eight grown adult women spend half an hour trying to take a picture that had all nine dogs in it

November 24: For National Heidi Day, we ended the night by building a blanket fort and watching “Big Trouble in Little China” with wine and while wearing cartoon animal face masks. We are adults.

November 25: I watched eight grown adult women spend half an hour trying to take a picture that had all nine dogs in it. They did not succeed.

November  26:

November 27: The kids like to play a game where they ask you your name, ask you to name the part of their face they are pointing at, and to ask what they are holding in their hands. This way, they can try to get me to say “Ms. Heather knows nothing”. But a lot of them manage to ruin the joke on the first question by asking me “Ms. Heather, whats your name?”

November 28: A Mission Graduates student from Bryant died in a car accident over the weekend. Everyone is trying to raise money for her mother because the girl’s body won’t be released until she can pay for the expenses. Who does that to a person who just lost her ten year old daughter?

November 29: All the parents actually remembered it was pool day today and they packed their kids with their swimsuits and permission slips. Unfortunately, about a third of them neglected to give their children towels to dry off with after.

November 30: 50,000 words! I won NaNoWriMo. Now I’m to go to bed and dream about this book getting published and then made into a movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Dame Judy Dench, and Simon Pegg.
