I have once again started something and not followed through. I had set a goal to write daily in this blog...well maybe a more realistic goal would be three times a week.... okay, maybe once a week.
Don't get me wrong, I am writing daily. I am just not writing here. But I am writing, maybe not as actively as I had started out.
I have all sorts of reasons and justifications for not writing. I mean really, there is so much going on in my life every day. Its no wonder why I don't have an hour or two to sit and write about my exciting life. I'm living it man, not writing about it.
Today is a  perfect example of the demands on my time, its only eleven in the morning and I have already had a pretty full day. I have made french toast for two cheery, delightful children this morning as they yawned and stretched and woke up positive, ready to face a day of school. You know that they appreciated it too, at least I think that's what they said as I handed them their healthy lunch made with love.
After a delightful drive to drop the children in the school parking lot begging to be picked up early, I had to rush home to feed and clean up after five dogs who apparently would all like to break the sound barrier with their greetings. After scooping, comes the walking. This morning was only three dogs pulling me erratically down the hill as their noses lead them from side to side of the trail. This excitement is all happening in barely above freezing temperatures.
Once all my work outside is done and I am frozen solid, it is in the house to have a shower to remove the puppy perfume. Now that I am looking good I am on to the important work of laundry and cleaning bathrooms. Between stain removal and washing stuff off the mirror that I can never figure out how in the hell it gets on there, I have very little time for writing about things like how popular culture is effecting the development of our  personal relationships. I mean come on, I have too many things to do. Like today I have already booked a hair colouring appointment (not mine mind you, but rather my son's as he has decide to go black all over with red streaks throughout, his dad will love it!), I have searched the house for my daughter's novel study book after she sent me three text saying she couldn't find it anywhere and it just had to be here ( turns out it was in the side pocket of her bag at school), and tried to figure out how to turn on the damn Wii fit.
In all this madness I have to make sure to take a minute for myself. So I am off to eat four cookies (I will try to get the Wii fit going later) and get caught up on current events, it is very crucial to know who is indeed  the baby daddy, or who has found it necessary to go to divorce court, and finally what crucial health matters the Doctors have decided to scare the crap out of millions of viewers with.
So, tomorrow I will try to get back on the writing plan, but we will have to see how the schedule goes....I think there might be a breaking story on how using certain styles of toilet seats may  be the number one cause of lower back pain.
