Vegas put me over the edge.
I drove out there in a car sent by GM for this blogger roadtrip. I stayed at a hotel that I will feature on Uptake. I ate at restaurants that I may feature on Uptake. I went to a blogger conference. I got updates about the Notre Dame vs. USC game on Twitter. I networked with the participants of Blog World Expo. I met another gaggle of blog, tech, and web personalities.
I came home with another big bag of free products with brand logos on them.
Sigh.
It’s not that I don’t love this world, or the brands that continue to let us do what we do. It’s just that…
I’m tired.
I miss my children.
I have a day job.
I’m starting to feel guilty when I attend evening events after work. I usually limit them to once a week or not at all, because I don’t get home from work until 7pm as it is. I have about 30 carefree minutes with the kids before the bedtime routine starts. If I go out in the evening, I don’t see them at all.
When I got back from Vegas, I found that despite all the tales I have to tell, I was unable to write them. I’m not complaining. I just need a break. All is well, and I’ll get back to my usual posting schedule soon. I don’t know when, but soon. And when I say back to usual, I am going to make it a point to blog about what matters. Like making fun of annoying yoga instructors, and how Kyle has been dropping the F-bomb just to see what I’ll do.
My house is awesome like that.
Take a deep breath, be “in the moment” for the boys, and WHERE does Kyle hear the f-bomb!!??
Can’t wait to hear about Kyle and about the yoga instructors.
Well, you know what cheered me up recently? It was a little bit like Christmas here the other day. Thanks for the goodies! Cosette was very excited about the DVD, although Juliette wasn’t quite so thrilled. (It wasn’t star wars, so it wasn’t interesting.)
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could blog in our sleep?
And work in our sleep?
And do chores in our sleep?
Then we’d have all day to spend with our kids.
That is, until we they annoyed us and we’d have to take a nap just to get some air.
Awesome meeting you this weekend. I hope I can see you face in real again again – maybe New York next year at BlogHer if nothing else.
And OMG – you use Haloscan too! I thought I was the only Neanderthal left.
Not that you’re a Neanderthal, of course.
A break is a good thing, or so I hear. Haven’t quite figured out how to do that myself.
I’ll still be here when you get back. Enjoy your much needed break!
Enjoy the break and we’ll be here when you come back.
