Tired of Seeing Jul 7
Just stopping by to assure the breathlessly waiting public that I am, in fact, still alive. A combination of computer ennui, fall-semester-insanity and related follies have kept me from substantive posting. But hey, I got the site redesign started so…hey…that’s something, right? RIGHT?
So, how about a 1 minute family update to keep us all engaged? Ready, set, GO:
Little genius started kindergarten on August 1st. After some heinous mental/emotional breakdowns (on my part), her launch seems to be fairly successful so far. And wouldn’t you know it, the hippie school called YESTERDAY to offer us a spot. Sigh.
My brains are burnt out on work craziness, summer hell temperatures, and the hunt for some sidebar contract work to supplement our income. Right now, I live for the occasional Antiques Roadshow episode and/or even rarer late afternoon nap.
FF is suffering through a bout of bronchitis, courtesy of the little genius bringing home a cold bug from school within the first 2 weeks of the semester. Awesome.
Well, that’s about it for the 1 minute update. MORE SOON!
The Tipping Point
It seems that I can keep just so many balls in the air at a time, and when another gets tossed my way, I have to kick one of the others out, or risk dropping them all.
What in the hell is she talking about?
Well, I was trying to find some kind of appropriate metaphor to explain that finding those few precious, quiet, extra minutes to jot down a post every day has been totally eluding me. The kiddo brought home a nasty cold a few weeks ago, and shared it with me of course. And naturally, it turned into a miserable bout of bronchitis that lasted for about 2 weeks.
So anyway, I’m finally better, and trying to get caught up on everything. The house is a mess, I have a huge bunch of work projects to try and corral, and homework is of course an ongoing challenge. I actually hate not getting the chance to post regularly…it makes me feel mentally constipated! I have all these thoughts just running around that want to come out, and they get all backed up with no blog outlet! But hopefully things will settle down…at least until she brings home the next bug.
