I’m been MIA.
Not for reals, but in my blog.
I want to post, but there are things….
Life things,
unsaid things,
Just things.
I feel just horrible because I have a ton to say about Joe’s 33rd brithday, and how much I adore the man.
Or, how Luke turned 2 last Friday, and how much I adore him too.
Or, How Jack’s only really been skating for 2 months, and he’s doing SO great.
Or how sassy he has been, and how much it’s made me really want to teach him a lesson, and not give him a single gift for x-mas (horrible, I know)
I am here. Lurking on other blogs, lacking comment for sheer laziness, or trying to but failing.
My days are filled with stuff, and things.
Last week, I went through a peroid of days where I cried for no apparent reason. (Poor Joe)
I cried for the year we’ve had, for the stress of the commitments I’d made (and felt like I was failing to keep).
Hell, I even cried because Becca sent me the most amazing gift, and I will fail miserably at sending something, in any good amount of time, to her.
Have you ever noticed, as a Mom, that you expect youself to juggle 3 million balls in the air, have great hair, makeup, a great figure, and make it look effortless? I feel like that. I do that to myself though.
I want to get out of debt, get my x-mas cards sent, have my kids behave more then be naughty (they really do… just venting), have a house that is just a tad larger, cleaner, more organized, and I could go on……………….
Really, what I really want for X-mas this year though….
Is to have health.
Health for my little family
our extended family
our friends
Health and a better year then 2010.
2010 had highlights for us, but too many lows.
I’m boring right now friends.
If I were you I’d go read about the musings of living in MN when we get 15+ in of snow from Jenny.
Or check out this giveaway from Becca
This had me laughing out loud from Denise
This post from Chels makes me feel better that my shoppings almost done (Sorry Chels)
And Finally, I go here Every.Single.Day (almost) because the site, By Jen, is like my crack and I wish my house was this organized. 
There are more, but for now, I hope you enjoy these, because lately I’m just a little lacking in the writing and boring to read.
*I didn’t spell check or go back and re-read this…. due to laziness and lack of care..thanks for understanding and not judging……
Oh I am right there with you my friend. I can’t get the words out, can’t share what I really want to share. It it such a hard time right now for so many of us.
We love you.
We understand.
Um, your friend Becca doesn’t want you to send anything at all to her. She’s happy knowing that you got the package and liked it.
And the rest of us out here? We would like you to post again in 2011, and feel no stress to post in 2010. Because you, my friend, deserve to enjoy every minute of this holiday season without a blog looming over your head
Your words are my words. I feel like I’m in a pretty similar place so I’m very sorry. I’m glad you’ve taken some time for yourself. I’ll be thinking of you. Take good care and please know that I am always around to listen.
I hear ya on the naughtiness of the children. It’s absurd around here. I blame it on the weather and not getting outside enough. We finally cracked the whip around here and started sending a certain 4yo to his room for any little back-talk. I haven’t had to lock his door yet but I wouldn’t say it’s out of the question. Am I really posting this on the Internet for all to read? Child Services here we come. Agh! Anyway, just a little nudge to say we’ve got problems in this house too.
Don’t apologize for your feelings lady! This is a crazy time and you have a lot of stress going on! Know that we love you and we’re here for you.
Enjoy your family! Mama Nash is so right – we all have, ahem, issues. Everyone’s are different but we all have them. You’re not alone, and you’re allowed to feel… well… everything that you feel!
Love you lady!
