I yield...

... it has only taken me ten days but I finally reached my limit and I yield.  It is not possible to write a romantic scene with Spiderman- Batman- Joker-Ben Ten- Kung Fu Panda- the Penguins- or whatever other totally annoying boy-child game is playing in the background.

I have started. Restarted. Started again..and again...and again.  And always, always, there is just no way to have anything even remotely coherent... much less sexy... appear on the page.

Send him outside to play?  Great idea.  I firmly believe in lots of outdoor play for children and adults alike.  Except he can't be left alone out there.  So that means... oh yeah... I have to go out.  And I can't take the laptop... cause it has no working battery.  Also he plays in water.  And leaps out of trees.

It's okay. Little A won't be little forever.  And I love our time together.  I just wanted to finish JUST THIS ONE frellin' BOOK!

OK, rant over.  Resume your normal lives.
