    Great poem. Don't you wish you had invented the sticky note? And now you don't even need them as paper, just put one on your computer screen! Love ya M

    I bow my head to the sticky notes. They rule! The best part is crumpling them up and throwing away. How does that work on a screen?

      Throwing away because I accomplished something.

    So much to remember! I feel your brain pain. I hate it when I write a note but then it doesn't make sense to me later. That's aggravating!
    Love this poem!

    I don't know how to do sticky notes on the computer, but I think I need to. I love 'em, especially the colored ones, in real life! Fun!

    I love your poem! The sticky note is the greatest mom invention ever! I don't know who created them, but they must have been invented for busy moms who don't have the time or ability (and sometimes the desire) to remember everything. Personally, I wouldn't survive without my sticky notes!

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

solsc: tears of joy 16/31

March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! My daughters are going to be four in less than two months.  How that times goes so fast is beyond me.  We have thousands of photographs uploaded.  We took hours and hours of video.   We made DVDs for the first year of their life.  Then we stopped.   For some reason, our "anybody can make a video" in iMovie on the Mac computer wouldn't work.  (An error regarding the size of the video or lack of space on the computer.)  So, the video transfer to DVD didn't happen.  Videos waited on the computer.  It's a permanent item on our to-do list to make the DVDs.  Every break I had from school, my husband reminded me of my one and only task:  figure out how to make the DVDs....
