I enrolled Grady in preschool this year because I want to have\u00a0more time to focus solely on my writing \u2014 without any interruptions. Now that Brynlie and Eden went back to school, he\u00a0has been so\u00a0lost and bored without them to play with.\u00a0He kept saying that he wanted to go to school, so I thought, “Why not?” Besides…it’s good for them, right?!?\u00a0That’s what I keep telling myself so that I don’t feel so guilty about sending him at 2 1\/2 years old.\u00a0I also keep telling myself that it’s only 15 hours a week and that\u00a0he *gets* to be with me every other minute\u00a0of every day!\u00a0This reverse psychology has helped to ease my mind and fears.\u00a0By the way…how stinkin’ cute are these?!?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a> <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

I have been picking-up more writing jobs and am absolutely thrilled to be given these opportunities and I feel that I will always regret it if I don’t take more risks and really<\/em> dive into this!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

Wish me luck!\u00a0I’ll keep you posted on how much more writing I’m getting done during my alone<\/em> time and will also be updating how Grady adjusts to preschool and making new friends!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
