A letter to my College Bound Son….
Tag Archives: Relationships
Scattered…
I feel so scattered lately! Please forgive me for being away so much lately!
The longer I am pulled away from this blog, the harder I am finding it to sit down and write something meaningful. I don’t know why, but nothing feels right lately. There is so much on my mind and so much to say, but I just draw a blank when I sit down to type. I have numerous draft posts started and somehow can’t finish them…..basically scrapping them all! It’s not like I haven’t been doing anything! I have many recipes and projects to share, just can’t get my act together.
So much has happened this past quarter (I am a bean counter and everything is done in quarters!!), yet nothing has happened at all. My oldest has graduated from high school and is about ready to leave for college! We added a new addition to our household at the start of the summer! We have gone on a short vacation with an amazing family! I have started and finished a number of household projects! Others I have started… waiting to be finished. Yet when I sit down in front of the computer, I draw a blank on putting my thoughts and emotions onto ‘paper’.
All of this self-indulging talk today is for me to admit….it’s not you, it’s me! I know…..I know…..it sounds like a line from relationship breaking up! I swear it is not! I have received some amazing emails from all of you, either asking for help on a certain project, or just asking when I will be posting anything new! Keep them coming….I love emails, answering your questions, and helping you out! I promise this long distance relationship has been a drag for me, and I can’t wait to get my act together and get back at it. I miss all of you!! Until then, I am doing my best each day and trying to forget about the word balance because sometimes it just doesn’t exist. You totally agree with me, don’t ya??
I will talk to you all soon, but in the meantime….take care, and if you have any questions or comments, give me a shout out or email me. It might take a couple of days, but I do answer EVERYTHING!
