Okay, okay. I know. I know.
I promised a post every day all month, but you know what? I simply couldn’t deliver one every single day, in order, on the actual day. The actual days were jam packed with events, meetings, planning sessions, absolutely-have-to-be-present school related stuff, a fun dinner date on a Saturday night to meet new people and reconnect with special friends, a narrowly avoided parenting sit’i’ation, an awesome launch of an awesome national program, drop-offs, pickups, and mix-ups, musical instrument acquiring, a whole heck of a lot of form filling, and I even managed to somehow squeeze in a lot of extra hugs, get two gigantic yellow Fall Mums, and have a coffee date with some of my peeps and a couple of tweeps who are now included in my #tweepstopeeps people I have met in real life (IRL).
I will however reimburse you with an equal number of posts by month’s end because, as I have said before, you just don’t show up with a problem. When you are able to do so, you show up with a solution (or two), too!
Welcome to my solution!
My last post was Friday, September 18. It was a photo post because by then the pressure of September was already starting to squeeze me like a Boa Constrictor. Oh well. At least I know better than to stress myself out over a blog post – for Tempered With Kindness.
Oh, I totally stress out over blog posts for other people’s blogs – like, 13 revisions and a near panic attack over photographs stress out, followed by a sanity-stealing screen shot scenario that really was quite the comedy of errors (that I am still not quite sure has worked itself out – whoopsiedoodle!). Thank goodness no one is here at my desk with me as I am giving a colourful language peppered, colour commentary on just exactly why computers are the ruination of all good things in the world.
Ha ha! Hee hee! No worries.All in good fun! I feel much better now.
You have to go through it to get through it and all that jazz …
Anyway, here I am. I am going to post this and then I will somehow post another. I am not sure the second one will be posted tonight, but by the end of September I will be all caught up. I will! I know I can do it.
I hope your September is going well!
Let’s catch up soon!
How has your month been going?
Are you Crazy-Busy?
How are you handling it all?
*Never Google images of the phrase “double header”. You’re just going to have to trust me on this point. Scarred for life, I am!
**Does every single blog post really require an image? Really?!
Tempered with Kindness 
What a lovely post but I cannot believe the pressure you put upon yourself when you are so obviously busy! Family always comes first in my mind no matter what, so I would not worry about posting, we will wait for you. 🙂
Oh, you are sweet!
Do you know what I think it is? I think I am really just hoping to make a go of this and the more I practice the better (hopefully) I will get.
Also, it helps me to keep things in perspective. I am just another Mamma who is trying to do something she can be proud of, you know? My Things are *never* without me and are always numero uno at Chez Peady – likewise Daddy-O!
Sometimes I have so many ideas I want to share, but taking the time it takes (and people who do this know that it can really take a lot of time) to share them in a way that is engaging, interesting, fun, and useful, is not always feasible when there are all the other things to do. September is wackadoodle for parents. 😀
Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words. It means a lot Catherine.
