...here we go.

HOW does one do it? High school basketball season starts today, tho football season still isn't over. So I have to go to the football games on Friday nights to watch my girl cheer (not that it's a chore, it's just a pain getting ready and spending 2 hours there), and her first basketball game is today, and I watch her play (senior starter, this is finally HER year, whoo!) then watch her cheer for the boys' team at least 'til after the cheerleaders' halftime dance. They play bball 2 or 3 times a week, so there goes another 9 hours.

Then there's Thanksgiving. I don't have it at my house, we go to my mom's 6 hours away, but I have to bring a cooler full of food and certain ingredients she won't have and ZOMG I'll be NaNo-ing. And THAT's what's freaking me out!

How does one NaNo and do football and basketball seasons and Thanksgiving and also remember their mother's birthday and remember to feed the cats and bathe and get out of bed in the morning? It's too much! And yet I've won NaNo 3 times, once even with a book I'm proud of. (The other two are still WIPs.) I can do this. I CAN. I'm the Little Engine That Could. It's gonna kill me tho. *thunk* <--that was the sound of me dying.

Good luck with trying to keep up with life while having to attend all the fb and bb games. When daughter was in jr high and high school, she was quite the swimmer. Swimming is (shocker) a winter sport. I spent all my December weekends before Christmas at championship swim meets. Get stuff done? Ha! Only if it fit in my backpack.

I believe this is what is called "an embarrassment of riches."

You never sleep, you can do it then. What about MEEEEEEEEEEE? ;)

OMG! And imagine that this person who invented Nano was AMERICAN and chose NOVEMBER for this challenge? Was this person a HERMIT? I don't even have Thanksgiving and I can't manage to find time for Nano with the lead-up to Christmas! What happened to a nice normal quiet month like April or something???

Good luck with fitting everything in! (if anyone can, you can!) ;-)
