Writing, writing, writing

Good afternoon. How is your day? Mine has been kinda sucky so far. I've got a cold, so I feel horrid, but I have been trying to keep writing on my novel. I wrote a couple of chapters, went back to read them and they made no sense. So I had to erase all that work and try again. I like the way it is shaping up now. I am hoping to have it finished by mid-May, if not sooner.
The youngest, M, is doing so well with her words now. I am really shocked by how much she is learning on the program. I wish I had this when my older two were her age.
The oldest, S, is doing well. She decided that since I am writing books, she wants to. She is doing well, but of course, she doesn't write everyday. I am proud that she is trying though.
My son, B, is the same as ever. I don't think he is ever going to grow. He is such a sweet kid, but he is just tiny. The doctors say he will hit a growth spurt, then we won't be able to keep up with him. I hope it happens soon.
Did you hear that they are cutting funding for public schools in the state again? Almost makes me want to home school the kids. How are they going to be able to learn if the state doesn't pay for teachers or books? I swear, they fall any further back in funding, their history books are going to be teaching about the civil war because that when they were written. It is so stupid, the governor hasn't taken a paycut, but she doesn't mind if our kids suffer. I say, make her live on a teacher's salary for a year, then see how her attitude changes. Oh well. I wish there was something we could do, but the way things are going right now, the polictians in this state aren't listening to us. I am going to stop now before I end up going totally off.
Well, it was nice to see you again. Stop by tomorrow and we can talk some more. I have to get back to the novel and cook supper. Have a good night.
