The last two weeks of a draft or an edit are rough. This is how my day goes:
Up at 6:30 to teach in the morning.
Preschool pick up at 12:30.
Bribe my son into taking a nap. My daughter is younger, translation: more compliant for now.
Remind my son 8-10 times to take a nap.
Write while my kids nap (2 hours if I'm lucky).
Think of a moderately creative (emphasis on moderately) activity that usually results in a huge mess and requires 2 Diet Cokes.
Make dinner = How often can you eat tacos, spaghetti, and stir fry? In two weeks, that would be 4.3 times each.
A comes home & takes over, because it is the last two weeks.
Write until 12 or 1 in the morning.
Get up at 6:30 in the morning the next day.

So clearly, I have a secret. Because I actually require a lot of sleep, so this is a nightmarish schedule.
Here it is…

The Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich.
It has more calories than an entire meal, and I won't tell you how many I've eaten in the last 2 weeks.
But I will tell you that they sell them at 7-11 & Long's drugstore.
