For the first time since I started Real World Mom, I’ve gone a whole week without posting anything. That sucks!
I’ve been so tired from working, that when I’m home, it seems I’m always trying to play catch up: rest (hope that actually happens someday!), housework, laundry, emails, etc. I’m still having a hell of a time trying to get into a routine with all this.
Then there’s the writer’s block. (Not only have I neglected my sites (realworldmom.com and thesaltymooch.com), but I haven’t posted on New Jersey Moms Blog or The AntHill in a while either.) I don’t know if it’s because I’m just so tired all the time, or I’m just having trouble switching gears back into ‘blogger mode’ when I have the chance, but I feel like I’ve just got nothing to write about!
The job still sucks ass, a little more now because it’s killing my back. I think I’m just too freaking old for this shit!
Haven’t registered for school yet, and I’m hoping it’s not too late.
I always feel like I’m not getting a damn thing accomplished, and that I’m just doing what I can to get through the day. What a crappy way to live…
Some good news too: I was selected to become a member of cre8Buzz!’s Buzz Board! This, my friends, is very cool to me!
Anyway, I’m still alive, and hopefully I’ll be back–for real–soon!
Send me a cup of java!

I know how you feel, I deal with that like every couple of months, I just get so damned BURNT OUT. But, in happy news, I did drink for us this weekend, but we got a little sunburnt. I’ve been trying to log onto cr8buzz all day to tell you about it but alas, cr8buzz is being an ass today. love youuu.

You’ll be back in no time as soon as you feel like it. Sorry to hear that the job is taking its toll. Congrats again on the buzz board.

Oh, Sweetie, I wish that I could take your place for a while so that you could take a vacation (to Tahiti or somewhere). Congrats on being on the BuzzBoard; you’re a true leader around here, and I’m glad you have a place on the board. Sleep well tonight…

I got here via Cre8buzz–thought I’d check out your blog. Don’t sweat the writer’s block. I think if you put pressure on yourself to come up with something, it’ll take that much longer. Don’t worry–your readers will find you!

Hi, I can relate to feeling like you’re just getting through the day because my daily to-do list seems to never end. Something that helps me though, is spending just 15 minutes on a task each day, setting a timer helps tremendously.
I also like this tip for getting out of writers block - sit down and write about whatever is on your mind. Doesn’t have to be on topic for your blog (you’re not necessarily going to post what you’re writing) but it can help you get past the block. Set your timer for 15 minutes to do that, too, see if it helps.

Completely understand. You can take a week off blogging. We’ll still be here. For me, I think it’s the weather, or school being out that’s prevented me from blogging regularly.

Working hard like that can really take a toll on you. You deserve a break so take it, darn it! Congrats on the Buzz Board thing, that’s cool!
