Tag, I'm it!

I've been tagged for a meme from Mentor Texts to share 10-15 professional goals for the summer. That's quite a lot, considering my ambitions are usually no more lofty than getting everyone to bed on time -- myself included.

Okay, so here goes:

1. Finish work on my rhyming kids' book, write the query letter and get that sucker off to literary agents and editors;
2. Try not to spend the entire summer fretting about rejection letters;
3. Pack up the apartment yet again for a move;
4. Find a new apartment that's big enough for all four of us PLUS our shtoof PLUS all the other shtoof still in storage in California;
5. Spend as much time as I can with a very sick relative during this person's final months;
6. Try not to spend the entire summer fretting about the very sick relative;
7. Use Seth's longer daycamp hours to get more shopping and chores done;
8. Line up some fabulous contributors for the Poetry Foundation (email me if you have article suggestions);
9. Pull more weight over at Viewpoints, where I've been slacking lately;
10. Meet Kelly in July at long last and begin work on the BEST EVER Cybils!

And, oh yeah, try and relax a bit. Without fretting.

And it's my turn to tag:

Hi Anne,

Thanks for the tag! I'm swamped today getting ready for a trip, but I'll try to respond this weekend. Food for thought, indeed...
