IWSG Blog Post — Seasons

8/1/2023

My backyard needs to be raked…in July.

This leaves me with two questions:
Can I start drinking pumpkin spice lattes yet?
And
Is it back-to-school season yet???

My summer has not been a season of writing. Even this blog post has been a challenge. From 5 am to 8 pm every day since June, my kids are up and yelling “Go, go, go!” Seriously, how do teachers do it? I’ve also been busy planning the kids’ birthday party (which, thankfully, went off without a hitch last weekend). We’ve had tons of fun with play dates, spray parks, etc, but I haven’t touched my book since school ended. I’ve barely even read anything. I’d hoped to publish the third and final installment of my trilogy before Christmas, but…2024 it is.

Now, about that pumpkin spice latte…

The awesome co-hosts for the August 2 posting of the IWSG are Kate Larkindale, Diane Burton, Janet Alcorn, and Shannon Lawrence. Go check out their blogs!

I chose not to answer the optional question today. Hope everyone is having a good summer!

There seems to be a lot of not-writing going around the IWSG this month, including in my little corner of the world. Hang in there--fall will be here soon.

>>> From 5 am to 8 pm every day since June, my kids are up and yelling “Go, go, go!”

I've got a standing agreement with my son to give me until 7:30AM to write (I start writing at 6 most days). He's 9, and it's still tough for him not to interrupt me, but he succeeds most days. My daughter is a tween, so I'm lucky if I can drag her butt out of bed before 10. I've actually assigned the birthday party planning to her, and she's decided it'll be at the park, fruit and pizza served, and shiba inu decorations. She's even going to print stickers to go with the party favors that she has yet to pick out. It certainly takes the load off me. I just need to buy all the supplies to make it happen. :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I do believe it is back-to-school season but not sure if it is pumpkin spice season yet.
