How can I be so busy and still seem like I get nothing done?

I'm supposed to be starting NaNoWriMo tomorrow. National Novel Writing Month, FYI. The goal is to write 50,000 words in a month. I've been toying with the idea of doing a fantasy type story (I don't want to say book, cuz although it is called NaNOVELWriMo, you really can't do a novel in 50,000 words and the main goal it to WRITE not necessarily write PERFECTLY), but after chatting with JediJenn (Hmmm, I will have to learn how to HTML that to make it go to her page) she said that I should pick up on "Out of the Past" where I left her hanging over (OMG) 15 years ago.

Well, they don't really want you to use a work in progress, but since I haven't actually WRITTEN on the story in over a decade, I don't see how it could be a WIP. I'll just start where I left off and count the wordage from that point on...

I'll have to think about that.

MLK was having a problem. She was soooo upset because she had math homework. Tears even. She said to me: "I don't want to LEARN, I just want to KNOW."

Ahhh... out of the mouths of babes. I told her we all wanted that, but I don't think she really understands how MUCH I would like that.

Well, I think I'm going to have to force her to go to bed now. She'll have a half hour to read, then the dreaded sleep....

MLK Joke: What kind of slippers do monkey's wear? Banana Slippers! She wants that read over the announcements at school. I hope this doesn't mean that she wants to be a standup comic.

NaNo makes me think of sodium nitrate, for the record. (NaNO3)

Remove the .'s right after the little v-shaped brackets in the following for a link:

<.a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/finabair">JediJenn<./a>

Change the URL in that to whatever URL you want to reference, and "JediJenn" can be changed to whatever word(s) you want to be the link.

HOWEVER...you don't always have to put links in when mentioning other LJ folks, I tend to put them in when I'm too lazy to put in the links to all the tests I've stolen, and other times just 'cuz I do from time to time.

Well, actually I really didn't think I'd need a link there, but it came to mind when I typed your name. Does all HTML work here? Not that I know much HTML, but I'm sure I can use what little I do know to get into trouble...

And tell MLK that math homework is the most fun!!! LOL!

And I dunno...I kinda enjoy learning. But when I really need it, it would be nice to just know. She has a point there. *hugs*

Poor MLK, she couldn't remember what 8+6 or 8+7 was so she thinks she's NEVER going to learn math. NEVER EVER EVER! Lets see, that's 2 problems out of 100?

She's way to young to be that much of perfectionist.

Wait...she's your daughter, and she's turning into a *perfectionist*???

What happened?
