Make it Stop!

I hate to be a whiner but: Someone Make it Stop!

So, we started May with another eleven inch snowfall. Just before the snow my husband found out that he was indeed going to have to sit a jury. For one and a half to two weeks. So, now I need to take care of all the stuff I normally take care of plus a lot of the stuff that he normally takes care of.

It wouldn't be so bad but my oldest daughter's school is on the way home from his work and with his schedule he can pick her up and only waste an extra five minutes in doing so. On the other hand, when I need to go pick her up after school it is a twenty minute drive either way. So, including getting the younger daughter ready for the ride, that's about an hour a day gone on Mon.-Fri.

My writing pace had already slowed for a variety of reasons. Now it's slower still since I'm doing all my normal stuff, some of my hubbie's stuff, putting in this year's garden, and slowly working on my next story as well. It's maybe another week before this one is finished. I'm using a divergent setting here so I'll wait and not toss out any teasers on this one.
