I live in CA and ferrets are...First of all—ferrets? I live in CA and ferrets are illegal, but they seem so awesome! What are they like to care for? I imagine them sitting on your shoulder all cute, like a little side-kick. Which is… umm… weird. Not sure why I think that.<br /><br />Yay for moms! Seriously, they are awesome. <br /><br />Kids. Are. Hard. I teach kindergarten and I also have two tiny boys of my own, and I know they are exhausting… sucking out all of your energy, and the crazy thing is the more drained you are, the more energy they seem to have. Bleh. I loved your comment about having kids during Austen’s time. The movies really do make it seem like people (especially women) just sat around all day on fancy furniture. Haha. <br /><br />Brant? Who is this Brant fellow? :o)<br /><br /> I’d LOVE to hear more of your thoughts about going Indie. I’ve been seriously considering this also. I’m in the middle of querying (this is my second round for this manuscript) and I’m thinking if I don’t get any agents interested (I've had a few partial requests, but that's it so far), then I’m probably going to try the Amazon eBook thing. <br /><br />Okay, my craziest week ever… well, this was actually a three-month period, but I hope it counts. In Sep2008, I was offered a VERY last-minute teaching job (like the day before school started) so I was thrown into my first year teaching. I was going to college still, so I’d leave from work (my classroom was NEVER clean) asap then head to school, where I’d stay until 9 or 10. I was going to be getting married in December, so I was also planning my wedding during all of this and trying to spend quality time with my fiancé. Wow, it was a CRAZY time. I really don’t know how I did it. I’m sure I didn’t do any of it very well, that’s for sure. <br /><br />Hang in there—hopefully this season will pass soon! <br />Megan Reyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455391897018825109noreply@blogger.com
