Excuses

So...at the beginning of the year, I decided that I was going to be much better about posting. That's gone well. There are a couple of excuses that I like to use for not updating the blog. 1. I never have a turn on the computer. 2. I lead a boring life, and no one wants to know about it. 3. When I do have time, there is always something to do that seems more important, like laundry, fixing dinner, or vacuuming.
There are several things wrong with these excuses. 1. I can always kick someone off of the computer. 2. Even if no one else reads my blog, at least I have some sort of documentation of our "boring lives". 3. I think that I will just stop fixing meals, and use that time to do some of the things that I would like to do. Eating and food preparation are such a pain. Now that my kids are old enough to feed themselves, I say, "Let them eat Ramen!" Lance can scrounge something up for himself. The problem with this plan, is that I am too much of a people pleaser, and I feel a lot of guilt about things. If I don't fix a nutritious meal, my family won't like me anymore, Lance will think that I'm a bad wife, and we will all be malnourished, and every illness and injury will be my fault. I can't take that kind of pressure, so I guess that I will fix dinner. It would help if the cats and the dog who are home all day, would do a little more work around. I wonder if I could teach the dog to vacuum?
