Ugh, this week. I just can't seem to get it together. But I did make some time for some confessions and thoughts. so sit back, relax and enjoy. And link up if you want to share.
CONFESSIONS...
- Sometimes I feel like giving up on my blog. I love writing, keeping a diary and keeping family up to date, but sometimes the posts just don't come to me. And when you have June numbers like I do, it isn't encouraging. Ugh.
- I always seem to misspell beneficiary. Even when I sound it out, I usually mess it up. Maybe I just type too fast and get it wrong or I just spell it wrong. But it happens every time and I use that word a lot in my job.
- The baby fever is strong lately. No I don't really want one, but I love seeing all these babies being born. They are so sweet, snuggly and makes me want to give my girls a baby brother or sister and then I deal with terrible twos and I think nope. And I hear the terrorist threes are worse. God help us.
- I have been biting my nails ever since I can remember. It is gross, but I can't stop it. I am so much better with it if I have my nails painted or done, but when I am bored or stressed, I bite them. Awful.
I used to use that liquid stuff that it is supposed to taste awful, but after a few times, you get used to the taste and power through. I have tried sitting on my hands and every thing out there, but I still do it.
- That I would love to revert to my college ways and eat the leftover German chocolate cake for breakfast every morning. We have a bunch left and it has taken everything in me to not do this. Seriously cake or pie for breakfast is genius. That way you have all day to work it off. You're welcome.
- I am sad that for the first time in years, I won't be attending the Rodeo or the JD (Jack Daniels) tent. I feel too old for the JD tent, but it is tradition with my friends and this year I am going to miss it. What I won't miss? Rodeo in 100 degree heat.
- I used to have OCD tendencies when I lived alone. I would check to make sure my doors and windows were locked before going to bed every night. I had to do it before I felt comfortable enough to go to bed. Weird? Yep.
THOUGHTS...
- I never want candy except at work. I get bored and think about yummy fruit gummies, Skittles, Airhead Bites, Starburst, etc. Why?
- My work has a snack shack and I rarely get anything from it. But yesterday they sent out an email saying they stocked it with ice cream sandwiches to beat the heat. Ugh. Why? #givemealltheicecream
- 5 days until the PLL finale. I seriously need this show to be over, but will probably be sad when it is. I need to know who AD is. Ugh.
I always check my door before going to bed, too!!! I am really sad about the PLL finale - I don't want to show to be over, but I DO want to know who AD is.
ReplyDeletewith you on the whole blog thing...and my numbers are no where close to your numbers haha. I can't wait for PLL finale, 2 hours! Who is AD? I have so many questions, it's probably someone that we see in every episode too.
ReplyDeleteI feel that way about my blog constantly. I think summertime is a time for a funk with blogging. I was always the same way about windows and doors. Now that we have an alarm I'm much more at ease.
ReplyDeleteI swear the summer blog rut is REAL. People just don't seem to want to write (or read) during the summer months. I have taken some pretty major lapses (and hits in page numbers) as well recently. And I think it is so easy to daydream about candy and food at work because it is a distraction from..work ;-)
ReplyDeleteI fell behind on my pll watching due to traveling! I understand how you feel about your blog but please don't quit!
ReplyDeleteDont look at the numbers. Blog for you & your memories. Dont give them any mind!!! It only wears you down. I never look at numbers because when I do, I feel defeated - but then think, if not one person read my blog, I'd still want it for me. Think how much you're going to love looking back when your girls are grown &seeing these fun memories. That's what its for ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so the same with OCD tenancies. & when I was gone at camp, I wanted the hubs to do the same thing. He just told me, "I can handle it"... (when I wake up all the time with unlocked doors where he "handled it") - UGHHHHH.
But like....WHO IS AD?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI used to be super OCD about checking the door locks and I still do it to an extent. That and making sure my straightener is unplugged. I feel like we are going through a way of blogger drop outs lately. Lots of people who used to post 4-5 times a week are only showing up randomly now and moral is low. I love all the connections I make through blogging so I dont plan to stop anytime soon but I get the creative block a lot too.
Don't look at the June numbers, or any numbers. You do this for you not that! Everyone around me is having kids or trying and I am trying to keep my slight resurgent (I spelled that wrong the first time) baby fever at bay. I keep repeating ,"I like my life, my life would be over" Have a good day and one more till the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get it together this week for my blog either... thus, the silence over there today. And girl, your June numbers are not alone... mine have PLUMMETED. We are talking they are only like 1/3 of what they were in January. It's awful. Next June I'm just not even going to post. Lol. I feel like I wasted some decent content this month and nobody's even seeing it!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop biting my nails either!! It makes me so mad, yet I can't stop. I'm also obsessive about checking my doors at night, too. I can't go to bed unless I've checked them all!
ReplyDeleteThat is how I am with both of them. Ugh. I just need to stop both. Ha.
DeleteHahaha you've tried sitting on your hands!? That's great! Although I'm sure you don't think so since it didn't work. And yes to not getting it together with blogging. I def don't want to stop but with summer here, I just can't find the time or the motivation!
ReplyDeleteYep. I have tried it all. Sometimes I get on a kick and I am so good about not doing it and then I get bored or stressed and I bite them. Ugh. I just feel like I might need to post 2 to 3 days a week during the summer and then ramp back up in the Fall.
DeleteI have a rough time sometimes when it comes to posting. Some days I can spew the ideas out and others it is painful coming up with anything. I feel you on that.
ReplyDeleteI feel you with beneficiary. I have to type Court of Common Pleas at work all the time, and I almost always type Court of Common PLEASE.
ReplyDeleteI not only have weeks like that, I go for months and actually do give up for a bit. Mainly because life just happens and I have to let something go, but still. And I have a drawer in my desk at work. It currently has a bag of Rolos and Sweet Tart Minis inside. I always need a little snack! Ha. Am your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteSeriously think summer just has every blogger out there thinking it's time to give it up! I actually made a list last week of ideas for blog posts...and they are decent but I just don't feel like devoting the time...I keep thinking does anyone really want to read this?!!
