I just left my husband a message asking him to pick up chinese takeout cause today I started work at 4:00a.m. and I’m not sure I have the energy to make anything. The sink is full of dishes, the laundry pile is overflowing and the living room floor is...well...I’m sure it’s there somewhere underneath all these toys.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This is my life.

I keep reminding myself this race is a marathon, not a sprint. That all of the long hours of work, the sacrifice of sleep and the pain of rejection will be worth it. That one day I’m going to change that Writer to Author.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">One day.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But I think in the meantime I better get those dishes done.</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1274226983178022918-3287199036663359561?l=adriennemiller.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adrienne Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18427379553544191430noreply@blogger.com4
