What happened?

Well, A LOT. But I’m going to spare you all the nitty-gritty details so that this won’t look like yet another excuse blog I write to defend my absence/slack/whatever you want to call it.

That said, this is what happened in point form:

1. We lost our old helper(nanny) and got a new one from hell, which I let go after 10 days, which means…

2. I had 2 months without help (except for my god-sent mother, who also doubled as my life-support during this ordeal), a writing workshop to run and loads of students to teach (+the kids!).

3. We also had 15 visitors who came through town. Yes, you read it right, 1-5. I’m going to be frank – it was a lot of work, but it was also fun and worthwhile.

But the above just covered 2 months out of the 5 that I hadn’t blogged – and I have no more…excuse. I guess I’m just easily overwhelmed and not very disciplined.

I think that’s probably the real reason. They said writing helps you process your feelings and let your true self out. Wow, I guess it’s true.

Now I will have to work on the acceptance part. Ouch.
