I'm So Out Of It

You'll notice it's almost June and I have all of one blog post for the year.  Not exactly stellar, but I certainly have my reasons.  I just feel so out of it.  Out of everything.  i haven't been writing.  Anything.  At all.  I haven't been reading any other blogs with any regularity.  I have not idea what's going on in the blog world or the writing world.  Are there still traditional publishers.  I haven't been going to any of my critique group meetings either.

What I have been is tired.  Mama Sarcasm found herself pregnant about eight months ago and it has been less than easy.  With almost an entire trimester of bedrest I have become Single Dad, Nursemaid, Housekeeper and I still occasionally have to go to work.

I don't have time for anything else, and I don't care about anything else, which makes me sad.  I liked this world, this blogging, writing, trying to get published world.  Now that I'm not blogging, or writing, I am, somehow getting published.  One short story a few months ago and another to be published later this year.  Go figure.

At any rate, there is less than a month until Number Two arrives and then I will have even less time for anything.

SIGH!

I suppose I can get back into it when Number Two starts Kindergarten.

See you in five years.

Good luck with that. But...once they start school, you've got Boy/Girl Scouts, ballet lessons, clarinet lessons, Tae Kwon Do, PTA meetings, pediatrician visits...and don't get me started about the crap that starts to fall once they get to middle school....

I haven't done much writing or blogging in a long time, either. In may case, in addition to the usual sloth, it's dealing with the vicissitudes of middle school life and girls, and high school's dramas for boys.

I knew I could count on you Steven. I think you're the last one left.

WEll I have also been out of it. WRote my first blog in months. TOtally unfocused. Life got in the way. Of course if someone would send me baby pictures it might inspire me.....Hopefully things are going well. We sold my mother in laws house, repainted our whole inside house (well, paid someone to do it), went to Chicago for vacation and I start work tomorrow. Hopefully I will get back to writing.
