I Just Can't Win!

A few weeks I explained my lack of blogging lately along with how G was hit with the croup.

***************************************************************************

Just as I was beginning to feel that things {work, family, and whatnot} were falling into my typical smooth pattern . . . I realized I spoke {or blogged rather} too quickly!

I ran into a few little snags at work {which were typical beginning of the year snags, but time consuming nonetheless}.

I hit a big snag when the weekend after G had the croup, Little Miss thought it was a good idea to get her first ear infection {isn't she sweet?}.

Of course she chose the perfect time to spike a 101.8 fever, too . . . . 8:00 on Friday night!

Luckily, I learned that the doctor's office has special Saturday hours from 9:00-12:00 {Children always help to keep you on your toes, right?}.  I was able to get her into the doctor, get her some medicine, and she is feeling much better.  She rested for the remainder of the weekend and was back to her typical happy self by Monday, which was just enough time for the next shoe to drop.

Brent came home Monday night and informed me that he would need to put in a lot of over time on a project that was due in 2 weeks {insert my enthusiasm here!}

I am happy ecstatic, actually, to report everyone is finally well in my house and I survived the 2 weeks of Brent's over time {And so did he.  Let's face it; it was just as difficult on him as it was on me}.

The 3 day weekend really provided some much needed rest and relaxation!

I have been so bummed about not being able to blog.  I have mentally blogged so often, but when I actually had the time to sit down and get to business, what happened, I started to fall asleep {Darn, I’m old!}.

Now, here I am, finally able to complete the post that I began 3 weeks ago.  Actually I had to alter it quite a bit because so much has happened since its beginning.

I am very frustrated with myself.  I worked so hard to build this blog and to meet people.  Now it's as if I have just let that all just slip through my fingers.

I miss catching up with my blogging friends.  I want you to know that I have been able to read a few of your posts from my phone, while waiting in line and whatnot, but I haven't been able to comment due to interruptions or because of bad service.

I am desperately hoping that this post will serve as my 're-appearance' into the bloggy scene. 
I'm going to be realistic though,  I can't expect myself to post as frequently as I did over the summer.
I do want to post more often than I have been able to in the past 5 weeks.  So I'll settle for a happy medium.
 Frankly, I'll just be happy to keep in touch with my friends, because in the end that's what this is all about: meeting friends, communication, and keeping in touch with my readers.

So in closing I would like to say:
"Hi friends!  I have missed you, please share your life updates with me.  I can’t wait to read all about you!"
