Oh, the Drama!
Posted on August 18, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal |
What a busy few days I´ve had! Remember my cool magazine assignment? Well, they came back and asked me to do more. And me being me and always thinking I have more time than I do, I agreed to do 9 articles.
Nine. Truth be told, I didn´t have time to do them. Five, yes, six, perhaps. Nine? No way, Jose. But it didn´t stop there. Oh, no. One of the assignments that I chose to take on said “3-4 articles on . . .”, which I took to mean 3-4 short articles to make up one long one, since these are supposed to be between 1,500-2,000 words long. But no. They are to be 1,500 words EACH!
So, I was worried, but confident that with Irving looking after the boys, I could bust my hump and get it done.
Then came the real kicker. Irving had to work. Today. At 8 am. And he won´t be back until tomorrow afternoon. The articles are due sometime around 4 am my time, so that is absolutely no help.
You´d think I would learn after having this sort of thing happen every single time I take on a job!
(oh, did I mention that the boys are both sick, too. Just to make life a tad more exciting! :D) But it´s all good. I´m thrilled to be working, even if it means late nights and no sleep for a few days. Because the money I am earning from this job will pay for not only my terra cotta floor, but also a nice kitchen table and maybe, just maybe . . . a POPCORN MAKER!

Well, it would seem as though you are going to be a tad busy… What are you going write about? Can you scan the article and send it out (or post it?)?
I’ve been a little out of touch with the world this week. Didn’t want you to think I’d stopped coming by to check you out or anything! I hope you can get everything done in time. Sounds kinda crazy!
Bernie, I don´t know if they´d like me posting their magazine articles before they publish! I wrote articles on everything from the Hollywood Baby Boom to a comparasion of men´s razors and how 20 minutes of exercise a day can have astounding health benefits. Oh, and a couple on women´s health, as well!
Jessica, join the club! I´ve barely posted this week because it´s been so hectic around here. But now I´m done. The articles are sent, fingers crossed and I am going to bed!
I hope you manage to get all your work done!
