Sandwiched
I always mean to write on Sundays. I brainstorm and I plot talking points and then Sunday just… gets away from me. Why Sunday though? I think it’s a lingering “need” from a time I was blogging more religiously and had self-imposed deadlines and word count minimums. Does it still need to be done on Sunday?
No, but maybe I’m a creature of habit.
Blogging on my phone is the worst. The. Worst. And…

Weeks
It’s been 2 weeks since my last blog and it surely wasn’t for lack of trying on my part. I am surprised at some of the struggles I’ve dealt with. If you participated in Ask Me Tell Me, I am grateful for you. I think I only got one comment to post publicly (Hi, Megan!), but I got 3 privately that warmed my heart and made me cry happy tears. Thanks for playing, friends.
I thought March 3rd would…

Cheerleaders
It’ll come as a shock to no one, but I have a slew of people who care about me, my well-being, and my successes. They support me verbally and emotionally when I struggle (even when those struggles make no sense to them), and they cheer me on with my little successes (even if/especially when they don’t understand why I might be celebrating a victory).
This week, one cheerleader who stands out to…

Grab Bag
I started writing late tonight and without much direction. For anyone who knows me, this is neither new nor exciting. Procrastination has always been a fault of mine, but I do admit that I work better under pressure. In this case, I’m not bumping up against any deadlines or limits save my own. So where’s the pressure?
The pressure is the goal I set to get back into writing. Previously, I had a…

Struggling Still
I knew it wouldn’t be easy, picking up blogging regularly again. Rebuilding the habit is easy enough, and I find myself at least making the mental note to write on Sundays – if not actively setting aside time for it. I was busy today, however, so I knew my free time to write was going to be minimal. Short, sweet, and to the point incoming!
I’m listening to Matt click-clack-clacking on his…

First Snag
I’ve disliked every word I’ve written all night long. I’m torn between so many different little stories that I find myself lacking direction and focus. And anyone who has ever met me knows that focus is probably not among my top traits. Do I talk about The Brood? Do I talk about the military and where I am today? Do I talk about the move? Do I talk about unschooling the whelps? Do I talk about…

Previously On...
Previously On…
I wanted to start off with something cheesy.
“When we last left our hero…”
“In our last episode…”
“Previously on AmandaZahn.com…”
None of those feel like an adequate start after a 5-year absence. Truth be told, I do not feel like a hero – although others have called me one – and my life does not feel like a series of episodes. My last post was a desperate (is there a stronger word for…

Hiatus
Hiatus http://wp.me/s1fzky-hiatus
What do you say after a year-long hiatus? What excuses come to mind when you all but fall off the face of the Earth? What apologies touch your lips? What promises escape from your hands, cluttering the words of a dusty blog? What? What? What?
What do you…

Shame On Me
You caught me: I am a bad blogger. Some of you likely logged on last Sunday night or Monday morning and found yourself staring at… nothing. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed in myself for skipping last week. I know I was specific when I said I…

Baby Rain
Okay, so baby showerwould be more accurate, but I finally started planning one. I am notorious for allowing life to get in the way of anything involving invitations – read the blog posts covering our wedding for examples – and a baby shower is going to be…

Sunday, Blogging Sunday
I should really be in bed and not blogging. I spent most of the day today with a fever, runny nose, sore throat, and major sinus pressure all around. I have tried to be careful with exposing myself to people who are sick, but you know that these colds…

Slacking
I am taking the cheater’s route on my blog today. I know I did not set a goal for blogging quantity or schedule, but I do admit I feel better having blogged on Sunday night.
I worked nearly every day this week. I am still only working thirty hours or less…

Merry-Go-Round
Life is an ever-revolving cycle of good, bad, and in-between. At the end of each year, and the beginning of the next, friends, family, and strangers advocate a new year and a fresh start. We nitpick the things about ourselves that we hate the most, wish…

It's Home
Okay, so it is still a disaster, but we have enough unpacked and put away that the house feels like home. Okay, my laundry is not hung or put away, but I will get to it… eventually. Having only met one set of neighbors, I cannot comment that the neighbors…

A Disaster...
… But at least it is our disaster. I hope everyone will forgive me a very brief blog tonight as I am exhausted and overjoyed at the same time.
Tuesday of this week found us actively moving into our new home. We rented, loaded, and unloaded nearly…
