Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

Perhaps.  Perhaps you've just written me off as a total slacker.  I can understand that.

I haven't really felt compelled to write much here.  I could blame it on the fact that with only 13 days of school left, I'm more interested in helping my children finish final projects, study for exams, complete last minute homework assignments, and attend final band and choir concerts of the year.  I could also mention that I've been intently helping my son prepare for his three black belt tests, the second of which will be this weekend.  I could also note some other life-changing events that have happened, but...............I won't.

I just............don't feel much like writing.  I was on a roll, writing stories, chapters, and song lyrics.  And then I hit a wall.  I was caught in a maelstrom of life events, and my enthusiasm for the written word waned.  I became disinterested in the interaction between my fingers and the keyboard.  Eh.  It happens.

Truly, though, this interest ebbs and flows, as is evident if you've read this blog for any length of time.  The tide will rise again, as it has many times, and I will again indulge in the tickling of the keyboard, but for now, I will continue to enjoy my hiatus.

A side note:  You've probably noticed that I rarely share photos on my blog any more, especially ones of my family. I decided long ago that I did not wish to have others see my children or family and our activities.  While my children have gotten older, they are still vulnerable to the lunacy of idiots, and I will continue to protect them the best that I am able.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and Mothers' Day.  I will enjoy the melodies and harmonies of my children's bands and choirs over the next two weeks, and I am completely confident that a week from this Saturday, I will be watching my son receive his First Recommended Tae Kwon Do black belt.  It's been a 5+ year journey, and I couldn't be more proud of my amazing son.

Later daze, y'all................
