Is it me or is it because of...

This totally describes my week so far.
Too. Many. Zombies.
By phone. By email. In person. They are everywhere, trying to keep me from working through my manuscript revisions.
But I'm not gonna let them stop me, oh no siree. I have the tools I need on hand (Diet Coke, a red pen and salted licorice) to ensure I get on with this heinous task and complete it by month's end.
Of course, if I stopped answering the phone, checking email and maybe, just maybe, ignored the doorbell...
No, I can't ignore the doorbell. It could be someone delivering a fabulous contest win!
Laugh all you want, but I've already had two fabulous prizes arrive by courier this week, one of which was a prize pack including an orange tie-dyed t-shirt, size small.
Yeah me, but what were they thinking? I couldn't even get the thing over my head. Hey, it might make a nice party hat with a few alterations.
I just can't let the zombies get the better of me this week, and everything will be fine. Right?
Ugh. How do you keep your zombies at bay?

My zombies are called Guitar Hero and Curly (they're my sons) *sigh* I'm thinking of putting a sign up on my door saying "Do not disturb on pain of death"
It wouldn't make a difference though. This morning Gizmo Guy woke me up to tell me Guitar Hero had bought his girlfriend over so I could drive them both to put in resumes at a Staples that's about to open up and is having a job fair. Oh, and before that can I take him to get his hair cut? Add to that the optometrist's appt I have to take Curly at 11. So I think Zombies have taken over my house - if you hear of any ways to keep Zombies at bay, let me know, will you? I'm desperate too!
How do I keep zombies at bay? I turn on Family Channel. They are suckers for The Mickey Mouse Club House Animated Show. And I feed them, often, cause if I don't the one called Sumo growls at me.
I do screen my calls though. I can't answer the phone. Nine out of ten times it's zombies "BRAIINNNNS", and I have to tell them I have no brains to spare this month, and then they go on "BRAAIIINNNNS!"
*sigh*
There's no winning.
Oh Leah, zombies or no, if your son gets a job at Staples, will you be able to take advantage of his employee discount? LOL
Amy! ROFL over the "BRAAIIIINNNNS!" And there I was thinking they were trying to sell me windows and doors. ;)
Too late. Zombies ate my brains...
Oh no, Maureen! And we were counting on you to organize those 4 gazillion Golden Opp score sheets...
:::searches Hallmark for a "sorry about the zombies getting your brains" card:::
I don't try to keep them at bay. I just turn on the Michael Jackson music and start dancing. That could explain my lack of getting things done.
That also explains all the dancing zombies in your living room. LOL
