sleepy me

I'm at the library again, hoping I don't get kicked off for exceeding my "30 minute time limit". How can anyone accomplish anything substantial in 30 minutes? Oh how I need a computer!!
Enough complaining. How is everyone? I'm good. Trying to get over a blasted cold. I slept very little last night, due to some medicine I'm taking. I guess sleep deprivation is good for my writing though, cause after the kids went to school I wrote a 3 page story! ha! I've written two children's stories so far, and I sent the first off today to Highlights magazine. I probably am boring all of you with all this writing stuff, but its so exciting to me! Its such a sense of relief and happiness to finally realize what you want to do with your life! :D Unfortunately, the pay (if there even is any) is very low for a beginner. But hopefully that will change somewhere down the line. Here's hoping, anyway. :)
Hope you all have a happy Halloween!

I love Oxi-Clean!

Well, I just printed off two poems that I'm going to send to a magazine called "Five Points". If they publish it, they pay (I think) $50 per poem and a one year subscription to their magazine. Yay! I'm trying not to get my hopes up though. The probability of me getting the first things I send off getting published is low. I'm excited to be getting started though. I'll let you all know when I hear back from them whether its good news or bad. (which could be from 3 to 4 months - wah!)
Oh and I have something to pass on to all you fellow mothers. I washed a RED crayon with a load of clothes that held some new and favorites clothing items. They were ruined, so I thought. Red marks and spots ALL over our clothes. I went to Walmart and bought some Oxi-Clean spray, sprayed it VERY liberally all over the spots, and washed it with my normal detergent, Purex (with Color safe bleach). I'm very happy to report that all the spots came out!! Yay! I whooped with joy! I was very sad about our nice clothes being ruined! So you can imagine how ecstatic I became when I saw the resulting miracle. I could've done a commercial for Oxi-Clean at that moment. I called my mother yelling, "I love Oxi-Clean! It's a miracle spray!" lol I know, I'm weird, but you know what I'm talking about if you've ever had that happen. :)
Tonight I'm taking the kids to a storytime at the GELI (Gilmore Early Learning Institute) place. Its a cute place. They've donated all kinds of stuff to the Amory and Aberdeen libraries and they have their own place where kids can come and check out stuff (I think they can anyway). The flyer said they would read a Halloween story, and have a snack and a craft. I love free stuff. Don't you?

I have returned!

Hey! Yes! I'm blogging again! Here I am everyone!! I've missed it so. Blogging is good for the soul, I think. Like chicken soup. haha
Mom, you are probably the only one who'll read this...since the web address has changed and all. So how are ya? I'm doing well. I'm at the library researching freelance writing and I submitted a couple of little funnies to Parents magazine a minute ago. I believe my computer time is just about up too. Sigh. Now I know how all those angry patrons feel!!! An hour is just not long enough to conquer the internet!
Maybe I'll get to write some here and there on my blog from now on. For now I'd better sign off! Goodbye again to blogland!
