Do you ever feel like this some days?
I am feeling a lot like the White Rabbit. Except maybe taller. And with quite a bit less fur. Oh and I don’t have a tail.
But right now I am so unbelievably behind and late on several things that I’m wondering where the time went! See, my children went out of state for vacation last weekend. This left my husband and I to wander around aimlessly with no schedule whatsoever. I say wandering around aimlessly because we have been able to jump and just do whatever without having to worry about cooking, bedtimes, and other restricting things that come with parenting. 🙂
Then I realized that the month is coming to an end and I have so many scheduled things that need to be taken care of. It feels as though my head is a basketball being spun on someone’s finger. I have emails to respond to, comments to reply to, blogs to catch up on, books to finish reading, goals to catch up on, summer trips to finish planning.
I meant to have this post up on Monday. Then Monday turned into Tuesday, then Wednesday and finally scheduling it for Thursday… I am only four days later than what I had originally planned. Last week, or was it the week before?, I mentioned something about a Very Inspiring Blogger Award.
I’ve never seen myself as very inspiring. At all. Then I was mentioned over at TanGental as one of his 15 nominations. If you haven’t checked out his blog, you should! His posts are full of humor and whit!
At first I was; Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! (My husband was, breathe, calm down :))
Then I was like; ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo (coming up with 15 other blogs is HARD!)
And finally I was; I’m late, I’m late, I’m late! (see above)
So for the Rules:
- 1. Thank and link the amazing person(s) who nominated you. Thank you Geoff!
- 2. List the rules and display the award.

- 4. Nominate 15 other amazing blogs and comment on their posts to let them know they have been nominated.

Now seven facts about me…
- I am completely enthralled with all things Harry Potter.
- I was baptized with my husband on June 7th of this year.
- I was a devoted smoker until two years ago when I came down with a nasty bout of pneumonia and was put into the hospital for a week. I still miss it.
- I have never read a Jane Austen book. I own almost all of the books written by her and have seen the movie adaptations. But I have never taken the time to read one.
- I graduated high school at the age of 16, after I blew off my freshman year (9th grade) and failed the grade. The next two years I worked as hard as I could to make up the lost credits to the point I had not only caught up but bypassed the grade I was supposed to be in therefore graduation a year early.
- Due to a nasty accident last spring, I do not like to drive. I can make it to the grocery store, gym and library, which are all within one mile of my home, without having a panic attack. But that is about it.
- I like to collect things. I have a collection of books, (3 copies of the Harry Potter series), shoes (I could wear a new pair every day for almost a year), music, all things Harry Potter, Little Mermaid paraphernalia, and maybe the strangest of all… USB flash drives.
