I suck

I’ll be the first one to admit it. No one else needs to tell me. I already know it.
The reason why is because I have been so busy lately. Work has me going crazy and when I am not traveling for work I am home trying to get things done and spend time with the family.
The important part is the spending time with family. I have been trying to get things done around the house, painting, putting in windows doing yard work and gardening in addition to playing with the kids. My body is extremely sore, I am up early and to bed late so that everyone gets equal time with me.
Where is my me time? Well, my wife would argue that I get it when I am traveling for work. I don’t really call that me time. I call that work.
But because of all that is happening to me I have been neglecting this blog not to mention my forums listed to the right. But let’s focus on the blog for the moment. I feel that I am letting the readers, all 8 of you, down. My posting is sporadic, my reading of blogs even less so, and commenting on those other blogs has been non existent. There are some really great blogs out there that I read but never get a chance to comment on, Red, Teeni, Lemons, just to name a few.
Also, because I have been busy, I have been so overwhelmed and yet uninspired to write. There is nothing floating in this empty brain of mine that I even feel would be interesting to others to read. To me, if it is some sort of drabble that even I wouldn’t read, well, I ain’t gonna write it.
I’ve even thought of ending this blog, only for the reason that I don’t have the time. The jury is still out on that but as of now, I’ll continue it. Who knows, this slump may be over in a few weeks. Time will tell.
You all are going to have to bear with me as I go through this rough patch. Hang in there.

Hey - don’t beat yourself up! Life goes on. We will be here when you can be. No pressure. We enjoy your writing so take your time, enjoy your life and come back and tell us about it later. But if you do decide to end the blog, please let us know. And if you come back, you get in touch! I don’t really want you to end your blog but if it stresses you then you have to do what works for you. So I’m just rambling here. Idly. And you don’t suck. Hugs to you!!
Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. I’ve just felt swamped lately. Maybe I was just venting. I feel better today but yet I still have nothing to write. *sigh
Must be summer because I’ve been doing the same thing!
It could be.
Here’s a little creative writing assignment for you then. Maybe it will help you get into the GOOD summer zone. Please write at least ten blurbs - doesn’t have to be complete sentences, just blurbs is fine. The blurbs each have to describe one thing about summer and what it means to you - smells, memories, descriptions of colors, skies, whatever. You go to town with it and just be as descriptive as you can without using any “old popular cliches” such as “sun-kissed,” etc. It’s a little creative exercise and you may not even want to post it (although I’d be interested in what you come up with) but it may get your brain in gear and give you another topic to write about - either way, give it a try buddy. If you have the time, and really want to write something, I mean.
for you, and for me, i’ll give this a try
Hmmm. You haven’t talked about toilet paper in awhile. Now, there’s an idea, maybe?
smart @$$
Whether it’s reading or writing, there’s no obligation or schedule you have to adhere to. Do what you can, when you can, and enjoy it when you do. No rush, no hurry. As for the blog, let it live. It’ll be here when you need it, as will the blogs you like to frequent. You take care and I’ll see you around.
Oh, and good luck with the me time. 
Hey man, I’ve been in the same type of slump lately, I made a total of 5 posts the entire month of June on my blog and I too thought of killing my blog off, but like Peter said, let it live, it’s a great venting tool for when you’re having a bad day or when something exciting happens.
