Well, my writing week is over and now I have to put my Librarian hat back on.
What did I accomplish?
The dog story is revised -- as per the 5 critiques it got in March.
Spell checked
printed out
and packed away to read next weekend.
It needs another run-through before I send it to another writer who will give it a second look.
The 10-year old's room has been organized and most of her clean wash put away. (we're now in the process of packing away outgrown clothes -- if I can tear them away from her. (NO! That's my favorite! Sorry honey, it doesn't fit anymore.)
The living room is looking spiffy and the dining room is semi-organized. I don't think we'll ever get the construction stuff out of the hallway, tho.
The 10-year old took me out for a pre-Mother's day dinner, since her vocal recital is next Sunday and we can't plan to do much that day.
But now, to bed
and back to work on Monday.

Vacation, Day four
What did I do today?
1) reallyo, truelyo finished cleaning and straightening the dining room. Got the 7-year-old to take her box upstairs. Did not convince her to toss anything. Did convince her to put a too small, too young toy back in the give-a-way box. Next, to attack the living room. And then the hall. And then -- who knows?
2) reallyo, truelyo finished with the Dog story -- and MAILED it to the editor who had requested more of my stuff. wahoo!
Okay, stories and artwork are never finished, just abandoned, but after the last pass-thru, I was convinced it was as ready as it could be. (I tightened up one place. Made another part clearer. (more clear?) And discovered a section in present tense that had not been noticed during the last 20 pass-thrus. yikes! )
3) Made plans for tomorrow. Created a long list of stuff I need from Cosco. Received an official e-mail permission from my daughter. With this in hand, I can now go back to her college and get them to release her transcript to me. Naturally with all these outdoor chores, the weather is supposed to be -- Rain.
4) Gave a practice spelling test to 7-year-old and her best friend.
5) Dinner? Steak and mushrooms, mashed potatoes, green beans and ice cream for desert.
