What Carly had to say on Friday, January 22nd, 2010
Sorry to post this late and sorry not to be original, but as I said yesterday, insanity here! My deadline, I have a sinus infection, my oldest has Bronchitis, and on and on and on! 
But GREAT news for my oldest who got into her first choice college a few days ago for a January (not September start!) More insanity and more things to consider. But we’ll take it!

HAPPY FRIDAY!
Carly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

Congrats to oldest, Carly! I feel your insanity. We leave at oh-dark tomorrow for a 1400 mile trek to the east coast of Florida followed by a 2-week cruise of the Caribbean, South and Central Americas, and then home after that 1400 mile trek back. I haven’t started packing.
In the meantime, I finished my revisions, sent them off, and now have line edits. Guess what I’ll be doing in the car for the next two days!?!
Good luck on everything! See ya’ll in a couple of weeks.

A GC is never an unoriginal gift :)

Congrats to your daughter.
My oldest daughter had some motivation issues her senior year of high school and almost didn’t graduate. My husband and I decided she wasn’t ready to go away to college until she grew up a bit and became more responsible. So we enrolled her in the local community college for a year. WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS. There is nothing worse than having an 18-year-old living in your house when she doesn’t want to be there, taking classes she hates because her awful parents, who know nothing, wouldn’t let her go away to the school she really wanted (regardless of the fact she didn’t have had the grades to get accepted). Oh….and she’s totally miserable all because of me!
On the bright side, if all goes as planned, she’s leaving for Pittsburgh in October! And while part of me is sad, a bigger part of me is ready to start packing!
Comment
Oooo congratulations to your oldest, Carly! That is something to consider, but happy news she got in!
And you poor dear, I hope you feel better soon!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Congrats to your daughter!!
A January start is a good thing in many ways- it gives the poor kid a chance to relax before the craziness starts. Mine took that first semester off and was all the better for it. Many of her friends did and had better luck than those starting in September. They were more prepared for it.
My Spawn has good news and I can’t share it yet.

Hope you guys get to feeling better soon! My son didn’t start his first semester of College untin January but it has worked out ok so far. He did take some classes at a local college for a while but he is still a little behind on where he should be! He does quite well except for Calculus and he keeps dropping that class but he has to have it for his degree!
What a great prize!
Everyone have a great weekend!
