A few weeks back, a friend of mine shot me a message and asked when I was going to start blogging again. I handled her message the same way that I have been handling this blog as of late… I ignored it.I have a variety of excuses reasons for not blogging over the past few months. I am not sure any of them are really valid, but I offer the three biggest nonetheless.
I have been busy. I have taken nine hours this past semester as I continue working on what is now my Ed.S. (Educational Specialist) degree, but what I hope will turn into my Ed.D. (Educational Doctorate). I am currently in a bit of a lull as I have finished spring semester and have not yet begun my summer semester. In addition to my responsibilities as a full time student, I have been busy as a full time teacher… a full time dad… and a part-time world traveler.
My personal life has been in the crapper. Okay, I am being dramatic. The truth is that Miranda and I have been going through a really rough time. We are in a much better place now, but the past couple of months have been rough ones. I would dare say that they have been the roughest we have experienced over the past ten years. As a person who values authenticity and transparency, I just couldn’t bring myself to lie on here… and I sure as heck wasn’t going to bare my soul, either. (For those of you who might be tempted to ask, no, we didn’t even contemplate or discuss the big “D.”)
I am not really sure I have had anything to say. I am not so sure that I have much to share that is worth sharing… and even if I did, I am not sure anyone is reading. So, am I back on the radar? I am not sure… time will tell. Frankly, writing is sometimes therapeutic for me… so maybe so.
I read, and it’s quite nice to see you pop up in my Bloglines after such a lengthy delay. Of course, I’m of the opinion that real life should always take precedence over ‘Net life. Congrats on your stellar school accomplishments, and also for keeping your priorities in check (especially where your bride is concerned).
