Taking On A New Role

To Fellow RB4U Members and Readers:  Due to unforseen circumstances, Molly/Kenzie is stepping down from her regularly scheduled Blog Day.  M/K regrets she will no longer entertain you on the 19th of every month with her various commentary on certain topics, witty or ho-hum as they may seem.  She will be happy to fill in at the last minute, in the case of a cancellation, so rest assured, she will still be around:)

So What Are These 'Unforseen' Circumstances?  #1:

My adorable granddaughter is now two, and since I have been her full time caregiver for 6 months now, my online and writing time has been severely limited.  My laptop refuses to accept our new router which arrived in March, and though it was 'fixed', my daughter did not 'take note' of what the tech did, so it still refuses to work for me.  I'm going to have to call them again and this time not leave home five minutes before he arrives, lol!  It's rather hard to answer email or check social media when Miss Itsy-Bitsy is trying to 'help'.

My daughter works nights, so she is only 'Mommy' for a few hours a day, more when she has two days off in a row.  Plus, Alex goes to her dad's every weekend; this is when 'Ma-Ma' or 'Ga-ma' (as she calls me) spends the weekend cleaning house, catching up online, and spending some 'Me' time.

#2:

I did manage to submit two stories this year:  The Sci-Fi romance I finished in NaNoWriMo and a short story.  The Alien-Meets-Human was rejected a few months back, and still no word from Publisher #2.  I continue to work sporadically on the sequel, plus several other unfinished wips and cleaning up my short story, which is due at the end of this month, and will hopefully be self-published in my local writer's group anthology this fall.  I will definitely let you know when it's available, as well as news of any other rejections/acceptances!


#3:

See this handsome lad?  This would be my youngest, known as 'Youngling' on social media:)  Due to a rough year in 3rd grade and dealing with a small bullying issue on top of his ADD issues, I have decided to home school him next year (as if I don't already have enough on my plate, lol!).  I hope this proves to be a good decision; if it doesn't work out, I can always send him back to public school.  I would appreciate any prayers offered up for his educational needs and my sanity for the coming year!

Finally, in closing, I want to echo Cynthia Arsuaga, who 'stole' my original post (just kidding!  Seriously, click the link and read it again, only this time put my name on it and skip the 2nd paragraph, lol!) and thank everyone at RB4U for their friendship, patience, support, and all the cheerleading you've done for me in the past several years.  Like Cynthia, I've had to make some tough choices this year, but I'll still be around.  So thank you all:  Marianne Stephens, Rose Anderson, Paris Brandon, Cynthia Arsuaga, Tina Donahue, Desiree Holt, Gemma Juliana, Melissa Keir, Fran Lee, Sandra K. Marshall, Cara Marsi, Polly McCrillis, Nicole Morgan, Cindy Spencer Pape, Suzanne Rock, Janice Seagraves, R. Ann Siracusa, Jean Hart Stewart, Bobbye Terry, Renee Vincent.  Best wishes to all of you!
