Yes, I'm Behind...What's your excuse?

I knew that when I started this blogging thing that at some point I would fall behind in keeping up with it so I guess it should not be so surprising. Part of me is not happy with this fact since, this has also been a way to parallel and make me keep up with the children's scrapbooks, so since it is a reflection of my real life I am needless to say... behind on my scrapbooks as well. Here are some of my excuses since I have fallen far behind: (listed from the most recent)

1. Zhivanna has been sick with the flu bug since last week. And a sick kid has a way of throwing a wrench into all of life. No working for me or ability to work-out since you can't take a child with a fever to the YMCA. So I have been being a good mommy-nurse but not good for much else.
2. Glenn & I had to throw an 'Alice in Wonderland' Tea Party B-day for Zhivanna on the 17th of January. So we got distracted with making her a costume, getting tea sets together, and working out the theme details and fun. So I got into a sewing mode, not writing mode for a while. (I will do back posts so you can see how cute it came out).
   
3. I had to write out all my tax bills, they are all due at the end of January. This is just usually a depressing thing to do so I always put it off to the last minute; that means last minute in getting the last of needed funds to pay them $$$ and then to organize and send out the checks. I prefer to write them out while drinking a nice glass of red.
4. Oh, yes and the Holiday season. Well I procrastinated on the Santa stuff for Christmas this year. Got it done in 3 days though. I had the family letters and photos ready to send out but that took away the other time I had to blog. Also with Christmas there was the church play, school events, a casual get together with friends and trying to make some home made gifts, so blogging just fell off that list of to do's.
5. Having 3 kids, substitute teaching 2 to 3 days a week, managing the house, working out 3 to 5 days a week, being the BOD secretary for the church and being me got in the way that month and I had to leave something out. I also think I was in the dumps for bit as well, so now that I am feeling better about me, I have to catch up on things.
   

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I can now back-blog and not feel so guilty. I have been able to do some more catching up with my scrapbooks at this time and am only about 5 months behind all 3 kids albums, yay! Merlova and mommy at Gilmore school for lunch with Akorren.
