Some Really Good Excuses As To Why I Haven’t Been Blogging Much Lately

Have you noticed my inconsistent and sporadic online presence lately? Well, it’s for really good reason. Wait…what? You didn’t notice? SIGH.

For some reason, things have gotten very overwhelmingly chaotic in my life. I think all my kids are going through some sort of hormonal crisis, which will be a blog post or two sometime in the next few days.

Honestly? I’m not doing well in my business law class and I’m studying a lot. Or, I should say, trying to study. A little. But for some CRAZY reason, I’m noticing my ADD is super active during this class. When I take the quizzes, the questions look like they are written in Egyptian hieroglyphics. I can’t figure them out. And the book? I have to sit VERY upright or I’ll fall asleep after reading 3 pages. It makes for good nighttime reading.

Also, I have to write these crazy, godforsaken poems. And I’m sure I mentioned that I don’t know how to write poems. My next one that is due on Wednesday, I have a choice of a Sonnet, Villanelle or Ghazal. The last two I’ve never heard of. I was hoping for Haikus. At least our next unit is in short stories. I think I can do that. No, wait. I KNOW I can do that. I think.

Not to mention, I think I have major blog post idea burnout. Life isn’t throwing me posts, it’s throwing me some sort of citrus fruits.

Oh yeah, let’s not forget. I don’t have internet until tomorrow night. Don’t tell anyone but I think I’m pirating someones internet signal right now. Because somehow, this evening, I was able to get online and not have to use my cellphone. Heck if I would want to write a blog post from my cellphone. That would be nuts and take forever. And really? I suck at texting so I can’t imagine trying to text a blogpost.

Lastly, I’m just fricking lazy.

But I’ll be back sometime tomorrow. With a real post. About a real event. That really happened. Not saying that none of this has not or isn’t happening. I’m just saying that tomorrow may have a more interesting, entertaining, heartwarming or just plain awful post. So good night. I’m off to figure out how to ruin the Sonnets, Villanelles and Ghazals as we know them today. Assuming anyone today knows them.

And those. Are my reasons. Good enough for me. But, I miss all of you and your lack of comments.

In the infamous words of some big guy with an accent…I’ll be back.

    I actually wrote a villanelle once in college after learning what it was (just has to do with the format, like most poems). i thought it would be fun. I’d offer to let you use it, but trust me, you don’t want the grade it would get you.

    never heard of a ghazal – I’m going to have to look that up.

    Good luck with everything!

    ps: I tyoed a blogpost on my blackberry once when my computer broke – BAD IDEA. major hand cramping

    Why you think you aren’t missed is beyond me. And here’s a little comment love just for you. Hang in there, the poetry may come in handy when you have to really tell someone off in a sweet way, and you seem to do very well with that *smile*. And the kids? I wish they had a countdown app like they do for gestation…8 years 3 months 4 days 12 hours and 32 minutes till they move out. Wouldn’t that give us something to look forward to.

    And here I’d been feeling guilty for my lack of blog-o-sphereness…at least you have excuses! Me? I got nothing!

    Your “laziness” still deserves a Go You! in my opinion. Mwahs.

    Girl, I don’t know how you do it! I would be suffering from burn out already. make sure you take some time just to chill, you deserve a moment to yourself.

    As for the hieroglyphs and sleepiness, try looking for works that aren’t perfectly clear and look them up. I find that always does the trick when it happens to me, there is always a little word that maybe is being used in a different way from what I’m familiar with or something, and everything just gets jumbled up. Sounds silly, but it’s the little things, right?

    Excuses? No, honey, you have a LIFE.

    I don’t post every day. I still can’t figure out how some women can find the time to post three or four times a day. Me, I’m lucky to do so a few times a week. If it means my blog doesn’t grow and such, so be it. My life–family, house, work, etc.–comes first.

    And, yes, you ARE always missed in the blogsphere.

    But you’ve got a lot going on. I majored in creative writing for my B.A. but hate poetry and had to take the class anyway and wanted to punch my hubby’s engineering friends who joked that I wasn’t taking “serious” classes. Poetry is HARD. And business law? Hey, I’m proud of you–*I’d* fall asleep in class.

    Hey, how are you feeling? Hope you’re doing better!

    Hon, sorry that school is so chaotic. Hopefully you’ll get into a rhythm and it will get better. Working, going to school, raising five kids, keeping a home running… you have a lot going on! You’re too hard on yourself.

    I’ve always enjoyed your poems and short stories.
