That is all I can really say about the length of time it has been between my entries lately. I mean talk about slacking! This is a blog; I am supposed to write paragraphs each day about the events which have filled my day. Well, that would be a couple of very short and boring sentences. Anyone who reads my Facebook posts are very well aware of that.

            These days it is hard to find time to write a blog entry. I have a lot of things going on in my life. This is pretty typical of me though. Why I manage to never quite make time to write the things I should I don’t really know. It is however, very frustrating.  

            Currently I am a little busier than normal. I am packing and preparing to move at the end of the month. That is great. Except then we will hopefully be moving again shortly after that. There is a lot to do over the next couple of weeks.  Packing, cleaning, and changing of addresses. It really seems endless.

            In between boxes of clothes, kitchenware, and toys I have to find time to write a book. There is a contest to enter no later than June eighth. In order to submit my writing I must have three chapters finished. Not rough draft finished, but hand-in-to –publisher finished. As of now, I am still working on Chapter One.

            When the weather allows, there is my photography career to think of. That takes a considerable amount of time. There is at least an hour or two of photo taking then uploading, editing, watermarking, copying, posting, and even sometimes ordering. If there is a showing then I have framing, displaying, and then the actual showing. It is wonderful but very exhausting.

            Don’t forget I am a mom. There is homework, bathes, parent/teacher conferences, meals, doctor appointments, and just plain questions to answer. Out of respect for my children’s privacy, I try not to write about most events in their lives. And I certainly do not post private details about their lives.

            At the end of my day, I am generally exhausted both physically and mentally. Trying to come up with witty words phrases to keep readers interested can often seem like too much. Yet, I refuse to give up on blogging. There must be a compromise in here somewhere. I have to be able to find it. I am certain that I will. When that will be I am not certain of.
