I worry sometimes about the gaps here on ihopeiwinatoaster, I worry that in later years the boys might think I wasn't thinking of them or there was nothing noteworthy or that I stopped caring or...
Well, you get the picture. I have plenty of material, so much in fact that I would like to do a post a day for the month of September to get caught up so I can begin to use the fodder which will be coming home from school this year.
The problem is, and I mention this often, to the point of obsession, I can't seem to find the time and that really frustrates me. Anyone who takes care of a household knows the feeling, I could list, right now, twenty - at least - things I should be doing right now. I'll get some of them done, others I will put off, and, truth be told, this blog is one of things that always seems to get put off.

I, of course, realize that this is a lackluster post. I might not even it post on the Facebook page. But, the laundry is on its final spin, the grocery store is calling and there is painting and yardwork and...
From Marci's "... things you don't expect to hear from the backseat ..."

Eternal problems for the person who runs the house. My ancient advice is to make time for yourself or awfully quick they will be gone and you will have no idea who you are nor what it was you really wanted to do with YOUR life.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I don't write anything for more than a few days, I feel like I have to come back with something amazing, or else... I'm not sure what else--it's a debilitating feeling, though, so good for you for not letting it stop you.
