My Brain Has Decided to Take a Vacation
I literally can not come up with a coherent thought. I keep trying to get motivated to write a post about something, anything, but I can’t do it. I head over to Twitter and I can’t think of anything to tweet other than “Why do babies look so damn cute in overalls?” or “Does anyone know where I put the DVD remote?”. So I just catch up on what other people are talking about and close my computer in defeat.
There are posts floating about the internet that are making my head explode, but I can’t bring myself to comment for fear that I’ll sound like a complete idiot. My head is foggy. I mean, Michelle Obama posted on BlogHer today and I can’t bring myself to READ it. Hello?! What the fuck is my problem?
I’m tired. Exhausted. Worn out. I’m retreating to Grandmaother’s this weekend in the hopes that a long weekend of having grandparents to entertain my kids will allow me some time to sleep in and relax (surprise, Grandmaother, I have ulterior motives!).
My (website) stats are pathetic, and while the part of me that would love to see minimal some ad revenue is cringing, the other 99% of me really doesn’t care all that much. I have a folder FULL of people who need to be added to AllMediocre, but I can’t even bring myself to do that (if you’re one of those people, I PROMISE I’ll get to you soon. Really. I will. Email me to make me feel guilty). Which reminds me that I have a Mediocre Topic to post today. It’s 4:19pm and that’s the first time that thought has passed through my brain. (Many thanks to DExtraordinaire for taking this off my plate!)
I’m overwhelmed, I’m tired, I’m unmotivated. Hopefully, for your sake, I’ll be back to my old self soon. And if I owe you an email (or a THANK YOU you awesome ladies who attended, in person & in spirit, the DC dinner) I’ll do it soon. I promise. I also vow to visit your blogs and comment again soon. I just haven’t been able to do that recently either. And that’s no empty campaign promise. I really mean it and I’ll see to it that it happens. :0)
In the mean time, because I can’t stand to not say anything political read this. I read it at least once a day. Really. I do.
And, please, can someone PLEASE tell me why babies are so damn cute in overalls?

You need to take a break and not worry about all of us on-line folk for a while. We’ll be here to bug you when you feel like coming back! Oh and guess what, I’m actually going to do a traveling post tonight instead of dropping the ball a-gain. Shocking, I know. Have fun this weekend.
Babies are damn cute in overalls.

Cute is right. I want to give him a squeeze!
Don’t feel guilty about being unmotivated. You just need a break.

Send me the All Mediocre additions and I’ll take care of them. Take a break! Come to Ohio, it’s a great break-taking place.
Luv you!

If you need any help with anything please don’t hesitate to let me know.
And I agree with Amy, Ohio is a great place to be. And the colors are coming to peak around here and it is GORGEOUS!! (I can’t speak for Cincy as it is over 4 hours from me)
And why do babies look so damn cute in overalls? I don’t know but I was really sad when my girls wouldn’t wear them anymore, because they totally rock!

WHO has an answer for overalls or blogger fatigue? Maybe they are related in some cosmic way.
Hey, count me into the funk. I laughed at the twitter block. I have been experiencing it in combination with twitter stage fright.

That sounds like me when I was pregnant.
I’m a sucker for overalls too. And the glasses just kind of put him over the edge!

Oh – so cute. (Is that a pluto shirt under there? And was that taken at Disneyland?)
Don’t worry about the funk – we all get.

I’m with you. This is the first post I’ve read in, um, I don’t know how many days. And I’m only here because you tweeted it, and it seemed like a much easier read than the Obama article I want to read in Newsweek today.
Take whatever time you need. We’ll be here when you get back. Because we totally understand.

You’re being far too hard on yourself. I think it’s pretty typical for your brain to take vacation at a different time than your body. Whenever it decides to return, you know we’ll be right here waiting for you. And, of course, let us know if we can do anything to help.
(Of course, it could just be those braincells regenerating from the sangria!)

I’ve been there. Sometimes just taking a break from the computer or just taking a break is all you need.
Babies do look darn cute in overalls (especially yours) but my little one won’t wear them anymore. She says they are scary. I don’t even know what that means.

I’m with you – I took a little break, and my stats are pathetic right now, too. But I’m slowly working my way back.
Hopefully your brain will catch up with you after a nice, long weekend with Grandmaother. And, hey, if you need some bloggy company… I’m only an hour away from Sacramento!

Take some time for yourself, girlie. We all need it. We all GET you being exhausted. Get some rest. Screw stats. And come back when you feel refreshed. Sending hugs.

Babies are most definitely NOT cute in overalls. Don’t understate things, Meg…. babies are FRIGGIN ADORABLE in overalls.
I feel like such a girl sometimes now.

You must be in my head or something, because, YES, I hear ya. I’m doing… OK… on the posting thing now, but the reading/commenting/keeping up on my shit part? Nope. Not so much.
As for babies in overalls? I think you could devote a whole post to pics of just that, and I’d be happy
VERY cute, oh yes oh yes…

The whole blogging/tweeting world has its own ebb and flow for each of us — don’t let not feeling up for it stress you out even more. I can promise it’s not like any of us are A. Going to take it personally or B. Going to forget about you if you take a time out for yourself.
As for babies in overalls, IMO it’s because they look like they’re wearing old man clothes in our minds (like this http://tinyurl.com/4cz2d4) and yet they’re chubby and adorable. You probably didn’t want an actual theory, but there you go.
Take it easy.

I’m with you – I honestly think it’s the season. Time for stocking up and getting ready to hibernate. But all I’m thinking about is, crap, Halloween is only 2 weeks away, then Thanksgiving and all the family stress that brings, then Christmas shopping…
Sorry, I’m probably not helping.
Have a long, relaxing, quiet weekend. That’s what grandparents are for.

Babies in overalls are the best. My girl wears them non-stop even though she kind of hates them. My absolute favorite baby wardrobe item (although tiny shoes are up there too)
Its okay to be unmotivated! Taking a break is good! The internets will still be here when you are ready to dive back in.
