I found some writing prompts and then didn’t use any of them.

I did not do much of anything worth telling you about today, so I hit the internet for some Writing Prompts. I found 52 Writing Prompts to Inspire Your Next Blog Post, and Over 1,000 Writing Prompts for Students, and Monthly Writing Prompts for Bloggers, so theoretically I should be able to come up with at least enough to cover the rest of November, right?

What I’m going to do now, though, is watch “Almost Famous” for the 4,398th time with my husband.

Good day to you.

This does not bode well

This afternoon I mentioned to Poppy that I was thinking about not participating in NaBloPoMo this year. In fact, I told her, I was thinking about shutting the blog down altogether. She did not care for that idea. “Write about me every day,” she said. I don’t know that I’ll do that, but I’m going to give NaBloPoMo a shot at least.

Happy November!

Who am I, Admiral Stockdale?

I need to change all of my social media bios to read “former homeschool mom” or “existential crisis in progress” or something because as of Monday both of my little birdies are in public school.

This is Pete’s third year going to school and Poppy’s first, and neither of them have had any trouble adjusting thus far. I, however, may be another story.

We started homeschooling in 2008, when Poppy was a very small fry and Pete was an even smaller fry. I know I existed and had an identity before then, but I’m having trouble remembering what that was like. So far my post-homeschooling career seems to be Laundress, Leisurely Luncher and Crooner to Cats. Things could certainly be worse, but I’m hoping to expand my horizons somewhat over the next few months. Maybe I’ll even write here more than once a month. Stay tuned, I suppose.
