I wish I had time these days.
My blog has fallen by the wayside.
I have so much to write about and no time to write it. I don’t know how you mommybloggers handle it. I can’t even take care of myself and my blog, let alone a whole other person. I salute you.
So, I take the bus to work. I love it. I get to read, something which I WILL NOT DO at home. I try. But I fall asleep. Perhaps I have narcolepsy; perhaps I just don’t sleep enough at night. But on the bus I can relax and enjoy whatever I pull off of my bookshelf next. On my ridiculously long commute.
Allow me to explain a little about my schedule.
4:50 Alarm goes off
4:50 Snooze gets hit. Or just turned off entirely
5:15 I drag myself out of bed, realizing that I now have only 45 minutes to shower and get ready, as opposed to the more cushy hour that getting up at my proper time would afford me.
6:00 Run upstairs to make my cup of tea and throw a bagel and banana in my purse.
6:15 Leave the house felling slightly less rushed, wondering why I don’t push my schedule back 5 minutes. A girl can do a lot in five minutes.
6:30 Hop on the bus to Denver. Settle into my seat, turn on my personal overhead light and open my book. You know why I need a light to read? It’s still dark out. Dark!
7:20 Arrive at the office, begin mostly boring day filled with much too much downtime, wonder my I ever complained about my last job. At least I could blog from work.
4:45 Hop on bus headed to Boulder. Scan for empty row. Resign to sitting next to some random man in suit who will inevitably want to talk to me. Try to open book immediately, thus staving off any unwanted conversation.
4:54 Feel bus come to grinding halt. Look out the window to see we have moved approximately twenty feet.
5:02 Hey, are we moving?
5:03 Nope
6:15 Call Colin to inform him of my impending arrival.
6:20 Step off of bus, into car.
6:21 Head to grocery store. What, you think we actually use that refrigerator in the kitchen?
6:45 Cook dinner.
7:ish Eat dinner
7:30 Do dishes.
7:40 Finally sit down to relax.
8:00 Watch some crappy primetime tv, that I will undoubtedly get sucked into for no other reason then because it is mindless and allows me to turn my brain off.
8:30 or 9:00 depending on the crappy show – Spend some time alone with the husband *wink wink* (except that normally I am way too tired at this point, but I can dream can’t I?)
10:00 Crawl into bed because I am an old lady and I can’t function without at least 6 hours of sleep.
10:30 Pass out cold
What is the one thing you didn’t notice in that terribly boring timetable of my day? Blogging!
Want to know why it’s going to be even worse? They canceled my bus, so now my comfy little reading time is going to be turned into the commute from hell involving three transfers and potentially an extra hour of commute on both ends! Instead of 6:30 to 6:30, it’s going to be 6:30 to 8:30. I may die. Plain and simple, my life could be over.
So that is my terribly long winded excuse for not blogging often enough. And my future excuse when I don’t get any better about it. There is however, one very simple solution. Honey, if you’re reading this, my birthday is coming up, and I’d really love a MacBook. You know, so I can blog on the bus. I’m just sayin’ is all.
