Adeline refused to go to school today.
"I want to do errands!" she cried, tugging on my bathrobe.
She was already seated at the breakfast table in her best dress (a bright blue dress with white embroidery) and green sandals topped with a hot pink, leather flower.
"She told me that school was closed, so she couldn't go," Mom informs me.
Adeline loves her school, so she must just need some one-on-one time. I was desperate to write, but Mom offered to take her. And Adeline, having her way, convinced her Babu to take her to San Francisco on the BART train where they picked out new red shoes and some extremely sparkly pink ones... The girl loves shoes like her mommy... what can I say?! She came one very happy, sparkly girl!
I managed to get in 8.5 hours of writing time on my book. It's getting closer, though still weeks away from a real first draft. Patience and work; patience and work.
