Slacker

How sad is this the last time I posted anything out here was last April.  I really should be shot.

How sad is that my first born is now 21.  Where did THAT time go?  I remember her as a little slip of a thing trying to speed skate through the kitchen with Brandon's baby hat on.

How sad it is that my youngest is a Senior in high school.  The last Golden Regiment Marching season is over and he is applying to colleges. 

How sad it is that years and years have gone by and while I continue to write manuscripts I never submit any for publication or even the chance for someone to reject me.

How sad I am that my puppy is 11 and 1/2 years old.  His life expectancy is 12.  He takes up most of the bed every night but I will be extremely sad when he leaves us.

I must be feeling a little hormonal today.  I guess I shouldn't be writing.  Or maybe I should?

I guess I am feeling a little bit sad.  Getting closer to the end of another year and I am always melancholy at this time.  Forgive an old woman her musings and read something exciting like Brent's "Where's my Paper Journal"  He always has something interesting to say.

Me not so much.  Just one big slacker day, and night.

  1. You sound very sad. I know that you aren't quite that sad at the moment. You seemed to have gotten on a roll as you typed. Ah. Well. Probably healthy.

    You are not a slacker. You add richness to all of my days.

  2. Kids growing up is part of our accomplishments, sad, but proud moments. Puppies getting older, also part of our accomplishments, sad too. The fact that you've not written a blog since April, sad but also just means you're really busy with life. Not submitting a manuscript...just sad - get on it!

    And your lovely hubby making such a sweet, gooey comment - sad...no wait, not sad, special & wonderful for you.

    Happy New Year!
