Day 3- What was my excuse for day three? Oh yes it was Wednesday and I worked on the slipcover order I am making until the kids got home. Then I did the kid/dinner/ running for the night and before I knew it it was 11 PM and I remembered my blog. Fail!!
Day 4- Homecoming Carnival- My second daughter is a high school cheerleader and they were set to perform at the high school carnival. We took Isabelle, my youngest to enjoy the carnival and before Victoria even got to perform it started to rain so guess what , no performance. Returned home with wet kids and exhausted. No time to blog after that traumatic evening. I still had to wash our wet cheer uniform for tomorrows big game. Fail!!
Day 5- Homecoming game. Three hours in the freezing cold! No blog post. I did however find time to watch a movie with the hubby though so I guess he should be pleased to rank above the blog in my life. Hell right now watering the dead flowers ranks over the blog. Why is that??
Day- 6 Homecoming dance!! If you have girls that explains everything but for those of you whom do not. It is a marathon of nails, hair ,make-up that literally takes a village to get these high maintenance princess's ready. We did pictures with some of her friends and then a play at our local Middle School for Isabelle. Done at 9:00. Cool lets have a few friends over for drinks. Now done at 12:30.
Of all the fail days Day 7 is the worst. A lovely Sunday with kids that slept until 10:00 AM and I spent it folding laundry. Really laundry is more important. Then hubby occupied watching the Chiefs loose and I make pumpkin bars with Isabelle. Then evening homework, dinner and showers. So much time wasted today ironing and dusting because as you know not getting that done would be a national disaster.
Day 8- PTA conference dinners at 2 schools so cooking all day followed by squeezing in some work on a job that has to be done tomorrow and is still not done. I guess the blog has some competition on the neglecting what matters to me front. Two hours of fighting with an 11 year old about practicing violin, a trip to the school to pick up the said violin we "forgot" making it impossible to practice ( she was not happy about this) and tumbling until 8:30.
The point is today I was going to remove myself from the 31 days blog roll because I haven't been doing it like it was intended. I haven't gotten one meaningful thing done toward my 31 day goal but instead of giving myself permission to just give up and put everything else in front of what I want again I have decided to stick with it. Maybe the humiliation of having to face my peers will motivate me. Maybe at the very least it can become a net for catching days.
