{sols} excuses


Slice of Life hosted at the
Join in and share a slice of your life.


Another week goes by ...

I have plenty of excuses
for not writing.
Or even wanting to write.

I'm tired
and it's late --
I just don't feel it.

I've been testing
and scoring 
and grouping.

I had two late nights
connecting with families
at goal setting conferences.

I took one daughter
back to the doctor with
yet another ear infection.

It's raining and yucky
and not creating
that right writing mood.

I just don't feel it.
It's late
and I'm tired.

There are plenty more excuses
for not writing.
Or even wanting to write.

Another week goes by ...

  1. I'm tired, sad but true...it's a hurdle to overcome. Even not wanting to write...I feel that way sometimes, too. You capture it well with your words. You are not alone.

  2. You wrote, even though you were tired, it was late, and you didn't feel like it. Thanks for sharing these honest words. Hope your sick one is better soon, the weather improves, and next week doesn't bring any late night conferences!

  3. Yep. That's how it feels sometimes, yet it is good to get the feelings out of the system. I hope your fall break is very close and during that week everyone is healthy. Hug.

  6. I too can feel the stress Michelle...and so understand it. One day at a time...and it always will be there tomorrow.

  7. I never even got close enough to my computer to make excuses for my lack of a slice yesterday! But, I enjoyed finding this poem about excuses today! I hope your stress was lessened by its very writing. Thanks for sharing!

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
