And check this out.

Jessica Morrone 1/17/13
English 9 Honors Block 3 A/C Poetry Portfolio-Pantoum


Welcome to High School
So much work to do each day
Too much homework to write each night
In science, we learn about the sun’s rays
For math, every problem has to be right

Too much homework to write each night
Too many civilizations on one test
For math, every problem has to be right
And English Honors means no rest

Too many civilizations on one test
Apparently one language isn’t enough
And English Honors means no rest
Hard to stand out; to be a diamond in the rough

Apparently one language isn’t enough
In science, we learn about the sun’s rays
Hard to stand out; to be a diamond in the rough
So much work to do each day

By my daughter. Not bad, huh?

Hey.

I couldn't fall asleep last night to save my life. Literally up all night. I was like a zombie this AM so I decided to call in the last day that I had saved from last year.

Didn't think it wise to drive an hour on no sleep, then have to take calls all day on major ob day when we have an 1 & 1/2 hours of OT and no closed time at all. Then another hour coming home.

Besides, there were some things my wife wanted me to do today that can only be done during business hours and I can't ever get to them during the work week.

So I'm home. I stayed in bed and just got up. Probably should eat.

Just got called in to work today. Second week in a row that I've gotten called in. At least it's hours, but I'm not overly happy about it since the writing's been flowing.

Ah, well. At least the paycheck should be better next week.

Hope you get more writing done Del.

I just submitted another novella to my publisher. We'll see what they say in a few days/a week. ;)

Just recently came back to AW. Forgot how much I missed it, which I foresee to be extremely detrimental to my writing since I'll be neglecting my ms to post here. wtf

So last time my wife went to Boston for a doctor's appointment for Dannie's injury, she got real ill and was in a hospital, septic and all that, if you recall.

The time before that was about a year ago. It was for a skating competition for Dannie, which is where the injury stared, and they got hit by a major snowstorm and had to pull over to stay a night in a hotel.

Both times, my SIL went with her. I didn't because I was working. (The only time I missed a skating competition for her.)

So we're supposed to go again tonight for more testing and another meet with the doc. Snow is on the way. My wife is freaking out. We may leave tonight to beat the snow.

I keep telling her everything will be ok. I'm here.

Somehow, that isn't relaxing her.

Try giving her a big ole' hug, Vince. Hugging releases feel-good chemicals/hormones/whatever, so maybe it'll make her feel less uneasy.

Thanks for the wb, peeps. Today's going to be laundry day for me. I'm going to put on some war paint this evening to try to get my fiance to go out for dinner tonight since I'm working third shift today and won't want to cook later on.

And it snowed...in Texas!

Hugging SIL = my Head exploding.

Why do you want my head to explode?

Anyhoo, we're leaving today now to beat the weather. I went into work and took 1/2 an emergency day.

Now waiting to kids and wife. Gotta pack.

Like I said, this time, no SIL. Instead, I'm there. So they can throw Godzilla at us. I've got this.

I know I wrote this scene before. I know I did.

But do you think I can find it? In any of the many versions of this book I have? In any of the three notebooks?

No. Of course not. Now I've got to rewrite it.

Grrrrrrrrr.

I'm sure you all know what I mean--right?

Yes, and usually that means I've envisioned it mentally and never actually managed to get it down on paper :/

See, I know I had to have written it because I remember bits that I never pre-imagine, but only come out in actual writing. After writing for 40 years, I know the difference.

Not that it matters. I got it back fast enough (another proof that it was actually put into words before), so all is good.

And not that I've rewritten it, I'll find the original when I least expect it. Y'know?
