Finally…
I’m in the middle of writing a post about the Supernanny episode featuring a family with a diabetic kid that aired last week. I have a lot to say though, so it’s taking me a lot of time to organize my thoughts. I really don’t feel like posting at all, but it’s the last day of NaBloPoMo, and how lame would I be to blow it in the homestretch? NaBloPoMo was a bad idea, just as I expected it would be because I already had a little too much on my plate this month. Sometimes blogging feels like a chore, especially when I can’t think of anything to say, and NaBloPoMo has only emphasized that. So this is another pathetic excuse for a post, and hopefully a reminder to not do NaBloPoMo next year because I know better. Quality is better than quantity, and quality has suffered greatly in my insane pursuit of quantity. Mostly I’m annoyed with myself, but I know a few people like to read, so my apologies for not having much more to say than I’m glad November is over. It doesn’t help that I’ve been feeling very ambivalent about the blog lately, or maybe my ambivalence is symptomatic of something greater since I’ve been generally blah. Maybe I just need it to be spring so the sun will shine a little more. Maybe I need a new hobby. Or a job. Or a nap.
I don’t know.
Hope you find your motivation again. This month was hard and you were very busy with lots of WDD stuff, traveling, test taking and such. I know I start to hate things when I end up doing them out of guilt. Looking forward to hear how your philanthropic donations mount up for this month!

You are too hard on yourself. I Love what you write, no matter what. A lot, a little, it’s from You. That is what matters. Your honesty is what is most loved, imo.
Now that December is here, take a break. You deserve it.

This is the first time I have read one of your posts but it was funny and good. Please do not stop.
I see you are an art therapist. I am one class short of my BA in psychology. I was going to minor in art therapy as I think it is a very interesting tool. However, I was almost done and did not want to add all that extra time. Basically, I am tired of school.
I look forward to reading your future works.

I look forward to reading your thoughts on that Suppernanny episode. I can well imagine what you may have taken exception to. Can’t wait! I’m actually getting a tad giddy gearing up for your lambasting of it! *excited giggle!* OK. I’ll pull it together now.

Ooops. I meant Supernanny. Not SUPPERnanny. Hmm. Subliminal slip.;)

It’s always good to me. Everything you write is good.

I have half a post about SuperNanny formulated in my head as well. You know from our conversation on twitter (@dmomblog) that I had a few opinions.
I usually write about diabetes on Tuesday, but there is no way I will get it written by then (though maybe in the 11th hour).
I hope it’s not old news by the time I get around to hitting publish!
(I did NaBloPoMo the first year I was really blogging, but not since! If I could combine all my blogs now, I could fill in a whole month of posts.)
