Thing is, my office now has three chairs. And no, my butt hasn't tripled in size, thank the Lord.<br /><br />Don't bonbons involve ice cream? In which case I cannot promise I don't eat them.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-50401021526703574152012-06-08T21:14:33.503-07:002012-06-08T21:14:33.503-07:00I love that picture; it illustrates my life so per...I love that picture; it illustrates my life so perfectly. With two teens and a college-aged daughter living away from home, I'm acutely aware of my shifting roles, though. I'm less busy with the kid stuff (sadly), and more busy with my writing and volunteer work. And I am VERY thankful for this life no matter where my daily calendar leads me.D.E.

All that stuff -- the carpool and the schedule and the dinner prep and the actual dinners and the homework and the discipline and the reading and the listening -- it all takes time. Add writing to that. Then add all the things that come WITH writing -- the networking and the online networking and the updating and the blogging and, in my screenwriting life, the endless meetings -- and it makes up for one very busy, blessed life.Jen Kleinhttp://jenkleinbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-1374789769723943152012-06-05T10:41:04.350-07:002012-06-05T10:41:04.350-07:00I love that etching :0)
