Holiday Madness
Why are the holidays so stressful?
I can't be the only person asking myself this question, right? Of course not. Between the shopping, the gift wrapping, and the events, this time of year is undoubtedly busy for everyone. Especially when you figure in all your regular day-to-day 24/7/365 activities. Well, this year got to me in particular because my husband was away. He had a military training exercise several states away for just under three weeks right after Thanksgiving. Leaving me alone with a daughter who hates doing homework and enjoys video games and Youtube way too much, a toddler that is literally up my rear end (he is sitting on my lap as I type this), a dog that will whine incessantly when she wants you to play with her, but never when she has to go out to pee. Right now, my beloved cat Lucy is the only member that isn't testing my sanity.
All this means that I have been writing the final chapter of Kiss of Fire for a solid three weeks. One single chapter. This is officially insane. Have no fear, I tell myself and my readers, however. Because help is on the way in the form of my wonderful husband, who returns later today. Which means even if I have to run away to a coffee shop to finish this chapter, I will finally be able to do so. And, trust me, I have every intention of doing so. ;)
