I WILL Blog Regularly

Well, here I go again…giving this blog thing a try.  This time I may stick to it. 

I've been a mommy for almost 11 months now (WOO-HOO!) and a stay-at-home mommy for about 5 months, I think.  It's not as easy as I thought it would be.  I mean, sure I'm at home, but at first it was this whole stay-at-home-mom vs housewife thing.  Baby Daddy for some reason thought it was the same thing.  It's not.  He just couldn't understand why chores weren't fully done and he definitely couldn't understand why I argued that he had to help out (something that started when I was on maternity leave).  Now mind you, he walks to and from work most of the time and I know it's tiring, but it's not going to kill a person to wash their own dishes or pick up after themselves.  I never agreed to be a housewife and I won't ever agree to it.  I have ONE child (without counting my four-legged ones, of course) and that's how it seems it's going to be for a long time.

Monsters University

Monsters University was awesome!! 

The animation was beautiful!  I mean, there was a scene where Mike and Sully are talking by a pond and it seemed as if I could actually feel Sully's fur.  Visually, it is beautiful.  Story wise, too.  I don't want to give anything away, but I kind of related to Mike.

Happy Fourth of July!!!!!

Happy Fourth of July!!!!!

BD is on vacation as of today.  I THINK I may have some time off to write and catch up on the things I want to do, but I'm not very optimistic about that.  Anyways, we've made plans for these days off.  Originally, we were supposed to go to a get-together with some old friends from college but the date was changed so we've decided to just go out on different outings with LM (of course, because I would never leave him behind).  We were thinking of starting tomorrow, but we've called my MIL and decided to start today.

Camp NaNoWriMo

Big question: DID I ACTUALLY WRITE YESTERDAY? 

Answer:  YES.

WOO-HOO!!!  Okay.  So I had prepared a calendar for camp.  Everyday there's a certain word count goal I should achieve to complete my 50,000 words by the end of July.  I didn't divvy up the words equally, though.  I set my goals so that I'd be writing more in the beginning of July (Except for July 4th) and I wouldn't have to play catch-up towards the end.  Of course it's the 3rd of July and I have the feeling I'll be playing catch-up anyways since yesterday was actually the first day I started writing and I only got in 625.  BUT, in my defense, although LM did give me about half an hour of writing time while he napped, my back is still hurting.

Been a long time...again...

In case you don't know, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month which takes place in November of every year.  The idea is that you write every day for a word count goal of 50000 in a month.  I had heard about it before and thought it'd be something fun to do, but with work, and public transportation, and other stuff there was just no time.  Last year, I thought "Hey! I won't be working in November so I can do it this year!"  Of course, I was pregnant and didn't think how time-consuming a newborn baby was.  (My king is an October baby).
