Low key

I know I am off this month, and thank goodness! With New York at the end of January and two dance competitions in February I thought I would do a low key birthday for Abigail. 

I thought four 7yr olds spending the night would be low key.  I must have forgotten about how sleepovers went as a child.  They are anything but low key! I can sum up the night quickly; the girls played games, made an art project, ate sweets, danced and sang.  Oh wait that doesn’t sound bad, but I must add; all those things had fighting, screaming and crying through out all activities!  Of course there was lots of laughing and fun, but wow how girls stay friends is a mystery!

I believe that parents today, including me, spoil our kids.  So I blame myself, but I have no solution!  I simply love my kids and I will always try to do what is best for them and our family.

I am very busy this month but I always find time to check my email.  I know the agent told me 4 to 6 weeks response time.  I just keep checking, habit I guess. It still eats at me about the other agents who requested some material and replied so quickly with form rejections.  Luckily, a blog I follow written by an agent intern had some thoughts on agent responses.  It helped.  Check it out! http://crzywritergrl.blogspot.com/2011/02/writing-translations.html?spref=tw
