So. I’ve been sick. The kids have been sick. My sister’s been in town for longer than expected. We had a (small, grandparents only) birthday party for the kids. We were out late on “school nights” twice in a matter of days, attending DNC events. We had a garage sale. Everyone was home for Labor Day. I had a twin club board meeting last night and tonight was back-to-school night at K’s school. And because of all these things, I just cannot seem to get my shit together!
The amount of laundry waiting for me is STAGGERING. I can’t even put it into words, just how much time it will require to fold and put everything away. I have half a dozen children’s musicians waiting for me to write reviews of their awesome music CDs and DVDs so I can give them away on my review blog. In fact, I have a veritable fuckton of product reviews waiting to be posted, but no. I haven’t done anything online in days, beyond occasionally updating on Twitter.
It’s super frustrating to look around at my dirty house and realize just how much I have to do in order to get things where they need to be for our family to function well - and then realize that I’m also ridiculously behind on webby stuff as well. Usually if I’m slacking on one thing, it’s because I’m slaving away at the other, but lately, I’ve just been busy with actual real life shit, or sitting on the sofa whining about the crazy headache I have that ignores Advil and caffeine.
I just wanted to update real quick and let the world know that yeah, I’m still here, and if I owe you an email or a phone call or whatever, give me a minute: I’m not blowing you off, I swear!

I thought you were noticeably absent online! Poor thing - hope you feel better soon. Don’t worry too much about all the stuff that needs to get done - it’ll get there! Everything in its own time.

Wow. You sound Like a busy mommy. I just finished going through my laundry tonight and the first day I had time to clean for a couple of weeks.
I don’t know how you have time to do it with two sets of twins.

I honestly think laundry spawns when we aren’t looking!
