Summary:

Week 1- Gave myself a mid-March deadline to finish the 3^rd draft of my historical fiction middle grade novel.  The kids went back to school and I wrote away.

Week 2– It rained sub jobs.  I took two for the week.  That meant I had to do all my writing in just three days. I did it.

Week 3– I took 2 sub jobs again, but this week the kids had off Monday, so I only had 2 days to do all my writing.  I did it!

Week 4– Same as week 3.  Whew!  Tired, but I managed to work, parent, and write. Then I spent all weekend cleaning the house and catching my breath

Week 5– Tired, tired, tired.  I admire anyone who can teach full time, parent, and write.  I think I would become evil if I tried to do all three full-time.

****   Supernatural-Wow! Some awesomely tense episodes this month.

****   Battlestar Galactica-1^st episode blew me away. The rest have been okay.

*** ½ Friday Night Lights

*** ½ Heroes

***     The O.C.- A mix of entertaining stuff with really, really silly bits.

***     Gilmore Girls- I have major concerns about the direction of this season.
