Aah, another summer has finally come, and once again I face the same challenge—my children.  Ouch, that sounds awful calling them a challenge, but let’s face it, kids aren’t exactly conducive in regards to quiet time, and mine are way, way passed the age of napping.  Yet, I can’t write in chaos.  Believe me, I’ve tried, it doesn’t work.  My brain must have SILENCE!  Then I feel bad telling my kids to shush fifty times for the few hours I set aside to write it each day.

One day I’m sure my children will be on an Oprah-like talk show telling the world how their mother neglected them.  Ugh.  It’s moments like these I think year-round schools may not be such a bad idea.
