Neglected Things

I've neglected a LOT of things this summer:

My workout plan
My organization plan
The children's bedtimes ( they have to move up! )
This blog
Myself (always, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing instead)


As usual in August, it creeps up on me that I need to dust of the elliptical, clear out the many pairs of 3.99 flip flops from the bottom of my closet, and get my kids to bed before 10:30 for at least 3 days before insisting that they go to bed at 8:30 the day before school starts.

And now I'm realizing I didn't do much this summer for myself. Didn't document what I *did* do in this blog. I did add myself to Myspace, despite my better judgment. My brother calls it "computer crack" and he's right. He also never reads this blog, no matter how often he's asked to. I have to post this all on Myspace in order to get responses. My mother says she is scared of the internet and doesn't know if she will read this blog. I think she thinks it's Myspace. I've haven't told her about that page.

So this blog has made me painfully aware of my lack of progress AND I've already gone back to work!

Yes, I've gone back to work (I'm not obligated until the 21st, but no good teacher waits until then) and people are asking "what'd ya do?" and this summer I can literally answer: Nothing. So maybe that was what I did for myself. I feel *really* rested, which may be the only thing I have to show for the summer.
