So you asked for an update

Please understand that I am saying this with no harshness, it's just the truth.

I did and do still have every intention of coming back. Yes, I said I can't stand when things are in boxes, and so moving would be easy - I apparently was full of crap. Moving with two children was insanely difficult and stuff still isn't unpacked. The re-model company who re-modeled our place didn't do several things right. So, even though I had internet when I first moved in, I had no outlets because out of all the outlets in our place, only three were grounded (meaning they were only two prong outlets and I couldn't plug in either computer) This caused me to get behind on school work and I actually had to drop a class because of it. I've also been dealing with the apartment people coming in and out to fix things (broken front window that was broken when we moved in, broken back window that was broken when we moved in, broken dishwasher that was broken when we moved in... There's been more, but I won't bore you) Then, the power in my living room blew for no reason (and yes, we tried to fuse box) so I had to deal with a BUNCH of people coming in and pulling out all my outlets to try to figure out what went wrong.

I already mentioned school, but there have been two tests since, and two papers - and that's not including what I attempted to do in the one class I ended up dropping. My husband started a new job, and he's now gone a lot more, meaning I'm alone with the kids a lot more and a lot more exhausted at night.

We've also been dealing with an issue with Eli - we started to switch him over to milk and he's having a bad reaction to it. I won't go into the messy details, but there's been a lot of carpet cleaning going on.

I know that these sound like a bunch of excuses - and they are. You guys wanted reasons, these are it. I totally understand wanting a response, an explanation, a time frame, but at the same time I can't always do that. I like the blog. It's fun for me, but right now fun often comes last. There are just too many other things I have to take care of. I know some people argue that I made a commitment to this, and therefore I owe it to at least end it, and I understand that. But, as I've said before, I don't get paid for this. It isn't a priority. I wish it could be, but it's not and it can't.

I do plan on keeping it going, but I can't promise when posts will be. Right now school is breaking for Thanksgiving, so all I have due this week is a discussion board. Soon, school will be over for the quarter and I won't be going back until January. I should have a lot more time - but it seems like every time I say that, something horrible pops up. I have Eli's birthday at the end of the month and his birthday party beginning of December, but I'm hoping over our Thanksgiving break to pop out a post. No promises.

Sorry if this makes you angry. Sorry for letting anyone down.
