Getting started...

Needless to say, today has not been great. I had great intentions of getting up and cleaning the whole entire house... the laundry is halfway done and I am playing on the computer now. Go figure.
I have been asked to speak in Sacrament meeting on Mother's day, and am beginning to stress a bit. WHY ME??? Isn't it enough that I will be there? I also have a primary class to teach and am singing with the choir... Ugh. The worst part is that I said yes.
I suppose I shouldn't complain. So that is why I shirked my duties on housekeeping and camped out over here at the computer. I needed some inspiration. I also wanted to read some blogs and check email... I admit it!
I better get back to work now... tonight we are headed off to the Temple with some friends, Hannah is headed to her Dad's for the weekend, and I think I may have some time to do some catch up blogging if I can get the stinkin' house finished first,and then possibly get my talk started. WHEW! Days off are so exhausting!

Dear Blog...

Dear Blog,
I'm still here. I know I have been rather quiet lately. It's not that I don't have anything to say to you, it's just that lately we have been living two different lives. I miss you. I really do. I think back fondly to those long days at the Holiday Inn... just me and you for hours on end. I used to blog my little heart out over the most random stuff! And the Internet surfing we used to do!!! Wow! Those were the days!
I don't want to say that I have outgrown you... I miss you and so want to reacquaint myself with you! I've done some amazingly fun things lately...a dream trip to Vegas, some great things with work, some hilarious mother-daughter moments... all without pictures, of course, because you know me, always something happening and no camera to be found. And you know what? You probably wouldn't even recognize Hannah. She is an amazing little girl...beautiful, smart, and busy worrying about her mother. Between my precious time with her, my job, a primary calling, and just trying to maintain some sanity in my life I have neglected you. So here is my vow to you: I am not going to promise to update you once a week. I can't even promise you once a month; but for now I will promise that when life gives me a second or two to reflect on some stuff and get it into words appropriate for the rest of the world you will be one of the last ones to know!
Love,
Me
P.S. Tell my "blog buddies" I miss them, too! I still sneak on here and read their posts, just don't hang around long enough to comment. I promise to work on that one too.
