I'm in trouble

I just realized I am in trouble. I have slacked off on my NaNo writing to the point I am now on day 5 and only have a bit over 5,500 words. That is HALF of the count I should be at today. Thankfully though, I think I can salvage it. Them words was wrote in one evening so if I can turn it around and write another 5,500 words tonight before bed I'll be on target. ::crosses fingers::

I need to buckle down and do it, would be soooooo nice to have a novel I can say I wrote and I know I can do it. Long before NaNo even started I had wrote an 80,000 word novel in 30 days, so I know it's something I am capable of pulling off. Of course, that was BEFORE I became a full time caregiver and had the luxury of locking myself in my room all day and not being disturbed as my parents and sister and bro in law played pinhocle (sp?) at the kitchen table.

So - tonight my heroine gets POed at the school principal (going to be a fun scene to write), and I figure out what's up with the hero and maybe even the sparky stripper.
