I didn't get eaten by sharks, ran over by a train, or even tripped up the steps and busted my head lately. I am still alive and breathing. I took a blog hiatus. I tried coming back a few times, but my heart just wasn't in it. It has been hard for me to cut out a chunk of time to sit down and write a post. And when I do, I wonder if I have anything to say that people will want to read. I love the friendships I have made through blogging. I miss you girls and I think about you daily. I will get better. I have decided that I am going to start a list of blog ideas. They come to me while I am driving down the street, but by the time I get home; I have forgotten.
Allison (Kwizer.com) - Yes, we have given up musical theatre for now. Elexis got accepted into an extra orchestra and it conflicted with rehearsals for theatre. She had to choose and she chose orchestra. She is doing very well in the orchestra.
Government furlough - My husband works for the government. Last October he transferred from the DoD (Department of Defense) over to the FAA. As much as he has struggled with the decision, it turned out to be a blessing. As of yet, he has not been furloughed, but if the government doesn't come to a decision in the next couple of weeks, he will be. I pray that Congress gets their act together and resolve this fairly (yeah right, its the government) and quickly (ha).
I have a few things that I am going to go ahead and write while I have the chunk of time and focus and schedule them. Maybe if I start out ahead of the game, I won't fall behind. I am looking for a November Challenge as well. I need to get back in the habit.
I want to give hugs to my girls. I pray that you will still read this even though I have been MIA. I am going to catch up on all your blogs so be expecting a crap ton of comments...
Oh, and I changed the name back to My Own Personal Stage. I really like it, so I will be changing my header back. But I like the new color scheme, so I think I will keep it.
I know what you mean about blogging. Sometimes it just comes so natural and other times life gets in the way and it becomes somewhat of a chore... But whatever the case may be we always remember our relationships.
ReplyDeleteLove the changes to the blog especially the dots!
Jen - I am so glad you get it. I can't wait to catch up with you and your life. I love the dots too!
DeleteI have MISSED you so much. I am glad that you are coming back. I am thinking of a November challenge myself. If you find one, or want to come up with one I am in all the way!!!!!
ReplyDeletePaula you are in my thoughts DAILY!! I will definitely let you know if I find a good challenge.
DeleteI will be waiting to hear from you. I thought about a 30 day Thankful challenge, but I don't know if I can find 30 things I am thankful for.....just kidding!!!
DeleteI thought that same thing!! lol. Twisted minds think alike. hahaha
DeleteHelloooo! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've missed you! I am glad I get to keep up with you on Instagram.
Delete*TACKLEHUGS* Welcome back! Never start questioning whether people want to read what you write. This is your space, after all. Once you start worrying too much about what you post (unless you're struggling with posting something that's probably overall offensive) then the whole thing starts slipping out of your hands. Just get on and ramble if that's what you want to do. I'll read it. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are completely right!! Thank you for that!! Love you! One of these days we are going to tacklehugs for real!!
