again this year. What makes me think I can reach 50,000 words this year if I could not last year? Limited time. Last year was the first year that my son was in school every day. It was half-day kindergarten but I finally had "free time" every morning. With Joshua's arrival, I have lost guaranteed free time again for the next few years but I'm hoping to use some of his naptimes to sit down and speed-write. That's the goal of Nano anyway, right? Just to write without stopping to edit or consider whether what your writing has any redeeming value. So if my fingers can ramble on during some naptimes and I can grab a nap myself during others, I'll be successful! (Shocked but successful!)
How many of my writing pals out there are doing Nano again this year? Good luck!

Needless to say I'm not attempting it, but I'm wishing you lots of luck! I know your plate is more than full right now. Good luck, but don't feel bad if you aren't able to get it done. You do have a new little one :)
I'm not doing NANO, but I'll be cheering you on. Every little moment counts. Write, write, write!
Thank you, thank you!
Today has been great so far so I'm guessing if I would just get off the internet, I could probably log a few words for Nano! Off I go!
