A Note to the Readers of This Blog

To those who have been wondering why I have recently dropped out of the blogosphere:

It's called 4 kids + Summer = 0 Blogging time. As you will notice, I have just written a rather lengthy blog wishing my firstborn a Happy Birthday. His birthday occurred over a month ago, and I have been trying to get to it since then. This morning, I decided that I would "stick to it until it stuck to me," to quote my mom. It took me about 3 hours, during which the following things happened:

1. Lots of fighting
2. Crying, flailing children feeling like I was neglecting them
3. Pajamas still on at 1:30 in the afternoon (the clock on my blog is off, does anyone know how to fix it?)
4. 29 items on the family room floor
5. Smashed bits of bread all over the kitchen floor
6. A table covered with various items that need to be taken care of
7. A sink full of breakfast and lunch dishes that haven't been loaded yet
8. Morning jobs are still not done
9. 3 loads of laundry needing to be folded and put away
10. A tired baby that went down for his nap 1 hour late
11. Shall I go on?

You get the picture. Needless to say, blogging is not going to be a frequent occurrence during the summer. Well, I'm off to make up for my morning indulgence. I think I'll be paying for it for the rest of the day!
