Where did the first half of January 2013 disappear to?
Seriously, is anyone else feeling as if the month is just flying by? Perhaps it’s because I’m ridiculously busy right now. But when I reflect on what I’ve managed to achieve via my blogs so far this year I feel like I’m slacking. I got back into my Spineless Wonders a week late and I think I’ve only managed two posts so far… that’s pathetic. Having said that, it’s double what I’ve managed to achieve on Before I Forget…!
I owe you dedicated, patient followers an explanation. Some of you already know that I managed to get sick a few times in November. Nasty stomach bugs. It’s amazing how far you can fall behind in such a short space of time. I still have over 1000 unread emails and I was determined to read all of the bloggers that I follow. It looks like it’s time to admit defeat. With 3 pieces of work submitted to university, work to attend, planning a wedding (which is fast approaching), painting my Mum’s living room, creating an ezine – more on that in a minute – I’ve realised that I can’t do it all. Well I can, but I think I’ll make myself unwell in the process! I do hope you will all accept my humble apologies… In fact I think I must make two public apologies to Starstorm and Paula Acton. I have well and truly fallen behind in two projects with this people that I am really privileged to have been invited to. I promise I shall attempt to redeem myself as soon as possible! Thank you both for being so understanding and forgiving!
Shock, horror. I am going to post for a second time tonight straight after I publish this. I’d like to tell you about the ezine my friend Amy and I are currently creating… please come back and check it out!
Sending you all warm wishes to beat January’s Big Chill!

It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one. Good luck to you too!

Don’t be so hard on yourself… you’re in good company

Thanks Maggie! You know, it’s a slippery slope isn’t it… I’ve actually lost a day. I was sure it was the 15th – ha!

Wow Kate! You sound like me!
Slow down! It’s not good for you!
Make sure you take it easy.. Like you said, it’s only the middle of January!

Thanks Apple. I think you’re right. I definitely need to take things a little easier because I can feel everything building and building and building… Hope you’re taking good care of yourself as well!

Kate, I fell behind on a lot of blogs not too long ago. Sometimes, you just have to let the past go, and start fresh with new posts. It won’t offend. You have a lot on your plate, make it easy on yourself.

Thanks Maddie. I think that’s sound advice.

Kate, I can absolutely relate to this post – I’ve also found outside stuff that is consuming my time – my regular job for an example! Anyway, kudos for just saying you need a break – just keeping plugging along at your own pace…

Thanks for the support!
The problem is that the longer I’m away, the faster time seems to be racing past… I must try and get a SW post done today! 
Thank you. Hope your other stuff is giving you fun as well.
