During the past week I've had a death in the family, I've been battling another family bout of the flu, and I've just been too exhausted to read or write. I wonder is it okay for me to take a break for two weeks or so? Would anybody miss me?
I look around at other blogs and I notice some people take months off at a time--granted they've been around long enough to take a hiatus every now and then. But I notice others who started after me does be teking looonng breaks from I don't know what. Brass and Ruel come to mind. But maybe them boys got nuff work to do around Guyana. I hear jobs plentiful down there as long as you ain't looking for work at CLICO.
But then what would I do if I didn't blog for two weeks? I'm not an everyday blogger, but when I'm not blogging I'm more likely than not spending hours researching and reading in preparation for blogging. So what would I do with those hours if I took a break for two weeks or so?
I could spend time with my mother and sisters. They complain that I don't. Would be nice to catch up with them. I could go play in the park with my kids. They'd love that. I could spend more time pleasing my husband. But wait. Isn't that one of the reasons why I started blogging in the first place? I thought it would please him immensely if I found something to do other than nag him. Stupid me. That worked for the first month or so. Now he complains that I spend too much time on the computer and not enough time inging. Go figure.
The truth is, I can't stay away. Even when I get too tired and I don't fulfill a promise to post on a particular day (don't know why I keep insisting on doing that), I feel guilty and get right back to it.
And yeah I tell myself there's plenty of time to sit and chat with family and play in the park with my children, and I'll just replenish my husband's stock of porn that he thinks he's hiding from me. And I'll mourn my loved one's passing as I write way into the wee hours of the morning.
But I know I'm only kidding myself. So I have to take a break soon. Really soon.
