Bad Blogger!

I have been a bad blogger, I let Terr-bears new found ability to walk (and thus fall and tumble into seemingly everything) distract me from blogging.  I think I may have foolishly assumed the older he got the easier and more low key our days would be.  Are all the Mom’s reading this laughing yet?  For those of you who don’t spend your days with a toddler, it only gets more hectic and there is no “spare” time.  And naps are made for regrouping, going to the bathroom, eating, chugging coffee, not blogging so much.   I kept telling myself I would blog while I was on vacation, my sister had two weeks off which meant I too had 2 weeks off.  So while I chased after my little bear I assuaged my guilt over not blogging by telling myself I would be a blogging machine once I was off for two weeks.  

And then vacation came and I....went to New Jersey to visit with my bestie, then worked for a few days selling makeup to the pretty ladies, then up to my sisters beach house for a week, then back for a few more days of putting makeup on pretty ladies, and well, no blogging.  No blogging despite the fact that when I would be hovering over my laptop doing important stuff like checking facebook my Mother would cheerfully chirp, “Oh!  Are you writing your blog?”.  Or that while I was on facebook trying to silence my inner voice telling me what a disgrace I was for not blogging, my sweet sister had posted on my wall, “I miss the Butterfly and the Bear!”  So did I!  I just felt like I couldn’t make myself write anything.  However, I did find I truly missed it and despite my sabbatical from the blog I received some funny and kind comments while I was away which made me feel enthusiastic and brought a smile to my face.  

So, I am recommitting myself to number 6 on the list, “Start and maintain a blog.”  When I was visiting my bestie Missy she said, “You can just post a picture and a few comments, it doesn’t always have to be a beautifully crafted essay.”  I know this but I have trouble writing just a small snippet.  However, after 3 weeks of silence I realize that a simple observation would be better than nothing.  So I am back and recommitted, if you’ll have me!

So back in the saddle!  And since I am taking a cold hard look at myself and my obvious tendency towards procrastination, ( this has always been an issue for me, in college I would start 15 page papers at 11:00pm the night before they were due, in theater I would frantically try to memorize my lines at dinner before heading over to practice, why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?  Right?!) I am going to devote tomorrows blog to assessing my progress thus far in achieving my goals on my year long list.  Yikes.  Don’t get me wrong, the goals are on my mind daily, some are more in the forefront than others, but I know them all and I am actively working towards achieving them all.  However, as the last month has reminded me, time waits for no man (or woman) and the clock is ticking, the months are passing.  Am I were I want to be?  Where I need to be to achieve these goals in the time frame I set for myself?  So tomorrow’s blog will be all about accountability and assessing where I am and what I am doing to make my dreams a reality (GULP!).  Wish me luck!
