The Erotic Writings of Dakota Trace

I know, I know, I'm just absolutely terriable about updating this blog. I looked back and realized it's been over a month since I've posted anything on this blog. For that I do apologize. But what's there to say, I'm a busy mom with three kids, I'm going to school full time, taking accelerated classes in Web Design and I've got two WIP going on, a full manscript to edit and a short to write for an anthology. No, I'm not busy! I'm freakin insane!

So what am I doing up at ten minutes one in the morning. Enjoying the quiet, and watching over my youngest daughter. She's come down with some kind of stomach bug and has been sick for the past 24 hours. I thought perhaps she might go to school in the morning but alas, she just woke up an hour ago and vomited again.  So school's been ruled out for tomorrow. I worry about the swine flu that's going around but her doctor assures me that that it's more than likely just a good old fashioned stomach flu. Thankfully she's not running a fever or anything. Just has the upset stomach giving her hell.  She was good today, she managed to keep hydrated and even ate a piece of  toast for breakfast, a small cup of mac and cheese for lunch and a few french fries...and kept it all down. I think when I woke her to go to the bathroom though I jostled her tummy a bit and that's why she got sick again. But it wasn't much, so I'm assuming what she ate and drank earlier is staying in her system. She's once more sleeping and I'm praying tomorrow will be better.With that said, I think I'm going to go and try to lay down again..we'll see what happens, maybe just maybe I can sleep.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I get cold just looking at this one. This is the view I'm seeing on a daily basis because it's of my own deck.  I don't know about you but I'm about sick of the snow and the freezing cold.  I keep asking myself, tell me again why I live in Iowa? Oh, that's right. I grew up here. You'd think I'd be used to it by now.  But with record breaking lows this week without the windchill and more snow forcasted for tonight, all I can think  about is going some place warm. Perferably with lots of sand and sun. 

I'm so proud of my son.  Last night was his first Jazz band concert.  He's been talking of nothingelse since he first found out there was a jazz band at his junior high and playing the trombone, he naturally wanted to join. So I've heard about it for the last two years, nonstop.  Well he finally realized his dream of playing with the jazz band and I'll have to admit the group did a kick ass job last night. Other than a little techinical difficulty with a symbol ride stand, everything went off with out a hitch. I couldn't be prouder of my son.  Way to go Michael!

I just got some exciting news from my publisher, eXcessica.  My newest e-book is coming out in print.  An Officer and An Italian can be purchased through eXcessica now.  And as a bonus, Barely There,  Sergio's sexy older brother, Nicolai is included as a free read!  So please be sure to check it out.
