Life lately

There have been several times lately that I think or say “oh my gosh, I feel a blog coming on."  Based on the lack of a blog post, anyone can see that I haven't followed through on the urge.  This is partly good because, it probably would have just been me going on and on about something that would just upset people, and partly bad because I should really follow through!! The whole chik-fil-a thing really got to me and I really wanted to blog about it, but it was so overdone at the time and I honestly didn’t feel like dealing with the backlash of a post. 

So here I am.  Staring at a blank screen, wondering why it has been so long since I visited my blog. Well, I HAVE been super-duper busy since school started.  Anyone want to know my schedule?  Really?  Great!  Glad you asked!  I will share!

My schedule

On Saturday mornings I pick up my bountiful basket at 6:45 and Kylie has games at 8:15.  Thursday mornings I am beginning a Bible study at church, too.  I am also taking an online class, in addition to my Monday and Wednesday class.  I have also been volunteered to be the social coordinator for Kylie’s classroom.  I am involved in other things, I cannot specifically think of one right off the top of my head though. 

Ok, ok, back to my blog

Anyhow, this is why I have not blogged recently, or why the thought of a theological debate actually makes me weary, or why all the politics lately have been driving me crazy.  It is partly because I AM downright crazy and partly because I am sincerely exhausted. My heart is still in the same spot, and I might even get around to my chik fil a blog, or the blog about people making Jesus who they want him to be, or the blog about clearing out my mom’s house, or the blog about…okay, the point has been made. I need to blog, there is a lot to blog about, there is a lot going on in the world, and I really need to just commit and write.  It is not going to happen today. 

Today was just to complain about how busy I am, that’s all.  Just needed to vent.  I know that there are people out there way busier than I am, and that I really just need to take it and be grateful, which I truly am. I spend hours a day driving and I really needed to just sit and vent.  I would love to spend those hours writing my blog, or my book, or cleaning, or even doing homework.  It is just nearly impossible.  I have been falling asleep around 9 for the past several nights.  Now, that REALLY means I am tired!

Anyhow, life lately has been tiring, I am sure I am not alone in this.  But I have not given up on my blog, and have not given up on my book either.  I am just very preoccupied! 

For my 3 followers out there, thank you!  And for the rest of you, just follow already!  I would have more of a commitment if I felt like someone was actually listening!   

:-) Love ya!
