I know a lot of you must think I suck for not updating or editing like I promised, but life isn't easy for some of us lol. So much has happened since January, and I still haven't figured everything out. I'm juggling 2 kids, 6 therapies between them, one just started school, the other is homeschooled. 1 is diagnosed Autistic the other is being evaluated for Autism and Adhd. All while being a stay at home mom, and trying to keep my sanity. I also started an antidepressant like 2 months ago, and it sadly has suppressed my ability to write. I also like playing video games at the end of the night, and that keeps me from writing. Oh and I love watching shows so I had to binge The Handmaid's Tale lol and now I'm watching Baby Daddy for the 100th time. I'm getting there though. I'm going to learn to balance everything, and in the next month or so I'll have 3 hours of uniterrupted time where I can write!!! This is what I'm looking forward to! So please be kind. Be paitent, and stay with me because I'm going to make a come back some time.

I am struggling. Whew now that, that’s off my chest let me explain. I can not be present in all areas of my life that I would like to be. My personal life and writing life are constantly competing. I have too much that I want to do while also being a stay at home mom of a child with special needs and a terrorizing toddler!! So I’m choosing to eliminate areas of my life and merge others into my writing accounts. So hang in there with me you guys!

Hi I haven’t forgotten about y’all! I’ve been fighting depression, anxiety, parenting, and with my spouse. I’m starting to feel a lot better so hopefully I can fix my family’s sleep schedule and get back to writing!!!

@LilyOdell I am sorry to hear that you have had to be fighting these things. Take the time you need to rest and fix your family's sleep schedule (the recent time change hasn't helped here either). I hope for peace for you soon. If you need a break from writing, it is ok. We understand that you need to put you first.

Should I write or should I go to bed is a debate I have far too often at 2 am

@Scosgrove I actually got 4 hours last night so I’m going to sit and drink coffee while it’s still quiet!

@LilyOdell At 2am! I want to tell you that sleep is important, but then I might have also been reading a book later than I should have been. Sleep girl.
