Lisa Ebert's Random Thoughts
Sunday, March 6, 2016
This is to all of the creative writers out there who can manage to produce in the face of a full-time job, several kids, a spouse, a home, and needy extended family. I salute you! I can't seem to find the time. I sat down to write a test (tomorrow is test day!) for my teaching job, with the hope that I might shift gears and write some prose afterward, when I got the text that a child needs picking up. This is after spending the day helping extended family and friends. OY life.

Music in My House
Charlie has two friends over and they're fooling around with music in the family room. Shaun on guitar, Jack on piano, and Charlie on vocals and guitar. It's a really great sound to hear music in my house.

New Year Same as the Old Year
Does a new year feel shinier if you've planned for it? The only positivity I have is the knowledge that my kids go back to school on Monday, a full week before I'm back in class. Having a large family means the holidays are a whirlwind of people people people, and there's not a minute to think and write. And even if I did sneak off, I'd feel guilty because one or another child or relative is being neglected. Sigh. I guess that's one thing a job buys you: legitimate time to produce something, and a way to steal a few minutes here and there to indulge in the guilty pleasure of writing.
