where was i?
By heather | May 4, 2009
Alejna is right. I’ve been noticing a lot of bloggers fading away, including myself. The community, at least the circle I was running in, is not what it once was. I always vowed that I would never post an “I have nothing to say today” entry and I’ve stuck to that. It’s not that I haven’t been blogging for want of things to say, it’s the exact opposite – I’ve been too overwhelmed. With everything. I would sit down to write and couldn’t put coherent posts together because my brain has been running and never shuts off. This probably also explains why I’m exhausted, cranky, bleary eyed, rambling, forgetful, etc. etc.
Things I would like to write about, and might actually do it soon:
- Emily Kate being universally adorable and delightful
- our kitchen remodel, now with 100% less knotty pine!
- probably i could explain the work situation that cause me to drop an all caps f-bomb last week
- alex potty training – whee!
- azaleas
- whiny men – also somewhat related to the work situation, but more to yoga
- How i feel about hot yoga when it is already 90 degrees outside
- my wellness blueprint, a.k.a. – my doctor told me I need to drink more alcohol!
I’d also like to start a series: 3am Musings. For various reasons, I’m awake a LOT at 3am. I don’t particularly want to be but that’s when my racing brain comes to conclusions about government, parenting, cures for incurable diseases, and other things of great importance, brilliant but forgotten by 6am. So the series might not work out.
I’ve lost touch with my creative side as I always do when I’m stressed. It’s increasingly hard for me to have fun and be silly. I hate clowns more than ever. Not only have I not found my atman, I haven’t even been looking because I’d created and enforced all these rules for myself about what should go on my blog and nothing fit.
I’m a yoga teacher who doesn’t practice what I preach. I tell people to let it go, that it’s not important in the end and yet I make myself crazy over stuff that isn’t important in the end.
I want to be creative. I want to write and document my kids and my yoga and even my professional side because that’s a huge part of who I am. I want to share photos and find other bloggers whose posts I can’t wait to read. I want to make lists and post about how the lows I’ve experienced have made the highs that much better.
I hope I will.

Ok what is your wellness blueprint that has your doctor telling you to drink more alcohol? That’s craziness and maybe awesome.
Yeah so seeing the blogging strain on everyone, dropping like flies I tell you.

Thank goodness there are more people out there that don’t practice what they preach. Because seriously? I was starting to think that all this dysfunction was just me. There is nothing that makes me feel more connected to the world than getting grips on the reality that we are all so similar!

I am totally losing my blogging mojo. Not sure what the deal is. But I’m going to keep plugging away, even if it’s not as often as it used to be, because I want to document this time in my family’s life, you know?

It’s a season in life; some get through it faster than others. And it’s priorities. Those suck.
