Holy Interviewing Toledo! And Parenting

And in exciting writing news...

I had my very first interview ever! We're talking first ever. Online, offline, in outer space....

The delightful Becky Levine did an interview with me for a very cool online kidlit journal, the Edge of the Forest. Here's the interview.

And here's the link to Becky's entertaining blog. Entertaining AND full of good advice. I'm referring to when she tells everyone to run out in December to buy I So Don't Do Mysteries. :)

And now back to the previous blog. Here's the deal. I didn't take the homework up to school. I didn't save Child #3. Yikes.

And here's what happened:

-Child #3 arrives home from school. He is displeased his mother didn't deliver his homework.
-He is, however, pleased to find homemade banana bread.
-After his snack, Child #3 organizes his binder. He, then, completes his homework for the next day and carefully packs it.

Okay. I still don't know whether or not I should have saved this wonderful, delightful, awesome child of mine. It does seem as though maybe I've been doing a little too much saving lately. Anyway, we've moved on. And today's chatter was mostly about swim team and the word "postdate."

Who knows? Maybe this was a teeny tiny slice of a life lesson?

For both of us.
