Where to Start

There is really so much to say but I honestly don't know where to start.  You know like when you have to clean up a huge mess and you just look at it wondering what to do first?  Completely overwhelmed, you go grab a snack and turn on the TV, deciding to take care of the mess later. 

That's about sums it up for me.  My focus is just off.  I suppose mostly because we just have so many irons in the fire right now. 

Master is in school so generally after He gets home from work and eats dinner each night, He works out and then locks himself away for studies.  This doesn't bother me.  I get that there are things He needs to work on for Himself right now and in the end, it will be beneficial for our family.  But for the time being, it means that I am pretty busy juggling everything else from the time I get home from work until I go to bed.

Let's not forget about the kids being out of school the last couple of weeks for snow days and then winter break. Geez...I was so happy for them to get back to some semblance of a normal routine today.

The younger one's sport(s) season is also getting into full gear so plenty of practices and competitions already.  By the way, ever been to a cheerleading competition?  What an experience! I had NO idea.

We also had a family situation that required us to be out of town for a couple days. 

And I kid you not.  Just in trying to write what I have so far, I have gotten up three times to take the dog out.  Apparently, even her over-active bladder is attempting to stifle my writing.

Anyways, you name it...it's been going on lately.

Last Monday, I actually had a post all typed out.  A good one too.  While putting the finishing touches on it, one keystroke on the laptop and somehow I deleted over half of it.  Poof...GONE!  Seriously, I was so mad and tired, the only thing I could do was to close the laptop and walk away...very, very slowly. 

I even mentioned to Master while we were out of town that maybe my blog had reached it's end but He didn't agree.  Honestly, I didn't really like the idea either. Besides, I would really miss the interaction with all the people that have come into my life through this blog.    

So, thank you all for bearing with me while I get my shit together and find my focus.
