Keeping Your Sanity? by Donna
Me: "The blog this week is supposed to be about keeping your sanity."
Him: "Ha ha ha ha ha."
Me: "What's so funny?"
Him: "You. Sane."
Me: "I think I'm handling it all pretty well."
Him: *spits coffee out through nose coughing*
Me: "There's a lot of pressure writing on deadline."
Him: "Are you going to tell them how you picked off every scrap of nail polish the day after you paid $40 for a manicure?"
Me: "No."
Him: "How about how the dogs are all sleep deprived because you get up at all hours of the night to write?"
Me: "They eventually went back to bed without me."
Him: "The half empty Diet Coke cans all around the house? The chocolate?"
Me: "Chocolate is very important."
Him: "You ate a LOT of chocolate."
Me: *not going to deny this*
Him: "What about how you cried over the dead prairie dog?"
Me: "It was sad. He was a brave scout just trying to find the new country for his family in that field across the road. And then he got ran over." *blinks away tears*
Him: "You went ten minutes out of your way to work because you thought the prairie dogs would start digging under the road now and cause a giant sink hole."
Me: "That really happened. I saw it on the internet. The woman crashed her car into the sink hole when the road collapsed."
Him: "Then there was that night two days before your deadline when you had that total meltdown. You said it was too hard and you couldn't do it."
Me: "Sometimes it is really hard. The hardest thing I've ever done."
Him: "But you did it."
Me: *smiles*
Him: "Even if you were batsh*t crazy."
Me: "By the way, I have the revision notes back from my editor and I have a new deadline."
Him: "Oh no."
Me: "I'm just going to get a manicure... and then I'll start."
Him: *rolls eyes* "I'll go to the store for some chocolate."
Him: "Ha ha ha ha ha."
