A Brave Writer's Life in Brief

Thoughts from my home to yours

I’m still here and still writing

Homeschool and business have called. My post about how I do it all is in the works. It occurs to me, though, that part of how I “do it all” (almost, as I like to say) is that I do put aside those things that compete with what matters when I have to. Today, that may wind up being this blog. My kids are up and I’ve got to attend to tutoring appointments, a dog with a bandaged foot who needs to pee and take his meds, and I just returned from taking my husband to the airport. So.

In the spirit of honoring my own priority system (which I’ll share in that post), I need to ask your patience for when I get it finished. Thanks. 🙂

    Julie,

    You may not even need to blog about how you almost do everything! Just waiting for your thoughts is enough of a lesson and makes me feel much better.

    I think you’re right! I’ve been laughing at the whole thing – here I was asked to write about it and at the very moment I planned to, all h-e-double toothpicks broke out in my life!
