I Must Be Doing Something Wrong

I think I’ve lost my ability or maybe my will to multitask.

 

Or maybe I’m just old.

I’ve been away from home for 11 of the last 15 days.  Needless to say my online time has suffered.  I have barely read a blog, I’ve barely written in my own, twitter- what’s twitter?, Facebook updates, what?,  and I apologize if I haven’t responded to your email from two weeks ago because I’m about 14 days exactly behind on emails. No, I don’t hate you. No, I’m not ignoring you. No, I haven’ forgotten about you. No, you don’t smell. Well okay maybe you smell a little bit.

 

But if you text me – I am so on it! Call me maybe?

It’s a good thing I really don’t get paid for this.  How lucky I am.

 

Anyway, I’m back home and I miss you all and hope to catch up with what you all have been up to over the past two weeks – pregnant? divorced? lost 5 pounds? won a spot on the Olympic team for diaper changing? new recipe to share?  Tell me your news in the comments  – what have I missed?

    Those are some lovely pictures that look chalk-full of fun (or is it chock-full? I digress…). ~Except for the 114 degree pic.~ If I’m knocked up because of your comment in this blog I’m going to be so mad at you. Just saying. ;) And I’ve spent the last couple of days sorting out our boxes of curriculum for school next year (we homeschool) and I’m such a dork – getting my hands on all those books makes me squeal and drool.

    I’ve missed you.

    As you know, I drowned my MacBook in a sweet drink…. and it has returned from the dead!! Woohoo!

    Also, my baby is now 2 months old. TWO MONTHS.

    I’ve done nothing since you’ve been gone. I blame you.

    Miss you, welcome home.

    Well, this worked our well since I’ve been off the grid, too! We really couldn’t have planned this better if we’d tried! Which we didn’t. But we should have.

    No pregnancy, or Olympic team requests, but my husband has actually brought up the possibility of another baby, and it has a prerequisite of me getting and keeping the house in order without being frazzled and psychotic at the end of the day. Which is seemingly more difficult than I first thought, when I turned my head for a moment and found my laptop hanging by a cord because my 9 month old ripped it off the table from his pack and play, LOL.

    I lost 5 lb and have been offline a lot since the kids have been out of school. Coincidence?

    Welcome back!

      5 lbs is awesome! (Also it seems I’m not alone in my Summer of off-line-ness)

    Just the usual summer stuff. Swimming, ice cream, and way too much heat. (I wish I had pregnancy news…sigh.) Welcome home, you’ve been missed. ;)

    I got nothin’ (other than yes, that is probably me you smell; figured that out in church today because I’m the smart one). You’ve missed nothing with me as yes, again, I got nothin’. And multitasking is for clean house having bitches. Bitches.

    Well, I have not yet found my sanity. I just finished playing a run of The Pajama Game, and I only have a single week to worry about before I head away from home, myself. I think I might have lost five pounds – but, don’t worry, I found them.

    Ive been out of town for 10 days in Chicago and for some reason thought that on vacation I’d have time to read books and blogs and such. I think I’ve tweeted like three times, well except for my incessant instagram updates. But really my kids are adorable all the time, I’ve got to share it.

    What are you using to make those instagram collages?

      How was your trip? I know – what’s twitter? I just used Picassa for the collages.

        It was great, but I’ve been back since Monday and I don’t feel like I’ve remotely caught up to life yet. I think I mostly really ought to do laundry and probably write a blog post! I finally just read all my email!

    I have discovered that I enjoy summer break from school (this was my first year with a child in school and therefore my first summer break). I honestly didn’t think I would :) It probably helps that our aquatic center has free splash park admission every morning from 9-11.
