We now have babies!
The little ones have hatched. Three little baby birds. I love to see their heads bobbing up, mouths open. I'm still trying to figure out what they are. I may try and get a picture of Mom so I can do some research. *g*
I sympathize with the Momma bird. Each time I have tried to write today, the kidlets have either fought or decided "Mom, we need..." They have a sixth sense. Smart little girls didn't come down once when I was cleaning. LOL they might be detained into helping. But if I sit down at the laptop, it's like a magnet.
In honor of the baby birds, we made dirt pudding cups this morning. Pudding covered with oreo cookie crumbs and a gummy worm. That was fun.
I did meet the writing goal of the beginning of the week. Actually, Monday night I sat down with two pages to go to get there and I wrote 7! And *drum roll please* today I sit at 152 pages! I'm so excited.
It hit me last night as I approached the 150 page mark that on a 200 page book, that leaves just a quarter left to write. Course conversely I'm going, "only around 50 pages left, I have so many threads to tie up" and "around 50 pages left, how am I going to find scenes to fill it?" at the same time. No, I won't drag it out if it finishes in the 190's or cut it short if I go over. 200 is a general aim.
May the muses have gummy worms (and not real ones)

Aww, babies... congrats! Should we call you Grandma now? LOL
152? Great!
LOVE babies! Especially ones that don't require diapers. Been there done that ...
Congrats on meeting your writing goals...I have been 'stuck' for quite a while now and it is encouraging to hear that others are busily typing away. Of course, now my mind is filled with thoughts of pudding and oreo crumbs! Yum!
Congrats! You're almost finished. Yah!!! Love the gummy worms...the candy kind. ;-)
Baby birds! Awww!!
Wishing you the best on finishing your book!
