Well I did it. I posted every day in November (I think?) Or at the very least I think I posted 30 times. Maybe 29, but that is pretty darn close.
I hope you enjoyed a daily dose of me and my thoughts. I’m toying with the idea of continuing the streak but who knows.
My daughter also did quite a bit of writing this month. Her English teacher had them on a NaNoWriMo site attempting to finish a 4,000 word novel/story. My daughter currently has 3,800 words and plans to finish tonight. I’m quite proud! (Update: She just hit 4000 words!)
My son has been invited to his first spend-the-night this weekend. Both my kids are getting so grown up. It’s a trip, honestly. It feels like just yesterday they were tiny and needed me every minute.
And now I have to explain, for the millionth time, why my daughter won’t be getting her own phone until she’s 13. I’m so tired having that conversation. But I also can’t believe that in June of next year; my daughter will be 13.
Today was a long day and I’m super beat so I’m going to sign off for now. So long NaBloPoMo. It’s been fun.
Thanks for the posts…..love the kittens, will they be indoor cats? We had two cats one decided to leave and go live with a neighbour when we got a labrador puppy. He was the big tom cat, the little skittish female cat decided to stay and stand up to the puppy. They are both outdoor cats but she is an Abyssinian cat and loves the sun so only leaves the house when the sun shines. She still puts the dog in his place even though she is 11 now and he is a very large bouncy black lab.
Love when you post daily – gives me something to look forward to (even though I don’t often comment!).
I loved when you posted daily too, even though I too, don’t comment often I am reading. I always check your blog first
Kay, Polly, Margaret: Thank you all for saying it first! Noemikjames we really appreciate and enjoy it when you post, and I suspect we all know it takes time and energy on your part to do this. THANK YOU for the effort you put into this. I always think what a wonderful record you have created for the future and hope it bbrings you the joy that it brings us.
Congratulations to your eldest for her first November writing efforts. I trust and assume your son will have a grand first overnight with a friend. I suspect your daughter can now tell you (instead of you telling her) why her parents are having her wait until 13 for a phone. A good starting place for her to begin articulating your side of arguments. Sometimes kids get it right, sometimes they have thought of things you haven’t, sometimes they miss realities and sometimes they are flat wrong. But it DOES CHANGE a repeated discussion. (PS: a new view of ideas is always expanding to me and I really appreciate how you have opened new eyes and ideas for me.)
HAPPY DECEMBER WISHES TO ALL!
