I’ve been blah lately about blogs.
I haven’t felt like posting and I haven’t been doing my usual jaunt through blogville either. It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve visited some of my favorite blogs.
Where did this funk come from? Has anyone else fallen into a blahgdom?
I guess I should catch you guys up on what’s been going on….
My oldest son is having trouble in school again. We thought we’d had that fixed but apparently not.
My youngest son has been his usual self. His grades are fantastic, but he is bored to death with school. He also does not like the substitute teacher and since his regular teacher has been out a lot due to family problems, my son has had his fill with the sub. He told her the other day that he was “sick of her telling him what to do.” He spent that afternoon with the principal and the rest of the day doing slave labor for me. Disrespect is not tolerated, no matter how bored you are.
I’m still doing the eating right and exercise thing, but the weight doesn’t want to come off. I’m getting stronger and my shape is changing, but I only lost 1 lb last month. That’s frustrating as hell.
My husband looks great. I am very proud of him. And jealous, too.
The writing is going slowly. I’ve added a prologue and I’ve switched POVs for the opening scene and I think it’s much stronger. I just have to finish these revisions and get the new MS to Deidre soon.
That’s about it. More to come this weekend, I hope.

Mel, I know what you mean. There are days when I just don’t feel like blogging or navigating through other blogs–not sure why. It’ll turn around–by next week you’ll probably be blogging like a maniac!
As far as your sons’ school problems go, well, I hear you there too. My son is very bright and really quite a sweetheart, but when the phone rings, I’m afraid to answer it. He gets bored, gets disruptive or mouthy, and off to the principal’s office he goes. Zero tolerance. *sigh*
We just need to take heart in that they are good kids. When they mature, most these problems will fall away, and they’ll grow up to be good men.

Yep, that particular set of “blahs” hit me last month. Still there. I cruise but I don’t always comment now. I’ve become a dreaded lurker.
But this too shall pass. Just give me mancandy, and I’ll perk right up.
As far as kids visiting the principals office… just started that. Thing is, mine LIKES “visiting” the principal. What to do?

I’m slowly coming out of my blogging funk right now. I have been blogged out for the last two weeks.
School. I have three kids in and one going in next year. The youngest I think is the one that is going to give me all the calls for the principal. I was the one of my family that got the calls. Awe, the good ole days

huh, “blahgdom”. cool word, Mel.
I get the blahs once in a while. And there’s no telling what weird little serendipity it’ll take to shift you out of ’em. But something will.
In the meantime, I think you are awesome for hanging in w/ the healthy routine. It’s hard to do when the scale doesn’t cheer you on, but the results are happening, they really really are.
I used to have nightmares about my kids. Partly because I was such a control freak and they were reaching the uncontrollable teenage years…partly because moms just do that. They can make you crazy, can’t they?
But don’t beat yourself up if you do a no-show in the bloggosphere. We know you’ll be back and look forward to your unique perspective.
Happy Momma’s Day, btw. š

Ah Mel, the tales I could tell you about my trips to the principal’s office with my 3 ‘wonderful’ sons, the fact that I know every member of staff involved in Resource by their first name, the day I came back from having 3 teacher conferences and put my head down on the table and cried…
But I won’t
all things must pass and blogdom will wait.
