The Scribble Pad

Random, self-promoting thoughts by author Roslyn Carrington, aka Simona Taylor

I write literary novels under my real name, Roslyn Carrington, and wayyy too hot Arabesque romance novels under the pen name Simona Taylor. I live in Trinidad with my partner, Rawle, and our toddlers, Riley and Megan. Ah, the pleasures and pressures of being parents to those two! There’s also my full-time Public Relations job, the aquarium full of albino sharks, the dog, the garden, the obsession with cooking (the more fattening the dish, the better), the addiction to the comic art by the likes of Keith Knight and Aaron McGruder, and the chocolate compulsion. I fill whatever time I have left dreaming about romance and writing.

Florrie Nightingale

It's been ages since I blogged, but at least I've got a good reason. Both kids AND their dad have been sick with gastroenteritis all week,and I don't need to tell you what THAT entails. Been slaving away cleaning up gallons of projectile spew and baby shit. And it's exhausting, because a sick child is a demanding child. but, thank God, They seem to be over the worst, because Riley is once again yelling at me, Mummy do this, Mummy do that, and Megan is dancing and singing to herself again. So that's good.

But they're so thin. The only thing that's still big on Megan is her bubble butt, and it would take a famine to diminish that! As for Riley, well, he was never exactly a big boy. At the age of 3, he normally weighs about 27 pounds. Try to imagine what he looks like with 5 less.

Poor kids.

Wow, Im so sorry about your family being sick. I'm glad to hear that they are on their way to feeling better. And poor, you, doesn't sound as though you've been having the best time.

Thanks for your kind words.
