Lately I've found myself online less and outdoors more. The temperature has been in the 80's, low humidity and nice sunny skies have filled my days the last few weeks. The kids schedules are a little more hectic than in the winter so I'm chauffeuring more often. My garden is taking off...finally...and our fishing hole is quite fruitful. We are truly enjoying life. Short walks around the block, visiting with neighbors, attending fairs & festivals, and admiring the sun set at 9:30pm! I am so thankful summer has FINALLY arrived. I want to enjoy as much of it as possible before the days of 20 below zero with six feet of snow arrive again. I have a hard time making myself stay behind the computer when Mister Sunshine is calling me to bask in the warm light!
I do feel guilty for not posting more often and reading more of your blogs. I so miss being "in the know" on everyone's latest recipes, crafts, deals, steals, and daily drama's. I catch myself thinking, "I'll catch up on the Might M's tomorrow" or "I'll find out what Lisa and Grace are up to on my Google Reader tonight" but tonight turns into tomorrow which turns into later in the week. I'm such a guilty procrastinator! IT'S HORRIBLE!!! When I do catch a free moment from running place to place, crafting, sewing on my MIL's quilt, cleaning the house, or bringing laundry upstairs, I find myself so darn tired I drift off to sleep!
I often wonder how all you ladies do it. You blog every day (or nearly every day) while shuffling the kids off to their activities, homes cleaned, dinner cooked, gardens (much bigger than mine) planted, crafts made, pictures taken AND uploaded (which I never can get done in a timely fashion), parties planned, all while keep up with your workout schedule. There's got to be some big secret to getting everything done...right???? Well, until I unearth the secrets of Wonder Mom, I'll just keep juggling it all the best I can. Writing when I have time in between being the family's personal shopper, chauffeur, landscaper, cheerleader, house manager, financial adviser, psychiatrist, and personal secretaries (or is assistant more PC?).
I'm all ears if any of you have a few tips to help me stay on track this summer!
4 Smart Sayings:
I'd like to know the secret as well :) I'm posting occasionally because our summers are just too short to be inside. I'm up very early on a Sunday morning catching up on my blog reader and posting to my blog.
Don't feel guilty. Enjoy the simple pleasures of summer and post when you can...I love reading your post, but understand that they may not be as frequent now that a beautiful summer is upon us. Enjoy!

I get up really early to get some blog reading done, but I have definitely found myself commenting a little less often right now. And I am absolutely posting less! I wouldn't feel too bad about it, we'll catch up when school starts and the weather gets bad again!! ;-) Thanks for the shout out!!

I would be doing the same thing you are doing. Enjoy your summer weather and the precious moments with your children. I myself wonder how you women do it. I am much older and it can take me hours to read posts and I don't have little ones running around or a bunch of other things to do. Sometimes I am at my computer most of the day. I would definately trade my computer time for the opportunity to be raising my family again. We will be here when you get back.
I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one who's posting and commenting a little less! Now that my step sons are here for the next month, I'm just hoping to keep my sanity in tact till school starts! Have a great week everyone!!!
Frugally Fun
