Obviously I need to come up with a good reason for not posting since Easter. I am probably the world's worst blogger. How do those people who write in their blogs every day do it? So here are my reasons for not writing:
1. I am lazy.
2. Too many books and not enough time to read.
C. The cat is sitting in my lap and I can't type.
D. My Netflix video came to day.
5. You cannot type while laying flat in a hammock.
6. Shopping! (Not at the grocery store, either)
G. It's another Law and Order marathon.
H. I am busy losing yet another Words With Friends game.
9. I am reading other people's blogs. There are a million of them out there!
10. The REAL reason is my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Huff.
In fourth grade we were expected to do "creative writing" every day. Here is your paper. Here is you pencil. Write a zillion words about such and such. Have I mentioned that I do not perform well under pressure? I HATED creative writing. There is not a creative bone in my body. It should have been considered cruel and unusual punishment. I threw up every day before going to school. My mom, smart and no nonsense lady, would then put me on the bus and send me to school. To the dreaded creative writing. To this day, I am traumatized to write anything, especially anything that someone else might read.
And that is where my excuse for not writing goes down the drain. Cause nobody but me reads my blog. I am sure my kids think my brain is turning to mush or at least getting mushier with retirement. Maybe writing will help slow that down. We'll see.
On a final note, guess what my favorite part of the kindergarten day was? Writer's Workshop! I just loved watching my students learn to write. Hope I didn't traumatize any of them!
