Where have I been

So apparently some of you think I may have dropped off the face of the Earth because I haven't been commenting on your blogs lately. So here are my top ten real excuses!
  1. Since April I have been back at work, so my amount of blog time has severely been cut down.
  2. Swimming lessons are back, Mon-Thurs and it takes me half an hour to get to the pool, an hour at the pool and half an hour home.
  3. By the time I get the kids fed and do the "go back to bed dance every night" I am exhausted.
  4. I have been to Colorado for work twice.
  5. Since April Nic has been gone for 32 days and is about to embark on another 16 days away.
  6. I have been spending more time outdoors.
  7. I have been spending more quality time with the kids.
  8. Sometimes when I have been using the computer all day at work the last thing I want to do in my spare time is turn on my computer.
  9. I was wondering whether I should call it a day with the blog but I love reading all your blogs and sometimes like the recent "swimming lessons for parents" I sometimes feel I need to share my voice. Plus you guys were great counselors for my "Crushed 36 years later" post and you were much cheaper.
  10. Finally and this is the most important I have been reading your blogs on the Itouch but I am really crap at 1 finger typing and I always want to say so much more than I do on the Itouch.
So there you have it. I really have been reading the Itouch in bed, because you know there is no romance in our house with dogs on the bed, kids coming in to the bedroom in the middle of the night, so what else is a girl to do but read blogs.

I do the same thing. I read on my iPhone in bed. :)

sounds like you've been having fun and keeping busy!

No worries Heather! I was going to write some kind of post soon about how it's now summer and I won't be writing or commenting as much because we just have too much stuff going on too. Hope the job is going well and you manage to kick the dogs and kids out once in a while! I feel for you having Nic gone for such long periods - you're such an awesome mom and wife!

At least you still have a little time to read blogs with that busy schedule of yours.

You are right, blogging is cheaper than therapy. Seriously, blogging has been a sanity saver for me. Have a great summer and blog when you have the time. :)

Life is definitely more important than making a blog post. Keep up with being a good mum!!!

Lots of fun and keeping busy!! That's great:) I can't imagine typing with one of two fingers. Wonder if I'll ever get the whole texting thing.

I was going to say something very witty, but now I have to go take a nap after reading everything you've been up to lately.

Even if you only post once in a while, I'll still read. And sometimes it's easier to read 5 blogs than to comment on one blog.

Easily forgiven :-)

There is life after blogging Heather. Just get on and enjoy it. Remind me I said that, will you?
