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

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!

    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.
