Confession: even though I ask readers to leave reviews for my books and appreciate every single one, I'm TERRIBLE at writing reviews myself. I know! Horrible, right? I just realized this the other day when I looked at Goodreads and saw how far behind I am on my 2016...
I just spent an hour and forty-five minutes at my kids' school tearing pages out of workbooks. An hour and forty-five minutes! Non-stop tearing and sorting. My back is totally killing me--just popped a couple of ibuprofen--but I'm so glad I could help out. That's a...

Drugs: Sorry (again!) for the long silence, but it's been a rough couple of months. I finally got in to see a new neurologist, had an EEG--that test where they put electrodes on your head then flash lights in your eyes--and apparently I had multiple complex seizures...
(Sorry, this post got kind of long and medical-y. Wasn't sure I had the energy in me to type at all, but maybe this is a good sign that I can get some real writing done tomorrow.) I broke my face Yes, literally. Early last Monday, I got out of bed and went to the...
