So wow...almost a year since I was "going to write all the time" in my blog. Well, that didn't happen (obviously). It's been a year of flux and changing my entire life around.

In March we had to make the decision for me to become a full-time-stay-at-home mom. I hadn't been able to obtain employment - an average of an interview a month, but no job. EI was running out, and daycare was $1400/month so we talked about it and decided I'd stay at home.  So notice was given to the daycare and as of May 1st of this year I've been at home.

Luckily during this transition (mostly since August) I have:

So I have kept busy. During May - August, little monkey and I were outside A LOT enjoying the summer and then he began school. Being home I can walk him to school and pick him up each day (it's amazing the amount of time they AREN'T in school!). So I do really count myself lucky. I am the co-volunteer coordinator at his school as well, so I help the volunteers and I volunteer myself. It keeps me active with his school and getting to know the teachers, parents and kids - which is a wonderful thing.

I am enjoying doing some work for the authors and it brings in a little bit of income. I am thrilled being back teaching as I have truly missed it. Finally, becoming President of ARWA again and being able to represent such a fantastic group of writers and authors is so incredibly rewarding. 

Only, I'm not writing anything :(

Although, Sue Bergman from ARWA gave us a spectacular presentation to our members on Scrivener - so I have the program and intend on trying to find some time to write. Honestly, I will try.

In the meantime, I will cut myself some slack and continue doing what I'm doing.

Write On...
