My blog has been quite the bore lately.
For about a month it's just been bare bones around here…….
meal planning, #thelinkhomeeveryday2014, and Pearson & Nash's monthly posts.
I have sat down a million times to try to catch up but it just hasn't happened. I like to stay on top of my blog and stay up to date. My blog is my version of scrapbooking our life so I get overwhelmed when I get behind. I still have about 10 posts in my drafts and I hope to get to them up eventually but for now, I'm moving on. I'm pretending like I am all caught up!!
So to give you a quick update as to what has been keeping me from blogging,
I though I would give you…...
The Top 10 Reasons Why I Haven't Blogged
1. Matt was sick for a full two weeks and I did the single mom thing. Wow……talk about exhausting!!
2. While Matt was sick, I kinda sorta got addicted to watching Pretty Little Liars. I was sooooo exhausted at the end of each day that I just plopped myself on the couch and watched an episode before heading to bed.
3. Speaking of television……during the summer, Matt and I like to watch Big Brother. That means three nights a week I get sucked into the couch to watch TV.
4. Pearson has turned into a "Three-nager". He has been giving me the biggest fits and has also decided he is too cool for naps. I still make him rest in his bed, but for some reason I find it hard to do much when he's not actually asleep.
5. Nash has decided he hates sleep. He has a hard time going to bed, he wakes up multiple times in the night most nights, and has decided that wake-up time is now in the 5 o'clock hour. {yawn}
{pause……I hear Nash waking up from his nap}
Alrighty……add 45 minute naps to the list of crappy sleeping habits Nash is developing.
6. Because my children now hate sleep which makes me plum exhausted, I fill my down time with mindless activities such as Candy Crush. Soooooooo stinking addicting, but such a time suck.
7. I've got too much going on…….between church activities, MOPS stuff, being on a special committee for church, playdates with friends, and Dallas Moms Blog stuff……we stay really busy!! Maybe a little too busy. I need to start saying NO to some things.
8. Almost all summer long we had two standing appointment. Every Tuesday we had therapy for Nash and every Thursday we had a helmet appointment. When you have two kids, it just takes one outing a day to really wear you out.
9. When I could find some free time and I wasn't to exhausted, I did some couponing. I managed to completely stock Nash up on Size 3 diapers and I got a good start to his Size 4 collection. I also bought enough baby food to last him for all of his baby food eatin' days. Best part….I got it all for practically FREE!! I hope he likes Plum Organics!!
{This is just a fraction of what I got!!}
10. I've been feeling like my blog isn't good enough. It seems like so many blogs out there have perfect pictures with perfect writing, a clever title with the perfect little pinnable image with text written on it. I don't take perfect pictures, my writing isn't great at all and I don't have time to put text on all of my pictures so they are perfect for pinning. I have to remind myself why I blog. It's not to have hundreds of followers or really even to impress anybody. I blog to record my family's memories so I need to just be me on my blog.
So there ya have it……the top 10 reason why I haven't blogged!
School starts on next Tuesday for Pearson and I'm really looking forward to getting back on a schedule. Hopefully things will slow down a little for us!!
