Happy New Year.<br /><br />Clarissa, yes, the older your children get the less time they want to spend with their parents, or at least that's been my experience. This said, sometimes meals are the only time I have to find out what's going on in my children's lives. I don't think you'll be disappointed by the four day a week meal thing. Best of luck and happy New Year.<br /><br />Melissa, thanks for stopping in, and I appreciate the new following. I'm surprised you read my comments. I always thought people skimmed over them, LOL.

Family is very important. All would be right with the world if I could only drill that into my children's heads.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for your post.<br /><br />Botanist, appreciate the visit. I like your outlook on the whole rejection thing. No doubt I'll have some serious scars by the time the query process is over. Hey, at least I'll be a veteran. The experience will do me good, at least that's what I'm telling myself.<br /><br />Claire, welcome. It won't be long now. A little more than a month to go and you'll be a mommy. I remember that time like it was yesterday. I used to pray for the baby to come early when I was far along as you. I just wanted the baby to be here.(: I'll keep my eyes peeled for your post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501918398545296619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623329525857855745.post-2868769297529825082011-12-28T08:59:55.079-05:002011-12-28T08:59:55.079-05:00Happy New Year!

I've been thinking about posting mine soon for a few days now, once I figure out exactly how much I want to do. I'm with you on family first; with expecting my first child in mid February I'm planning on keeping any writing goals simple and easy to fit around her needs. That and keeping up with eating healthy, exercising, and getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight.<br /><br />Good luck with your querying, may 2012 be a good year for you and your family.Claire Govertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186520237984343706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623329525857855745.post-6689475255717408632011-12-27T19:21:46.958-05:002011-12-27T19:21:46.958-05:00Happy New Year to you, too!

I like to look on my rejections with pride, as evidence that I'm actually in this for real and not just talking about it. I find that takes some of the sting out and lets me look more objectively for reasons <i>why</i>, so I can do better next time.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623329525857855745.post-23558797877715079322011-12-27T16:20:41.055-05:002011-12-27T16:20:41.055-05:00Happy New Year to you as well.

Seems like yesterday when I was holding my youngest son's hands as we walked to his school for the very first time. Now he's away at college!!! I'm guessing that my accompanying him to classes wouldn't go over too well with him now. Ha!<br /><br />*Family is not as often, but family is forever*<br /><br />Have a great New Year, Andrea.
