Alright... It's been one HELL of a first week. But now that we've got some stuff handled...

Now that we've got some family situations handled and our Fall cleaning before the holidays done (since we were moving and re-arranging to accommodate some changes anyway)... NOW I feel like I can get back to business! 

I just got caught up with my posts for "For all the Books I've Loved so far..." and now I get back to me, and this blog and my writing!

Like I said, family first-- but damn, it can be exhausting! 

I spent all week last week (among other things) Meal Prepping like crazy and taking tons of pictures so I can give you guys some great details. Plus Nanowrimo is kicking my butt, and I've still gotta get up last month's Chapter #2 for Tentaglian Empire. I'm gonna be busy!!

And don't forget about my FREE Giveaway I've got going on to say "Thank you" to all of you for your wonderful support!

Talk to ya'll real soon!

I would Apologize for my Severe Tardiness, BUT... Family Comes First.

​© T.B. Cooper
Picture
Let's see... What since Friday, did I have still left to finish up for this month?

*20 Scariest Movies to watch This Halloween
*Meal-Planning Lesson #2.5 (Meal Planning Essentials List)
*Meal-Planning Lesson #3 (My Secret to Meal Planning Success)
*Tentaglian Empire: House of Tentagel Chapter #2
​*Suggested revisions for a book I'm a Beta Reader for
Plus, a few Recipes, and a couple various other posts.


So WTH? Why did I suddenly face-plant--feet before the finish line?

Why haven't I even sat at my computer all weekend to finish these HUGE posts that are important to me, part of my "JOB," and (hopefully) important to you, my wonderful readers?

Well, up until just mere moments ago, my household of 9 was going to increase next weekend to a household of 12. So I spent the weekend making room, rearranging, and drafting plans to create a "room" for my family member and her two children. My Kitchen and dining area are in shambles...the carpets are shampooed, that's a plus!... but, books and craft stuff are EVERYWHERE!.... With a party for my niece on Saturday coming up, and Thanksgiving (Which I have cooked every year since I was 15, and is ALWAYS at my house) just weeks away... PLUS, NANOWRIMO next month... UGH!!! This is not what I NEEDED... BUT, it is what my family member needed. She needed a safe spot to come stay. Some recent changes in her life have made safety/security a sudden need that was over-looked and taken for granted, up until about a month ago.

But, everything changes...

Including plans, well-thought-out plans... and people's minds.

What may seem dismal on Friday, might turn out to be glorious on Monday.

Which is what has happened this morning!

Am I mad? No.

Was I close to falling out of balance and having a nervous breakdown... I don't have time for that.

But, I was pretty damn out of whack. My mind was on overload & it took everything in me to maintain any semblance of sanity and focus.
I wanted to write. I wanted to post. I've been doing so well this year since May/June-ish and really focusing on what is important to me--ME, Myself--ME... My writing career. It has come with its own sacrifices, for sure.
But, again... I have sacrificed plenty of myself for others up until this year.
This is MY time... down here. Up there is their time... :D

So, I apologize, kind of. I am sorry if you're depending on my posts in a timely fashion. The only time I will miss my self-imposed deadlines will be if my Family needs me. Even when I had a "real" job, my family came first. I have thrown my keys at ex-bosses and told them where to stick it, when they made me choose. I won't tell you that, and certainly not MY BOSS, now (Me!). But I will ask for a bit of understanding. I'm trying my damnedest to not let my bipolarism interfere, which is awfully difficult sometimes... so... yeah.

That's my story. I've got to feed some critters, then I will be chained to this desk the rest of the day playing catch up. My hubby stayed home to take the kids out for festivities, today--Thankfully!... I'll put the house back together tomorrow (maybe), but for now, I'm not ending October a "Loser." I'm going out--fighting!

  • I'll be sharing FREE Printables
  • I'll tell you about my favorite Hoses for the farm
  • I'm showcasing an Artist this Friday, like I did last month.
  • ​My Blog Spotlight for this Month, will be Writers Write.
  • I'll tell you Why I'm Proud to be a Farmer 
  • Give up some more Homesteading Tricks & Tips
  • Why I Un-school My Kids
  • I'll give you some suggestions and ideas, tell you about some alternative uses...​
  • I've decided after being asked to do so, to introduce you to My Way of Meal Prepping, which I'm pretty excited about, since I haven't yet seen anyone else do it this way, and I've been doing this way for a while-- and I wouldn't & couldn't do it any differently, ever again! And Don't worry, some of the Printables are for helping you out with Meal Prepping. Plus, this will be an on-going series to really illustrate the process. So if Meal Prepping 101 from all of your searches has got you overwhelmed, well, I won't promise this to be any less confusing in the beginning, but in the long run... I think you'll like it!
  • I'm re-releasing/re-posting a Blog Post I did a while back, that I took down right away, because I was too afraid of putting something so personal out there. I instead wrote a post to explain why I took it down. But, since it deals with how I-deal with: Bipolar Depression, Endometriosis, Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome, and other issues, I figured it might help bring a bit of hope to even one person... so why not?
  • I'm giving you my recipe for Apple Pie, which my kids will more than likely hate me for sharing it!
  • Probably a few more odds & ends, in there as well...

​
​And FINALLY... Chapter 2 of Tentaglian Empire will be released on October 28th! So if you haven't signed up for your FREE copies, it's not too late!

For more details about the Series, click here.
So... yeah, pretty busy! I look forward to working hard & playing hard! Hope this month is also awesome for you!

Below are Affiliate links to the Books I will be Reviewing. If your click results in a purchase, I might get paid. 
No, not BY the Author, but by Amazon. Just FYI.

    Hello!

    I’m T.B. Cooper, and I’m very excited to share my life with you. In between living on Pinterest, voicing political views of Equality (on Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr), running an atypical farm in the Southern Nevada Desert, spiritually guiding & advising & fixing lives, and schooling my kids plus a bunch of others' kids (...that I'm not sure how they got here); you’ll find me fighting for desk space with my cats, attempting to keep their hair out of my tea, plugging my nose 'cause my bulldog likes to sleep & fart next to me, trying to actually do some work that makes ME happy…

    I'm a woman of many traits and talents, some are better than others. In this Blog you'll find a little bit of everything. And I DO mean EVERYTHING!

    Want to know more about me? Visit my About Page or we can talk (I'd love to hear from you), just head over to my Contact Page.
