Time to update my blog!

Hey all...if anyone is still out there, lol. Hope you are all doing well.

If anyone is interested in Pride and Prejudice (P&P) Fanfiction go over to Malena's site (http://madaboutdarcy.blogspot.com/). She is a fabulous writer! She'll have you laughing in no time!

My story is now over 250 pages and I have two betas (informal editors) working on it, plus a friend who is a fan of P&P who took it on vacation with her to read...I'm waiting for her verdict when she gets back. She is a published author.

The two betas are great and very different from each other which works out wonderfully. One is a male, one female - one more grammar/syntax minded than the other, the other gives me lots of ideas of where I can/should expand. They're about 50 pages into the story now and we've hit a major snag. The lady wants me to get rid of a scene that is very important and I'm freaking out. Granted she had no idea how important this is to the rest of the story because she has not read it yet, but I haven't the slightest idea how to 'fix' this scene.

So instead of writing for now I'm taking another break and catching up on my reading.

Gotta go get the kiddies from school. Ugh only 4 more days then they are off for 2 months!

Allergies, writing, and migraines, oh my!

Argh! I hate pollen! I know we need it to survive, but I hate it anyway. To be getting such a headache as this just from breathing really stinks. I want to not be allergic to pollen anymore.

Ok, I don't feel any better, but at least that is out there. I want to go take a nap because this is now turning into a migraine but I cannot lay down for another 15 minutes because I took a pill with lunch that you are not allowed to lay down for 30 minutes after. And yes I know I'm babbling but you try having a pollen-sinus-headache allergy-mush-brain turning-into-a-migraine and typing something coherent.

So my second fanfiction is going along well. When it is done I will post it on a new blog and on some forums for P&P fanfiction. I have almost 76,000 words, 154 pages, and it has a long way to go. I do believe I'll end up with more than 100,000 words. About 111 pages of that is polished up pretty nicely, and the rest is more-than-outlined but just typed in huge blocks of information and not proper language. Well actually there are another 20 or so pages that are ready intermixed with the other blocks of info. I just asked for a beta (someone to proofread, etc) on one of the boards. i wanted to spend some time this afternoon with the story but my brain is mush so that is probably not going to happen because of the - well go look above at the end of the last paragraph.

The first story only had a little ways to go but then I started cutting out big chunks for the 2nd story so I'll never post that on a forum... maybe just the end part to the forums because it cannot go in the second story... and then post the whole thing on my own blog (the new one I mentioned above not linked to Tripletmom because I want some privacy - don't want the forum people knowing my problems type thing, but I will put the link to the new blog on here if anyone wants to read it)

Ugh i still have 10 more minutes before I can lay down. Somebody make time go faster. I hope my alarm wakes me up later and I go pick up the kids from school. This light is killing me so I'm going... see ya

Update on the last update lol

The teacher says the boy has been moved away from DD1. He, of course, says he didn't say/do any of that. Uh huh. Well, there is not much the teacher can do since DD1 did not report it right away. It turns out it was determined that the glue stick thing happened weeks ago, not last week. I'm not sure when the "psychopath" names were thrown at her.

Now that I've calmed down... I really don't think there is a danger to DD1 or I'd make more of a stink about it. DD1 promises to tell the teacher immediately if anything else occurs.

So that is that - for now anyway.

Update - death threat to my daughter, son's condition, etc.

Hey all! I just realized there were 2 comments to blogs from months ago... sorry people - I didn't see them till just now! I just approved them this morning.

So DD1 is getting death threats at school. I just found out about this a few minutes ago. She told me yesterday that the kid was calling her a "psychopath" and "psychopathic murderer" but I didn't flip about that as much as the "holding up a glue stick and his hand, pretending the hand is her head and the glue stick is a bullet, then the bullet hits the head" thing... found out about that just as I was writing an email to her teacher about the psychopath thing about 5 minutes ago. NOW I'm freaking out - though I know this is just words... but still! Nobody should have to deal with this stuff!

We have a major gang problem/hate crime problem in our area (we actually had some high school kids kill a man recently, it is in trial right now) and 2 incidents with little kids bringing in guns to school within the past year... so the cops are having a major push in, even at the elementary school level, constantly having lectures, going to every single class, etc. I have a feeling there is going to be some major problems as a result of this, but I cannot have DD1 being threatened, either! She's only thinking of these things as an insult, too, and it's been going on for a week and she only just told me about it. Ugh.

Ok... so yeah I'm freaking out a bit right now. I sure hope that kid does not have access to a gun.

I don't think I'm making much sense, am I? Sorry.

She also got a sun-rash on her hands when I let her go out for 5 minutes to see some animals that came to visit the school on Friday. She forgot to put on her gloves. She still has the rash - and yeah she just told me about that now too. I even asked her if she had any rashes on Friday and over the weekend. She did say on Friday that she felt like she might be getting one, but I'm guessing she didn't really hear me over the weekend since she has inherited her father's "gift" for being able to carry on a conversation without attending to it at all.

Meanwhile... now maybe this is why I'm completely freaking out about DD1's threat... my husband's cube-mate was shot in the head a few days ago and is dead. He was in his backyard having a ciggy and someone shot him. Why? Who? Nobody seems to know. The cops have the case sealed up tight, even though some people DH works with know people in the police who are very high ranked cops, they still cannot find out any info. What the heck happened to this poor guy?

And DD2 is completely freaking out about all this because for about a year now she has had an irrational fear (well, maybe it isn't so irrational after all?) that someone is going to shoot her.

OK, on to my son - he is still doing better, with that slight problem last week when bad, bad mommy gave him something with a hint of wheat in it by mistake. So... I'm considering that one his 'wheat challenge' and he failed it miserably. No more wheat ever again for DS. We are going to try soy next, but I think we will wait till after Easter for that. I want to make it to at least one holiday celebration this year, and if he gets sick I won't know if he actually is sick or having an allergic reaction and will probably keep everyone home from Easter at my mom's new condo.

Oh and MIL is all moved in now. I haven't been able to go help her again, but she was so well unpacked last time I was there that I don't think she really needs me, to be honest.

And my mom had a biopsy taken yesterday. Ugh!

I guess that's about it.

Is everyone's lives as... um... eventful... as mine?

Oh, one last thing - I'm now writing fanfiction! Writing a Pride and Prejudice story. Wish me luck.

Ok so I lied, I have 2 last things - I finally saw the DVD of Twilight New Moon and it totally, totally STUNK!!! What a major disappointment. I'm sorry I spent the money on buying it!
