Absent

I had this whole post about the past weekend just about ready to go. Then, I had to leave to drop the girls off at school and Jason off at work - still functioning as a one car family. Not as much fun as I thought it might be. But, it's almost over and I am grateful for our friend Jimmy who is bringing the 'blue car' back to life.

Anyhow, when I returned from my chauffeuring duties, I sat back down to finish the post and I just froze. I was stuck and couldn't move forward with it. Whatever direction I may have been heading with my post was lost. Forever stuck in some limbo state. Never to be remembered. I was mad. I thought it was going to be so good. Well spoken. Aptly described. Dotted with pictures. 

Not going to happen. It sits in my drafts, lonely and half-done. And there it will sit, collecting dust until someday when maybe I will remember how I was going to finish it so that it satisfied my loose yet harsh standards. 

This is what happens when I get distracted. My brain runs amuck and nothing is safe. Even something as simple as laying out the past weekends adventures. Maybe this weekend will be better for me. Three days off. A volunteer plant sale (more on that later). And some much needed time with the girls and Jason. Let's see how it goes.
