Nervous Energy

Today, I was awarded another writing job.  I am going to be writing 3-4 500 word articles a day.  They are about “types of” things. 

 

I have a trial run of 20 articles that are due on May 28th.  I have to research and write about them.  I know I can do it.  I just have to really get into it now. 

 

I’m nervous.  I’ve never been paid to write anything. Now I have two jobs that  are going to pay me for my writing. 

 

Maybe this will get me off my tush and get my book written.   I’ll get there.  I just need to get the confidence.

 

I’m jumping in head first today!

Writing

So I said the other day that I found a place where I could potentially find writing jobs. 

 

Well…… last night, I was awarded my first official writing job.  Ok.  So it’s going to be easy.  I have to read blog posts from a website and comment on them.  I have to do the same for their Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts too.  There are also 3 books they have written that I am going to read and review.  I’m excited! 

 

After I have completed this, maybe I will be more confident in what I can do writing-wise.  Plus, some of the jobs (the way they word them) scare me.  They are like “We need this immediately,” but they posted it 2 days ago….so how fast are they going to expect it?

 

I will have more time in a couple weeks too.  So I will attempt to get more then.

Oklahoma

For me, and my musical brain, it’s hard to say “Oklahoma” without singing it.  You know…. “Oklahoma’s O k l a h o m a.  Oklahoma’s OK!”    (I think that’s right…it’s been 100 years since I’ve actually seen the musical or heard the music.  Need to dig that up!)

 

Anyways…..

 

Today, my heart goes out to all the people in Oklahoma who were devastated by the tornado.  The videos and pictures are horrible, but I’m sure they aren’t even close to showing all the destruction. 

 

When I first heard about it, I did a Google Map search to see if my best friend/”brother” was close to it.  About 100 miles away.  Safe!  However, there are many who are not far away and safe.

 

Please keep these people—the parents, teachers, friends, family, volunteers, Red Cross, and our Country—in your prayers.  They need us more than ever now.

Taking Care of My Parents

You know how people always say that as their parents get older, they have to take care of them.

 

Well, today, I have to take my daddy to the doctor.  He hasn’t been able to drive since he was in the hospital in October.  So, since I will get off work before Mom today, I have to take him.  I don’t HAVE to, but I will.

 

How many times have they done stuff for me that was inconvenient or not what they wanted to do?  It’s payback time.  I’m okay with that!

Just Stuff

Today is my wedding anniversary.  Tony and I have been married for 12 years!  Poor guy has to put up with me all the time!  

 

Yesterday, the girls won BOTH games of their double header.  Each of the other two teams has to play again.  We don’t have any more games until the tournament.  If each team wins one and each loses one game, then we will be in first place!   That means we don’t have to play until the final day for the championship!   That would be FABULOUS!!!!!!!!

 

It’s getting closer to the end of school.  We are beginning to plan vacations.  We are going to Hilton Head in June and Myrtle Beach in July.  We are also planning our trip to Gatlinburg in December!   We love the mountains.  Of course, the Princess earned tickets to Tweetsie again through Girl Scout cookie sales.  SO we will be going there again this year!   (Hopefully for the July 4th celebration they have! It was awesome there!!!)

 

Everything else is just normal for now.  (Hope it stays that way for a while!!!!)  Normal is good….whatever “normal” is!
