Big week sorry for lack of posts
I haven't been blogging this week as you may have noticed.
Just a mild case of burnout.
Oldest daughter had another dental surgery yesterday, another 5 teeth extracted. The Dentist says he's playing musical chairs trying to make room for her adult teeth,
My son got a new set of braces and changed ADHD medications this week he's doing ok but seems a bit disconcerted and moody.
Seems I'm allergic to certain people now. Every time I go out in public and a person gets near me, my eyes swell up and I start coughing and sneezing. I really don't like people to begin with so it's really not surprising that they make me physically ill as well.
Easter was interesting. The whole family was there at my mother in laws acting normal. I'm not angry at them anymore, but now there is a role reversal. My wife can't stand her family and I'm actually not bothered by them. Can't say I'm surprised, after being estranged from her siblings for 3 years she has figured that she doesn't need them.
I'm trying to get out of my blogging funk so bear with me.
Here's a funny

Awe your poor daughter...I hated going to the dentist growing up...still not my favorite thing to do.
We'll still be here when the funk lifts!
Hairspray and certain colognes make me sneeze too. I can always tell when a man is wearing Russian Leather cologne, as I start sneezing and my eyes start watering. :(
Take your time...I understand your state completely. Been there done that, and probably will again soon!
I don't know why people have to take a bath in cologne. It's bad enough we're in pollen season without them adding to the misery.
Hope your daughter feels OK and your son adjusts to the meds.
Hope your funk subsides soon. Take what time you need.
Hai. Missed you, bye.
Sorry, a little cheezburger humor. Not funny?
Okay, I'll stop.
I find it easy to get burned out blogging. Sometimes I get hard on myself cuz I feel like I'm losing my clever and find it strange that I have nothing to say. Me? Have nothing to say? Happens to the best of us.
Glad Easter was easy for ya. Welcome back. :)
Hammer,
Welcome Back. Thanks for the vid..you made me laugh.
I don't really know what is going on but many of the bloggers out there are off the schedule for some reason. I guess we are all burning out at the same time.
Sorry to here about the kids. Man, that must be tough going.
I am also glad I communicate with you via the blogs. I don't think I can take the rejection of you sneezing on me because you were allergic to me.

I feel for your daughter. I have been in her shoes. Lots of soup and jello!
AHHHH ADHD medications. ~pats back~ I know that too...As a teacher, when we have kids change meds or they don't work anymore it can be so disruptive!
Keep working with the DR. One of my students had issues, until my pushing led Mom to take the kiddo to DR..turns out meds needed changing!! Now he is the A student!
*hugs*
I know how it is when life takes a lot of energy...and blogging takes a back seat...
hope everyone in your house is doing well.
Sorry to hear about your daughters teeth - ouch.
Understand the blogging slump. :)
I'm off to the dentist AGAIN today so I can feel for your daughter. Altho that's alot of work, she'll thank you both years from now with big beautiful smiles! :)
I haven't been blogging long enough to get the burnout but that's probably because I don't have anything too interesting to say in the first place. LOL
When the funk is done you'll have plenty of people still here waiting.
Have a happy weekend! :)
awe, that sucks about your daughter. i had to have a bunch of dental surgery too in my braces years and it was bad news bears.
All the best for d
Daughter and Son.
Happy you feel now confortable with family. Wife has still to find a balance with them, which is not easy, and take time but it will come.
oh, believe me, i understand.
i recommend watching the movie "SAFE". ever seen it? if it doesn't cure you of your people allergies or shut-in tendencies, i don't know what will.
rest up and then more blogging!!
Take as much time as needed to get out of your funk. Its not easy and I have had days like that. I have only been blogging for over a year now but still. Hope to see you around soon.
Good for you for moving on from that family rancor. Your wife will get there, too. Petty, nasty people love nothing more than to drag other people into their bag of bullshit drama.
Love the hell out of that video. Isn't it amazing how much more attractive Hils looks in those vids???
we all get in those funks.
Ouch 5 more teeth out. Poor baby.
Kiddo is 11 and I really should get him braces, I just really can't afford it right now.
I've been in those funks.
We'll wait.
Seems like the funk is making its rounds. Hope yours lifts soon.
Welcome backs to ya as well. It's entirely possible that you ARE allergic to the peeps. Some people are just aggravating.
Poor daughter, hope she gets through it with minimal or no pain. That must be really trying for all of you.
Also in a case of funk here..must be spring?
Glad you were able to rise above the petty stuff. Annoying big time, isn't it? Sheesh, you'd think holidays were supposed to be fun or something...
Hope you're in a better mood. Maybe you are allergic to the people's cologne or perfume. I have a really sharp sense of smell so if someone has bathed in perfume it is very irritating.
I'm just glad to see you posting at all.
We all get in a funk sometimes, and those of us that suck it up are rewarded with the funk going away...others just give up and turn into the crazy cat lady on the Simpsons.
I'm allergic to other people's stupidity. It's only a matter of time before I become allergic to their physical presence.
You'd be appalled by my physical appearance. I love people as long as they stay out of my way and don't talk too much about politics or their kids. he he he. Just kidding....cc
It's a great thing when you reach a stage where annoying people don't get to you anymore... Pleased to hear that; and for your wife, now it's likely she won't expect you to see them very often.
Are your daughter's teeth not falling by themselves? She's missing out on the Tooth Fairy!
Blogging less when life gets tough just means you're not a fanatic so don't sweat it.
I know, somedays you just want to live life and focus less on writing about it.
The sheer amount of blogs you visit is mind-boggling (mind-blogging?). Take it easy!
hammer - i went through blogburn here a few months ago and then i found a new reason to be pist!
i'll zen you something.

Classic example of selective memory. As with everything else (FDR ended the depression, JFK and RFK gave us Civil Rights, etc), most of what they believe is made up crap that sounds good. Shouldn't surprise anyone.
Hope the new meds are helping your son, and daughter has recovered from the surgery.
Hope you are back in form soon Mr H! And your children,obviously...on the allergy front - had you thought that it might be their aftershaves?
Something we all go thru. Take a little blogvacation. We'll still be here!
Wow. you have been pretty busy. I totally understand blogger burn out. I think we all go through that.
xxoo
glad your back.
(hope your daughter feels better, I hate the dentist more than anything else in the world)
Good Luck with all of that Hammer. And Come Back when you can. Cheers my good man!!
A break is good, but it does appear that you've got your priorities in hand: your family, yourself, and your blog.
Just glad to see posts, so please don't fret about visiting...sometimes it takes a while for the winter blahs to leave and to realize Spring is here.
You know, I take care of my paralyzed dad and those other people with whom I share blood...siblings you call them? They're just annoying drunk back seat drivers that kick me in the back of the head as I am TRYING to get them where they need to be.
I found life is MUCH easier and less expensive financially and emotionally without em.
I added you to my blog roll, hope you don't mind!
I too suffer from people allergy.
Hope to see you soon!
okay, hammer - enough is enough!
getchur hiney back here so we can kick it!

Isn't it weird how its both easy and hard to slip away from blogging? This recent break of mine has done wonders to rejuvenite post ideas.
Allergic to people... and I thought I was the only one! All the best to your daughter... Hope all works out with her teeth!
have a great weekend!
I hear you Hammer. My blog posting has been pathetic lately. I'd love to tell you that Spring has sprung and I have so much to do, but I'd be lying.
I just haven't felt like it, and I haven't been inspired, so I haven't posted much either.
Hang in there, Dude.
Missing your posts... I hope everything is going well for you and your family.
We're facing dental surgery in our near future. I'm not looking forward to it. I dare say my little guy is even less enthusiastic about it. If that's even possible.
*sending good vibes to your family*
Epi
*snicker* I'm allergic to the general public, myself.....get to feeling better!
A tag, if you're interested.
just checking for an update? hope all is well?
Hope all is going well with you and your family. Thinking of you, and looking forward to a future post!
We all have burnout from time to time. Hope your week is better.
Well I had recommended you as the original China boycott man .... and now you are not here. !
Glad you're back, sweetie. Never mind about the blogging hiatus....it's spring and we're all worn out with winter and elections in your case. I've been posting a lot of funnies to fill in.
Hope the kiddies come through their dental/medical stuff just fine. One of my nephews had similar dental issues and ADHD to dela with. He's survived, emerging as a great 22 year old engineer.
Hang in there, Hammer!!
Just stopping in to say hi and I hope the funk clears.
SMOOCH
To lure you back to blogland, there's a meme on my blog with your name on it, if you want it. Just 6 unimportant things about yourself, but that's harmless enough to get your feet wet again..... ?
Hope all is well.
Ok it's been 3 weeks .. I am officially worried about you!
I miss reading your astute observations and funny anecdotes. Hope you come back recharged sometime soon.
Please take all the time you, and the family need, to recharge, Hammer. Just know that you're thought of and missed. In other words..........we miss the LOL Cats! :)
psssssssst.
just checkin' in on you.....
Come out come out where ever you are!!
okay hammer - enough is enough! at least let us know how you're doing?
Everything ok?
Take all the time you need or want, Hammer. Your blog is great, but it should be fun, not a chore.
5 teeth extracted ? Poor kid.
Allergies to people - your instincts are protecting you.
Just stopping by to let you know you're missed.
