And now here's my youngest with a request that mirrors my own (although his asking skills need some work).



Ever wanted something so bad you threw a little fit to get it?

I once made chicken in mole sauce for dinner, explaining that it was "Chocolate for dinner." My kids weren't impressed. :)

You know, I feel exactly the same way when we can't have brownies for dinner. I hope he got some for dessert? :) Btw - he's very cute!

Congrats to Loree!

I like how you taunted him for the camera. hehe. He was soooo sad!

I'm sure I have thrown fits for what I wanted. Lately I've been wanting more sleep cuz the puppy keeps waking us up at 4 am...

Must be the moon, Lindsay, my pup's done the same thing the last couple of nights.
Jessica, your son's obviously inherited your chocoholism. LOL

LOL Terri, NO, I did not reward his behavior with chocolate....even though it was the cutest thing ever! But I told him he's not allowed to behave like that when he wants something. Heh.

Jennifer, who wouldn't? *grin*

Jessica Nelson said…
Hahaaa, nice try, Connie!

Karen, I feel that way too. :-) Thanks!

Lindsay, you picked up on the taunting, huh? *wicked grin* I knew telling him no would make the fit funnier. lol I'm bad. Good luck with the puppy!

Aww! Give the kid some brownies! :) My middle kiddo wanted pancakes for lunch yesterday and she was pretty upset when we had biscuits and gravy instead.

Oh, this makes me laugh.

I'm glad my child isn't the only one who is completely devastated by minor things. Although....not getting a brownie for dinner is quite traumatic.

Jessica Nelson said…
But Linda...mine is FIVE. lol If it wasn't so cute, he'd be in big trouble for that little fit.

Cindy, I can totally understand that! lol

Katie...it never ends. LOL

LOL! Kinda picked up on the taunting thing. :)

What did you have for dinner, and did he eat it?

Now I want a brownie!

I'm with your son - BROWNIES! Hey, why not? I'm wondering if he ate dinner? haha...

Wow! Very excited to receive a signed copy of Stacy's book! Thanks! I'll get in touch.

He's so cute. Hope he gets what he wants when he asks nicely.

My favorite part is when he glances up at you at about 33 seconds like he wants to see if it's working. LOL.

Jeanette Levellie said…
Oh, I felt so sorry for the little guy. I would have whipped up a bunch of brownies and make them a part of my dinner, if he quit crying and said "please."

I'm such a pushover for a kids' tears.

We All Got to Learn to Do It Sometime

*grossness alert* We all have to learn to deal with doo-doo eventually. Consider me a newbie mom, but it never occurred to me that my son should be wiping himself until about a month before kindergarten. And then the flashbulb went on and I scrambled to teach him. One problem. He didn't want to. He's fastidious and doesn't like to make mistakes, so the thought of taking care of this daily chore literally reduced him to screaming and crying on the toilet. Basically, he didn't trust himself. He was afraid. Scared to get his hands dirty. Afraid he'd miss something. This is probably weird, but it made me think of us as writers. There comes a point where we have to "grow up" and trust ourselves. We can't always rely on a crit group, agent, or editor to wipe up our mess. I think this should be a part of maturation for every writer, that we can look at our work and be confident in our ability to clean it up. Not saying we'll make it perfect or that we won...

Work First, Play Later

I'm back! I had a wonderful time with my family. Thank you all for asking. :-) In 2009 my schedule evolved into a blog first/write later kind of thing. It happened that way because my husband began using the computer in the afternoons and evenings for his project, but now that I have a router, my schedule's changing. It's time to work first, play later. That means I do my chores/errands in the morning, write at naptime, and visit your wonderful blogs in the afternoons and evenings. So if I don't show up in the morning, don't be alarmed (if you even notice, lol). I'm just changing things up. I'm too exhausted in the evening to write, that's why. During the day I have way more energy to write but at night there's a fifty percent chance I won't do it because I'm so tired. When's the best time for you to write? I also need to shout out my awesome crit partner, Linda Glaz! Some of you may have met her at ACFW. She's a wonderful, faithful, ...

Melodramatic Mother

Mom, this one's for you. *wink* The other day we were on the phone and my mom was describing some of her ailments to me. She's normally a healthy person, but she does suffer from allergies and sinus issues. She's also a vivid person and this comes across in her language. In this case, she told me her pain was skewering up through her nose. Skewering. She never finished the description because I laughed. What a perfect word! Strong, to the point, I had an exact (if somewhat gross) image of what was happening. Do you have a vivid person in your life? Someone who thinks in ways you forget to? And in your WIP, are you using the strongest verb possible to convey EXACTLY what you mean?
