Keeping It All Together

Weird.  I wake up and my heart’s practically racing.  I get out of bed and the mind’s already running ahead, shifting through all I have to do.  Kids.  Baby.  Dog.  Food.  Writing.  Email.  Edits.  New proposal.  Book.  Events.  Cleaning.  Laundry.  Baby.  Bills.  Bills.  Headache.  August.  Book tour.  Publicity.  Baby.  Boys.  Homework.  Grades.  Worry.

I love having my sister [...]
