You All Should Start A Betting Pool On How Long I Stick With This
Friday, October 2, 2015 at 10:23AM In an attempt to get back into the blogging habit, I am shamelessly copying Joyce by participating in the 31 Day Challenge using the writing prompts from Five Minute Friday. It is important to note:
- I have not read through the 31 Day challenge AT ALL so if I’m doing it wrong, that’s why.
- I may or may not use the writing prompts every day. I’m going to start with them, and then we’ll see how it goes.
- I’ve already missed the first day, so I’m going to use BOTH prompts today. You may interpret that as genius or laziness.
The prompt for yesterday was Calling and the prompt for today is Family. Setting my timer for 5 minutes and …
If I were feeling terribly spiritual I’d go with that kind of calling and apply it to my family, but I’m not so I’m going to talk about actually calling. Like on the phone. I like to talk on the phone. I especially like it when I’m tackling an unpleasant chore because talking distracts me from scrubbing or folding laundry and makes it fun. Some of my family members are good about talking on the phone. My mom is always up for a chat and if I can catch my sister when she isn’t shuttling kids to activities, she will talk with me for a while.
My kids?
Not so much. Reagan does a pretty good job, but she’s so busy between work and school and coaching high school Slam Poetry teams that it’s hard to get her for more than a few minutes. I try though because I just love to hear her voice. Texting is fine, but doesn’t fulfill my mama need to hear my kid.
Hayden, on the other hand, is phone phobic. It’s killing me. He will answer the phone if I call, but then I just get monosyllabic answers to my questions and I can just tell that he’s dying to get off. I’m sure that’s typical of boys as his dad and my dad are the same but I’m just dying for a meaty conversation with that kid. Makes me anxious to see him in person!
Five minutes are up and I’m not done, but I’m going to stick to the rules today because I actually do have things to do.
Until tomorrow … or not. ;)

So excited you're joining the fun! I'm sure it will be a lot by
mid-October, but I do feel like it's great exercise for my writing muscle.
Have a great weekend!'
