Although my kiddos are now all college age and/or married, there are still similarities in our "glamourous" days, LOL (except since I'm not pubbed yet I don't have real deadlines). I especially could relate to your cat comments. I have 6 (my toddlers in fur) and also take care of my son's rabbit and bird (while he's at college). Oh yes, there are also 2 "stray" kitties outside who insist they belong at my house (so I'm obligated to feed them *grin*). ~ Thank you again for sharing, and blessings on your writing ~ Patti JoCatMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985658721138526298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-77918215948627109912012-04-30T18:08:36.701-07:002012-04-30T18:08:36.701-07:00LOL Judy, you're a riot!

But my kids are homeschooled, so I usually get up at 6 to squeeze in writing before we do their lessons. We do take periodic breaks throughout the day when I squeeze in more writing. It works for me cause I don't do long stretches at the computer very well. :)Karen Kirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191513283348440602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-3789351906602002502012-04-30T10:43:19.680-07:002012-04-30T10:43:19.680-07:00So true, Lisa!

I actually had a man ask me if all I did was write all day with a glass of wine in one hand and a pen in the other. In the immortal words of Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, "As if!"<br /><br />Your day is just as hectic, if not more than, someone who works a 9 to 5 job. I don't have children yet, but I do have a house to maintain, a dog that needs to be walked 3 times a day (no back yard to do his business), and life events that clash with writing. On top of that, I have a husband that is deployed to Afghanistan. People who make comments about writers having an easy life just don't know, lol!Brandi Boddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017741568841209088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-20222249966224139432012-04-30T08:08:51.988-07:002012-04-30T08:08:51.988-07:00Lisa, you're so right. The life of a writer--...Lisa, you're so right. The life of a writer--at least, this writer--is very ordinary. I'm usually trying to write between all the other things that need to get done...laundry, dishes, visiting a sick friend in the hospital, grocery shopping, cooking. You get the idea. Reading over the list, it seems food plays an important role in my life. :)<br /><br />Left-over grilled chicken breasts for dinner tonight so I can write late into the afternoon and still have dinner on the table by 7PM.Debby Giustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463321611980242375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-21806196778637457642012-04-30T06:35:43.004-07:002012-04-30T06:35:43.004-07:00My morning starts at about 5:45.

Kids are grown so no more homeschool. Usually one of the 3 dogs has lagged behind so at some point I have to let her out and the others usually follow even though I had just let them in. I may go back to bed as I was probably up reading until 2:00am. I use to have about 30 birds to take care of but since January I'm down to two. And than I read. Hubby roasts our coffee and we have a special machine so coffee is always freshly ground but I do forget to drink it so it's usually cool too soon. Did I mention I read then? Lately I have been doing final proof reading for some Indie authors and now I'm trying my hand at editing as well so...I'm still reading but with more purpose. I'm glad I don't have the getting kids on the bus. And no cats to push away from the computer but our latest puppy...which is a rather big 9 month old dalmatian pup...likes to jump behind me on my recliner while I'm at the computer, which is also in my bedroom. Nope my days not as exciting or glamorous as your life is Lisa!Just Judy's Jumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06381560056624313153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-31961565283907478312012-04-30T06:10:58.742-07:002012-04-30T06:10:58.742-07:00Jenny, that's so cute!

Her name was Sheba, and we called her Sheba-dog because she acted so much like a dog! :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-69800922535857176132012-04-30T04:52:03.377-07:002012-04-30T04:52:03.377-07:00Missy your cat only liking you son reminds me of t...Missy your cat only liking you son reminds me of the cats where I cleaned today. as much as I want them to like me they run for the hills when they see me. starting to get a complex. <br />I will admit my first cat was a one person cat. it followed me everywhere, when I went to school would follow me to the gate and mum wouldn't see him again till just before I got home.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-757191580057594902012-04-30T04:49:12.493-07:002012-04-30T04:49:12.493-07:00I got stuck on the kids on the bus at 6.30am!
