Ugh.  I feel as though I have been stuck in a lot of life’s drama lately and it is distracting me.
Big drama has been happening to me on all fronts of my life and I just thought I would let you wonderful readers know the reason why I haven’t been able to post on my blog as much as I would like.  Not that you are hanging on to every word I ever post but I thought it would be nice of me to give an explanation for cutting back lately.
