When I haven’t done something for a while, I temporarily lose my confidence. Take going to the gym. I haven’t done that since George Bush (guess the middle initial) was POTUS.
Take sleeping. As someone who has experienced insomnia, one bad sleep can make me freak out more than Gwyneth Paltrow does around cooked vegetables.
And take blogging.
Earlier today, I said to my husband (who I’ll call Chris since that’s his name), “I don’t know what to write about. It’s my first blog post in a long time.”
Chris said, “Write about your loving, supportive husband.”
I raised my eyebrows in mock disbelief, challenging his assertion.
He smiled. “That would be fiction,” he said.
I laughed.
We both know I don’t write fiction.
Unless it’s for the five-year-old crowd.

See you on Friday!
Your turn: What have you been doing (or not been doing) over the past two months?
Nice to read your bloggage again.
Your new blog site is all high tech. I spent 15 minutes looking for the “Like” button. Finally, I had to break down and read the manual.
See you soon.
Ha. I likely can’t find it either. Most days I have trouble finding my sanity.
Now I have to figure out how to get an interesting gravatar. I’ll likely have that sorted by 2015.
I figured the gravatar thing-ie out. Before 2015!
Just finished “Don’t Lick The Minivan”…made me laugh out loud, and wipe away a little tear occasionally as well…keep on going, and remember grownups need good books too…when you get a spare minute or two,that is
I wish you all good things!
Thanks so much, Linda. I’m starting work on another manuscript for adults this summer (though I’m not sure how grown up it is!)
I haven’t blogged in a LONG TIME either. I was doing GREAT until about January and then something happened to me and I got weird bloggy stage-fright (like, such surprising page-view numbers that I kind of freaked out that “SOMEONE IS READING!” A bunch of someones.)
So, I’ve learned that I can stand on a stage and sing show tunes without breaking a sweat (except from the lights), or write TV commercials seen by hundreds of thousands of people, but writing blog posts that people are actually READING scares me! WTF?!
Ha. Is it the “I can’t erase it” thing?
Only in my NIGHTMARES would I sing onstage. Actually, maybe in other people’s nightmares, too. Singing is not one of my talents.
Enjoyed your book! Laughed out loud many times and could relate . Stayed with my daughter and her 5 children when she had her twins Love your humor and looking forward to more
Nice to have you back. Looking forward to your next book, but keep blogging – we miss you when you’re gone.
