As expected....

I am a bit on the wobbly end today. Well it started yesterday evening. The day had went nicely. I had made some amazing changes to my novel, finally congratulated my old friend on her baby and enjoyed a nice quiet day with the children mostly getting along and watching movies since it was raining out.

Then the evening hit...

I started to get feedback on the book. The kind of feedback I had been waiting for. The kind of feedback I wanted! People were finally pointing out what was wrong. Just as I had feared/predicted, the book has a slow start. Not too big of a deal seeing as I had spent all day HOPEFULLY correcting the problem, but still...it wasn't positive and I could not help but be disappointed.

The kids started to become unruly. Staying inside had become boring and they were becoming hyper. Hunger was consuming them a bit early and dinner was being demanded. All the while mommy was slowly unraveling. Didn't these kids know I was busy!?! Didn't they know I had just been disappointed!?! How inconsiderate of them.

And the mood stuck...

We ate, we went to the gym, I exercised and felt wonderful, but the mood stuck...

I woke up feeling anything but refreshed as I had been woken at least 5 times since 4am. Don't these people know I just ran a mile, played a 1/2 hour of tennis, biked for 8 minutes then spent an hour in the pool? Can't they see I'm tired!!! The mood still lingered...

And NOW...now my children are arguing, my new changes to the first chapter are still lacking. I'm tired and the mood is intensifying!!!

Can somebody please just like my book, take my kids away and take me out to Olive Garden for some Soup, Salad and Bread Sticks please????
