One Stop Boy Shop

I know that I have been very absent from the blogosphere and for that I am very sorry.  I miss everyone SO much!

You see, I reached a point where something had to give.  Between being a mom to 4 kids, having a full time website business in addition to One Stop Boy Shop, housework, trying to figure out dinner, shuttling kids from drama class, choir, detention, school trips and to t-ball… something had to give.

Additionally I’ve been dealing with icky side effects from the nerve ablation that I had done in the back of my head/neck more than a month ago.  They did successfully get rid of my migraines and headaches YAY!!!!  BUT, I got a rare side effect (yay me) and the back of my head is very sore.  The nerves are (to quote my doctor) “pissed off”.  Gee thanks Doc, you just made me lose my G-Rating!

To combat the nerve anger (even my hair hurts), I’ve been having to take pain medication which makes me grumpy and gives me insomnia and also a very scary nerve medication that is used to treat epilepsy. As I understand it, eventually my nerves will forgive the intrusion.  I’ve tried apologizing to them but they are stubborn.  But this too shall pass.

So as I was saying before I interrupted myself… something had to give.  Unfortunately, that “something” was my love to writing and reading blogs as well as books.  Good books?   Nope.  Not really.  I am actively reading 4 books but very slowly and they’re either not very good or maybe it’s that I just don’t have enough time to get into them and truly enjoy them.

I want very badly to catch up with you all and will do so even if it means I have to do it slowly.

It’s funny how blogging gets into your blood.   If it’s not already a saying, it should be; “Once a Blogger, Always a Blogger”.  Even though my words aren’t making it into type, I can’t tell you how often I still blog in my mind.  Something will happen, even trivial and I’ll start working up the words that I would write in my blog.  In the past, those words would make it into my blog as a draft to be completed later.  In the past, “Later” would come.  Nowadays, the words aren’t making it out of my head and into a post.

Even though I’m not blogging here, I’m still and perhaps evermore “Blogging in my mind”.
