Without offering excuses, but to give you a peek into the (positive) mayhem that is my life, here are a few of the reasons you haven’t seen a ton of depth here recently:
* lots of people in & out of my house: new furnace, counters, carpet, appliances, bathroom tile, paint, blah, blah, blah. It is unbelievably time consuming to pull your house from the late ’90’s into today!
* a break in the water main. Good timing.
* fast and furious editing on a book proposal. I LOVE it, but it doesn’t leave a lot of leisure time on the table.
* a blog re-work is in the works, which means I’ve spent a lot of time on this blog lately, you just can’t see it yet. Maybe by the end of the year?
* iPhoto trouble. It’s very hard for me to admit this, even to myself, but I accidentally deleted all 13,000+ photos I had on iPhoto. They were all cataloged by child, place, date. It was beautiful. Since that day I’ve had a difficult time taking photos and haven’t loaded a single one on to iPhoto. Blogging isn’t nearly as fun without the photos. I’m just sick about it. And, yes, I’ve already been to the Apple store for help. I think they wanted to roll their eyes, but they just kindly told me I was out of luck. Stupid.
* 3 boys in 3 schools and difficulty saying ‘no’ to volunteering in any of them.
* coaching a boys basketball team which, again, I LOVE, but any leisure time left after the book proposal editing is pretty much eaten up by planning plays, practices, and game rotations.
* friends. Of all of the things I’ll jettison to clear my schedule, friends aren’t one of them.
But you’re my friends, too–more depth here soon, I promise!
