I babysat all weekend. Whew! I am not ready to be a mother, let's just say that. On Saturday, they didn't take a nap, because Liam was insecure without Mom and Dad here. To add to that, they weren't listening to me at all. Thunder kept them up on Sunday afternoon, so no nap there. We went to church Saturday night, and I'm convinced Liam was going slightly insane from sleep deprivation, because he was getting his "loony eyes" and saying in a monotone voice, "Good afternoon. Are you a scientist? No. Good afternoon..." ect. He was actually quoting Up, where Russel was at Mr. Fredrickson's door saying, "Good afternoon. Are you in need of any assistance, sir?" Except he couldn't say that. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that he was doing that for ten minutes after church. When my parents came home Sunday evening, they had bought us gifts. They bought me two books. An old version of Andersen's Fairytales and Master of Middle-Earth, which is kind of going deeper into Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. Overall, I'm just not ready to be a mother. The thing with motherhood is that you get the kids one by one, while with babysitting you get all of them dumped on you at once. Motherhood is so all-consuming. I didn't have time to do anything until the kids went to bed. Not even nap-time worked. But, I loved my siblings, anyway.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
