Monday's Pick-me-up and a confession

If you've taken the time to visit my blog lately, you may have noticed I've dropped the ball--repeatedly.

I've always written my blogs about a month ahead, leaving a few blanks for spur of the moment posts or events. That way, I don't have to worry about them. Well, the last few weeks have shown me exactly what happens when I fall behind and am in the habit of not worrying.

Half written posts, unedited posts... oh my

I don't mind dropping the ball occasionally, even if this is a most embarrassing public dropping of the ball. I mean it happens. This is life. I am the sole caregiver and provider for 4 children, with a house, garden and my sanity to maintain. A few dropped balls is just a part of it. I've even been quoted as saying that I just try not to drop the same ball over and over again. Well. Plop. Plop. Plop. The same damn ball.

So you have my apologies and I swear, I'll try to continue to provide you with the witty, informative and enthralling posts which you've come to expect from me.

Is that laughing I hear?

Okay, for you, my friends, colleagues and peers: Your Monday Morning Pick-Me-Up.



And to show you I'm truly sorry, a twofor (sp?).

Love the pictures. ;)

It's easy to get sidetracked. There is always something going on. If anyone gets that, I do!

OK, so I couldn't get past the part where you said you used to write your blogs a MONTH IN ADVANCE! Are you kidding me? THAT'S some superwoman stuff right there. As a mother of 4, I know how it goes. Some days it just doesn't. Don't sweat it. No-one else will. BTW, how did he get stuck in the sand like that? And can we leave him there?

Shawna Thomas said...

Thanks Kaily!

You want him to stay in the sand? I have to confess I'm a little jealous of the sand. : )

I've been dropping the ball for the last two months, so I hear you! Great pics -- you're totally forgiven :).

Cari Quinn said...

*hugs* Lynne...you know I think you're superwoman, so I think you've been doing just fine. And the pics definitely clean the slate. ;D

See, I have a dirty mind. A very dirty mind. I figured his face is a certain height from the ground, right? Captured audience if you know what I mean. LOL.

Kaily, I like how you think!
