Well, my fellow parents, we're all at home.  And we're all stuck at home with the kids.  I can personally say it's been very challenging.  (read:  painful!)  BUT it's also been pretty rewarding.  At our house, we've actually found time to communicate a lot more than we would have otherwise.  Plus, the kids are getting me to play more Fortnite!  This game used to be the bane of my existence (that's all my kids would do for 8 hours a day), now it's become something to do, and good bonding time.  And frankly, it's a moment when we're not all yelling at each other...

Well, if you've read anything of mine - you'll realize I spend a lot of time, complaining about not having any time.  Frankly, I seem to find a lot of things to whine about. (I don't necessarily have the right to complain about them, but I do!)  And putting them into poetry is much better than yelling at my kids, or the pets.  So here I am, telling you I'm about pitching my second book...

After the catastrophe, chaos, and candy of the holidays, it's time to start the New Year!  And, if you're like me, you'll probably be recovering for several weeks.  That, and figuring out the gadgets you bought for the kids that for some reason are only partially working.  These, of course, are the gadgets that came second fiddle to the main gadgets(Nintendo Switch or Fitbit possibly??)  which had to be frustratingly fixed and trouble-shot in the days(week!) immediately following Christmas.  But now, here we are...

As the holidays arrive, and we're buried in the hustle and bustle - its time to wish each and everyone all the very, merry best for the Holidays!!  Unfortunately, it ALSO means surviving the kids at home for the next two weeks!!!!   To survive, we decided we could put the kids to good use, outside!...
