And once more, I post an update saying “LOOK! I STILL BLOG! I’m TOTALLY going to start blogging properly and in earnest again, just WATCH me!” and something happens to make sure that sure as eggs is eggs (and they are. Or is. They ARE is eggs. How does that saying work, anyway?) I cannot and do not blog.
This time, my blog got lice. Evil, terrifying, spam-filled tiny bloglice that meant that whenever people tried to visit my site they got big flashing red signs saying ‘OH NO DON’T GO TO THIS SITE IT HAS LICE! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY OR YOU’LL GET THE LURGY!” and then many of them (you) contacted me to tell me so. And I didn’t get back to many of them (you) because I had literally no idea what was going on and was a bit sad and upset by it all but didn’t have any time to try and work it out.
However, we have now worked it out. I think. And fixed it. Of course, I’ll say that, and the someone will email immediately and say “Oh, by the way, I was just reading something about how your blog was all fixed, and then I noticed my monitor felt itchy, and that there was a little tender rash on the rim of my browser, and then suddenly a BLOGLOUSE scuttled across my screen and frankly I blame you.”
And now… oh god, I don’t know why I’m tempting fate like this again… NOW, I’m totally and utterly and completely back on the blogging thing. Yup. Blogging. Look at me, ma, I’m blogging, etc!
As a fellow-parent-person, I have to say that my “LOOK! I’ve returned to the land of the blogging!” posts, full of must-do-better self-recriminations, far outnumber any other meaningful posts.
So, welcome back, and good luck, but don’t beat yourself up about it if you can’t keep it up. That little person you’re concealing somewhere about your person will just keep getting in the way. It’s what they’re best at.

A blogpost a day keeps the bloglice away, of course…

It gets worse. My LO is now 16 months and people told me it gets better but they get more mobile and more verbal and you can’t stop watching them. EVER.
Maybe when they hit 13-14 and no longer have any interest in us they’ll let us blog?
