Without fail. Lately I'll take anything I can get though, even going so far as to just write in the middle of the night b/c I'm having a tough time of it!

Do you get frustrated with your life (and family) because of it, sometimes? I mean, you love your life (family, kiddos...) like I do. But doesn't it get like 'LEAVE ME ALONE, ALREADY!' or 'JUST A HALF HOUR ALONE TO MEET WITH MY MUSE. SHE'S BEEN CALLING MY NAME FOR THREE DAYS!' lolS.A.
