5 Excuses for Neglecting My Blog

1. Posting on Facebook gives me the impression everyone already knows what I'm doing.
2. Ted went to Chile to visit his parents and I lost my mind after being alone with three kids for a week.

3. I gave up sugar a month ago and can't find anything happy to write about since then. Our St. Patty's Day rainbow cake was my farewell to dessert. I don't miss fruity sweets, but I feel like I lost a dear friend when I think about the chocolate that I'm missing in my life. I must admit I made one exception when eating the homemade chocolate chip cookies a student made me for Teacher's Appreciation Day. I felt like it was part of my job as her teacher to eat them...

4. I'm potty training Madeline--if this is something that is going smoothly in your house, I'd be happy to trade you toddlers. I feel like my life revolves around washing laundry and cleaning carpets. Thank goodness girls go to the bathroom in pairs so I don't have to always be the one to drag her to the potty.

5. I'm getting my picture fix with the 13 scrapbooks I'm scrambling to complete for my pre-K class. I can't believe they're on their way to kindergarten--the year has flown by!
