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.

  2. Marriages are supposed to have seven year itches, I think blogs have one year ones! Life takes over and then you wonder what there is left to say. I'm sure your Master will inspire you to write something soon :)
    One of my kids is very sporty, this week is busy on that front.
    Hope your things sort themselves out soon :)
    hugs

    1. Thanks DF. It is right at a year for my blog and I think there is truth to your idea of the one year itch. I start to feel like I have written the same idea before and no one wants to hear it again.

      Good luck on your busy week:)

  3. You know , the number of times my blogs disappear, and i can not afford the time to retype them, and life piles up , there truly does not seem as if there is enough time in the day to get things done. Any how i waffle to much , what i meant to write was i may not comment that much , but i do try and read all the posts that are written , and would miss you if you disappeared. Now i need to go and focus on things ... hugs saffy

    1. I am not happy to hear that you have had the same issue with posts disappearing but I am glad that I am not the only one:) I TOTALLY get what you are saying about waffling. I wish I could just sit and write the thoughts as they flow without second guessing myself or getting so off track that no one could follow along. Hugs back:)

    1. Everything is good...just slow going right now. We have really been trying to work on better communication though. Once we resumed our dynamic, it seemed that we still had some issues there.
