I'm Still Here

Hello all : )
Sorry I haven't written in awhile.  :(  But, do not fear, I have a good excuse.  As you all probably know, I am doing NaNoWriMo and it has been taking up a lot of my free time.  Add to that I still have the never ending supply of school work.  Oh, and choir, and random birthdays that keep sneaking up on me.  Not to mention the fact that our dishwasher has broken down, and we are washing all the dishes by hand, with no immediate sign of relief.  (groans under the tremendous weight)
Ok, so things are not that bad.  All those things are true, but I am actually doing pretty well on my "quota", as I call it.  Of course one must take into account, that I have been getting up at five o'clock in the morning for the last few weeks.  For all those that are inturested here is my average daily schedule, (I say average because being a home shooler my personal schedule is subject to change) ;P

5:00 AM - fall out of bed, stumble around till I find the bathroom, so I can get ready for the day
5:30 AM - creep out to the kitchen trying not to wake anybody up, to get started on my school work.  Recently I have been restarting the fire in the fireplace to.
6:15(ish) AM - Momma gets up, marking the end of my quite mourning
7:00 AM - Mommy wakes up my oldest sister, because she has to go to bible collage in the mornings.  This marks the "general awakening", where miscellaneous family members start getting up
7:30 AM - finish my school work, and some times get on the computer, also I useally have breakfast around this time
7:50 AM - my older sister is heading off to school
8:00 AM - I go out to the barn to take care of the animals,
8:30 AM - I start writing, 

( now here it starts getting unpredictable, the only thing I can say foreshore is that I will be carrying my notebook around all day, writing when ever I get a chance.  Only once have I failed to reach my "quota", and the next day I wrote a page extra.)

8:00 PM - I start thinking of bed time, and rapping up what ever I'm doing, (probably writing)
8:30 PM - I get ready for bed
9:00 PM - this is suppose to be the time I'm go to bed, but usually I don't make it
10:30 to 10:45 PM - this is the time I usually go to bed, this is also the time I have set time aside to talk to God,
11:00 PM - I am probably asleep, (or wishing I was)


So that is pretty much how my day goes.  There is of course the fact that all the time between 8:30 in the morning and 8:00 at night is missing.  But that is the time of the day that I have vary little control over, and it is constantly changing.


Well my time is almost up so I'll have to say good-by for now
Have a blessed day

Fallen Not Forgotten

My dad was on the computer last night listening to his favorite songs, and finding some new ones. Me and my older sister were making suggestions, and enjoy all the good music. We came across this one, that we all really liked, and I thought I'd share it with you.  It's by Ray Boltz.



(the video stopped working)

Hope you enjoyed it,
Have a blessed day,
Morgan J

P.S.  I'm thinking of changing my name, any suggestions?
