Good Grief… I’m a blog failure.
I like blogging. A lot. I really enjoy writing. Quite honestly, it’s an investment in my own future to be able to remember what I did in life when I get too old to remember. It’s kind of a journalling outlet for me.
But lately I’ve been slacking off.
Well, maybe not slacking off. But I just haven’t had enough margin in my life to sit down and do the things that I truly enjoy. It’s pretty frustrating. But I’m in the midst of one of the busiest, most demanding moments of my life.
My wife is 5 months pregnant with our third child. We’re writing a massive Christmas production together (the scale of an episode of Saturday Night Live). I’m producing said show. And my boss just started his month-long sabbatical today. So tack on some freelance projects that I do to be able to pay Annette for feeding, teaching, and caring for my children, and margin is scarce.
Here’s to hoping things mellow out occasionally so I can hear the quiet.
Your boss gets a month off and dumps everything on you? Good thing he only works 1 day a week. I guess since you are in charge now, we’ll finally get to do “Sweet Rain” for worship one Sunday. We can’t let Jake keep showing everybody else up.
I get tired just reading unmediocre and More Lucy Than June. I guess being pregers and working in ministry, drinking heavily just isn’t an option for you two. Of course you’ll have the perfect point of reference for creating DID to impact those that are just too busy to capture the joy and meaning of Christmas.
