When I got home, I needed to eat lunch, start a slow cooker supper, put away groceries and take out the garbage. It was already 1:30 and I hadn't even written a word yet.
My husband came home with a contractor who will be repairing a wall that had had some water damage. He disappeared, then reappeared. Still not a single word written.
If I am lucky, I will write a thousand words today. Right now I am up to 850 words. My advice is if you're in the same boat, just keep going. Do your best. And sometimes things turn out nicely.
My mother told me there would be days like this.
Speaking of mothers, my brother sent me this photo this morning of our family taken circa 1965. It's off topic, but I want to share it with you.
Guess which one I am.

Hang in there Barbara! Ive been working hard too on this, and then we got a text from our son - could he and the granddaddies come for a visit this weekend. Well, of COURSE! And then later I thought - I've got NaNo. But some things in life just come first. I know you'll finish well.
I know! There are somethings more important than Nano. Oh, I can't believe I said that! LOL. How are you doing, Linda?
Keep going Barb. That's the whole fun of doing NaNo. You fall behind and then catch up the next day or two, and even make up for it by writing even more than you anticipated.
You're the second from the left???
I hope to get a lot more tomorrow, Renee-Ann. So can anyone guess which one is me in this photo?
Hi Barb - obviously you are one of the girls! No idea which.
Keep it up! I feel your pain with busy-ness. I used to write in the mornings before I even got dressed, that way I knew it would get DONE. Now I have to go to work first - it's cramping my style, but I have to eat!
Sally, I am the one on the left, sitting on my mother's lap. My niece has taken a photo of herself in nearly the exact same spot, just yesterday. It was so neat to see it.
And as for working to eat, yup, we have to do that too. And yup, cramps our style, too.
