Okay, seriously? My mind is mush. Complete mush. And this blogging thing doesn’t go too well with a mushy brain. I can’t even blame PMS this week either.
I just can’t formulate a thought. Or make a decision. Or write out an entertaining blog. I haven’t even been able to concentrate long enough to read a blog!!! I miss keeping up on my usual blogs. I miss reading. I miss writing. I miss thinking.
Thank goodness for kids, because who else would I be able to pass the blame on? So ya, I blame the kids.
Thank the good Lord for school….which in my case only means preschool, but is at least 3 days a week this year. Unfortunately it doesn’t start until the 14th, which is an entire week later than last year!!! Are you even kidding me right now? Don’t they know this is the year that they needed to start, like, now?
I mean, really. What is this deal with summer break? Is it even necessary? Okay so forget the kids, forget what they need. I’m talking about us, the parents. What about our needs???
So what, do you ask, am I going to be doing once my child is back in the heavenly gates of preschool? Enjoying the silence.
Because if all goes as planned, then Chloe will be sleeping, and the skies will open and doves will fly, and I will sing a song of praise.
Realistically?
I’ll be working out, writing, and smiling. Lots and lots of smiling.
{and that’s all I can force out of my brain for today…}
If you’re still following me after this week….then you are a true friend.

I am looking forward to school day and dropping lil’ D off for 3 hours/3 days a week. I wish it was longer, but that is what we can do for now. I will be going to the gym, Starbucks, and back to school to pick him up. It’s brief “me time” but I’ll take it. Take care.

You’re being silly! Why would be bail on you?! Silly silly girl
I agree, what’s up with summer break? Just to drive the parents crazy? Mommy needs a break too! Ahhhh!!
Hang in there. I’m sure you’ll get your mojo back soon!
I’m still here, Summer… Still reading!
If your brain is mush, might I have some more please? I’m quite hungry at the moment.
Mush brain is not good, but don’t worry it gets better!
And I hope you do just enjoy the silence with the little one in preschool…be careful not to sing TOO loud, you’ll wake the other one up!
My girl goes to year round so she only had 6 weeks off for summer, woot woot!
So how does that trick work when the child goes to sleep when you want her to? I never could seem to master that one. 🙂
I don’t have children, but I really feel for the parents during breaks, because it has to seriously mess around with schedules and such! I’m still reading you!!!
We start school on Monday. I’m singin’ some praises right about now!
Oh girl… it takes a helluva lot more to scare me away than that! I’ve had a helluva week myself… hmm, I’m saying “helluva” a lot… haha!
Hang in there! And know you aren’t the only one rockin’ the crazy! 🙂

Sounds like mama needs a visit from the margarita fairy. What time can I be there? 😉
i hear you. i think it’s contagious… i feel the same way.
I hate it when my brain turns to mush (and it happens a lot).
I have been feeling the same way. I am drained and there is just nothing left in me when I finally get the chance to sit down and write.
Sometimes my brain stops working too. Its sad.
I can’t wait for preschool to start. Sept 16th for us {I think.} Can’t. Wait. Can. Not. Wait.
Hehe…you’re cute!!! As a mother we do deserve a break and that’s what school is for…right? RIGHT!!!
Hope your smiling starts very soon! 🙂
My kids don’t go back to school for 3 more weeks. And like you, I’m the mom that is doing the happy dance. Summers are LONG………
I don’t even have kids and I know that time to myself is a total necessity. Even if just to keep me from killing my poor hapless husband! I’m totally stoked for you to get some writing/thinking/smiling in soon!
To quote the lovely Gilmore Girls…
Where you lead, I will follow!
Translation: I’m still following! Duh.
I’m finally getting around to commenting on this one. You are being way too hard on yourself, girl. Seriously. We ALL have days like that, weeks like that, MONTHS like that, sometimes. It seems like you’re putting a lot of pressure on yourself to always have all this stuff to say, but shoot, lady – even when you have posts like this, their totally worthy of reading! This is you – this is real life, and that’s why we all love your blog so much. Because you’re genuine. 🙂
