The Harried Blogger

Hello, my name is Sheryl, and it's been 15 days since my last post.

I have no excuse for not posting besides my busy schedule, but doesn't everyone have a busy schedule these days? Isn't that the reason why we blog: to keep track of those crazy moments so we can reflect back years from now? So we can have a record of what we did while we were on this earth and what we did during our kids' formative years? I need to get better at posting!

Because of my limited brain functionality -- I am 40 now, you know -- I have had to focus all my attention (and I do mean all) to the items that have consumed my life for the past three weeks: Grace's MYART show, Grace's birthday, the boys' daily lessons and IN-CLASS State Testing and, to a lesser extent, my 40th birthday, which came and went like a flash and left me a year older and psychologically in flux. These events all require their own separate postings, but the aggregate effect of having multiple events happen at one time was overwhelming. I wanted to process everything one item at a time, but as you know, the real world asks you to process several things at once, often to unsatisfactory conclusions.

So, today, on the boys' 8th birthday, I will resume our tales of the burrow and start hitting the highlights of the past few weeks. Hold on. Be Patient. There's a lot to tell . . . .
