BLAH. BLAH. BLAH.

Maybe it's what some people think when they hear about someone writing a blog.  Maybe it's what my kids hear when I'm telling them for the MILLIONTH time to <insert pick up, put away, stop doing something>.

But these "BLAH"s aren't the customary winter variety most of us can relate to.  I'm not in the middle of the Winter Blahs due to the weather in NEO.  Actually, it's been a pretty enjoyable winter so far. A few big snows since Christmas with warm-ups in the middle to clear everything out.  I can handle this.

No, these blahs are setting in because of the pace of my schedule.  It's gone from "everyday Mommy" pace to "supercharged Mommy" pace all because of ONE THING.

*JUNIOR OLYMPIC VOLLEYBALL*

My passion.  My love.  My escape.
Yes.  It is all of these things to me.  But it's also a monumental time commitment...which means other things have to suffer.

My family? Never.

My friends? I try not to, but maybe a little :(

My perks of free time Pinterest browsing and blogging? Bingo. <sigh>  Enter the BLAHs I speak about.

While I cannot express enough how much I LOVE volleyball season and the wonderful things that take place between January and May, it does eat away at my "mindless" activity time.

I will pledge to do my darndest to get back on track.
Hell.  I just realized I never finished my "12 Days of Christmas" ideas.  I still have 9-12 listed on my desktop "post-it" gadget. Save 'em for next year, I guess!

Tomorrow is a new day.  With it will bring my January Birchbox product review.  Bright side is I actually got to use the products ahead of time!  WAHOO!!!
