What's Stopping Me?

This post is very picture heavy so beware!

The month of November is not over, but I am so done. I hit a few road blocks and I would love to share them with you.

My first obstacle was always a known quantity. I am a stay at home homeschooling mom so my children are my number one distraction.



You already know that the Renaissance Faire stole one of my weekends.

Fully armored combat by our knights.

To the yield not the death, so we can hit them again next weekend.
 
Father and son hugging isn't that cute.

The girls have to help the Knights defeat their most challenging foe...the rope.

Next I was kidnapped and forced to go to Disney. With a wonderful friend and her family.

Alexis was so happy to get this horse.

Ooooo, Ahhhhhh,

Murmur, murmur, murmur.

Then last, but certinally not least we have Thanksgiving. We were blessed to get to see friends from out of state.

Rowan was trying to tell me something, but he was so cute I had to take a pic.

Too cool

The real star of the show.

Of course there was the Black Friday sales. My sister and I were able to spend a lot of time together and we got some great deals. There was not much crazyness where we were or we were just lucky enough to miss it.

Moving on up!

So last Thursday night I waited in line for 3 and a half hours, not that bad for a black Friday deal, and got my very first laptop. We have never been able to swing it before, but at the supper low price and realizing that I really need it we couldn't pass it up. I am supper excited. I am thinking that I am still out of the running for NaNoWriMo, but at least I will have better equipment for next year.

Speaking of NaNo I am so far behind that the only light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. According to NaNo I should be at about 40K, but I have not even reached 20K yet. I really like the story, but that pace in November is just not going to happen this year. I am going to continue writing on it and try do about 1000 words a day. This is a much better pace for me and about what I have been doing on the days when I can write.
