Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

Did you all miss me? It's been over three weeks since I posted, jeez. There is no good excuse, except that I have no blog material and no time in which to post it. I thought that being a SAHM would afford me countless opportunities to write about my life while eating bon bons and watching soap operas, but sadly it has not. My computer is on all day but I never get to just sit at it and do what I want. If I did, Timmy would probably be eating cat food in the toilet as soon as he saw me momentarily distracted.

Even if I did have time to write, I have to be honest with you, there is nothing interesting to say these days! I'm no longer balancing motherhood with law school or studying for the Bar; I don't yet have to balance family with work. I tried, and failed, to document my attempts at living slightly more frugally. I feel like I have nothing to contribute to your Google Reader, so I have stayed silent. And then when you've been silent for a while, you have interesting blog topics pop into your head, but you can't just post on some totally frivolous topic without acknowledging a 3 week absence. And fessing up to being a completely boring person with nothing to say seemed like more effort than I was willing to put into a post.

As I'm writing this, it's dawning on me that I only started blogging to create a therapeutic diary. I wanted to have a way to look back and remember what I did and how I felt during a great time in my life. So maybe I'll start writing about my nothing soon and hope that one day it adds up to something interesting.
