The Good and The Bad

The good news is I wrote a post yesterday, the bad news is my computer or blogger went haywire and it was deleted when I tried to post.

The good news is I tried to take the week off, the bad news is I was swamped with other work so it wasn't a vacation.

The good news is I sent out more queries and manuscripts, the bad news is they were all rejected. The good news is I'm not sitting around wondering about them, and I handled it well.

The bad news is I applied for some jobs, the good news is no one has called me back. Maybe it's the attitude.

The good news is I sent art samples out a few weeks ago, the bad news is I got my first rejection. However, the email form letter said I had talent. The great news is I got some unexpected inquiries about doing illustrations--and I didn't even have to hunt these people down, they found me.

Good Mother or Bad Mother
After a recent conversation with my son, I am trying to figure out if I have taught him the right things.

He wanted to sleep over a friend's house. The friend is a girl. They are both 17. I didn't think this was the great idea.

"Mom, why can't I sleep over L's?"
"Well, I just don't think that is a good idea."
"Why not?"
"Cause she's a girl, and your a boy, and I don't want to be a grandmother before I'm 40."
"Mom, that's not going to happen! First of all we are just friends, that's it," and they he added in a sing-song Angelic voice, "besides I know if you make the love you wear the glove!"
