Technology is only good when it works

Ohh I had the best blog every for you yesterday, thoughts kept on coming into my head, and I was jotting them down in my notes on my phone.  I tried to sit down a few times at my laptop, but it just didn't flow, so I left it for later.  I tidied up the house, washed dishes, and then headed to teach my class.  I was even telling my morning class about my blog, and what I was going to write about, I was excited.  I will save all the good stuff for another day, I got a lot done, but the blog just didn't flow on my laptop.

After class I ran a few errands, and when I got home I had some lunch, and I realized I actually had time to nap.  I am a Doula on call 24 hours, so sometimes my nights are short, maybe from excitement waiting for the call to come, or sometimes attending a labor and birth.

So I tried to write again after my amazing nap, nothing flowed, and then my kids came home from school, and my attention got shifted, and we were busy.  Usually Thursday's we start getting the house ready for Shabbat.  We have guests on a weekly basis, our job is to get all the rooms organized and everything off the floor, so we were cleaning the kids room together.  Every Friday my amazing husband deep cleans the whole house, while the kids are in school and I am at work.  When the kids are home on vacations, my job is to get them out of the way, the Friday cleaning is a staple in our home, our kids know the drill.

By the time we cleaned up and it was their bedtime, I had to run out of the house to meet a Doula client. I didn't get home until around 10pm, relaxed with my husband a bit, and went to sleep.

How could I forget you ask?  The whole morning I was trying to reboot our computer at home, where I usually write my blogs, those are the webcam pictures you always see with the oven in the background and my water machine, and sometimes the laundry machines because the door is open. Our computer froze, and instead of writing my blog, I spent my whole morning before my class trying to get it started again.  I was able to turn it on once, but it was still frozen.  For some reason the writing didn't flow on my laptop.  I always say technology is only good when it works.  When our internet is slow we complain, when our smart phone stops working in the many ways that it could, we are lost.  I always have to keep my charger close, my battery goes fast, I do all my business on my phone, and I need to be reachable, Doula clients can call me anytime.

Soooooo I know it is no excuse, and I apologize to my daily readers wondering what is going on.  All I can say is two things, transition, there is a new chapter in my life, and my clock is off, I just want to recharge and sleep.  Also the house computer really used up my energy, I still can't get it on, I was woken up at 4 in the morning by my baby, poor guy has a cough and a fever, and couldn't go back to sleep.  Then  realized I forgot to blog, OY!

Friday blog coming later today,
Mommy Brain,
Technology on the fritz,
Exhausted from one thing ending and many things beginning,
Readjusting and Restructuring my time,
please accept my sincere apology,
Coach Yulia

This was another distraction yesterday, this gorgeous material caught my eye, I found it at a store for only $20, and the dress itself wasn't my style, so I was asking a few people I knew if I could make another dress out of  it.  I had it in my car since last Friday, bought it on a whim, and realized that the fabric was slightly damaged, and not enough for another dress.
