Letter to the Blog-o-sphere Teacher

Remember when you were in school and you missed a day, your mom or dad had to write a letter when you returned to say why you were absent? My mom used to write these for me. So, because I've been absent for about 26-7 days from the blog-o-sphere, I decided to write a letter, my mom doesn't know what a blog is so I couldn't get her to do it.

Dear Blog-O-Sphere:

Please excuse Ilnizzzah from being absent. She has not been able to read nor post to blogs because for the past three weeks she has been very busy. Ilnizzzah is taking a graduate course this spring to try and 'work her way' back into being a grad student, she hopes to apply to a graudate program for her PhD in the near future. However, what she failed to realize is that it is extrememly difficult to manage being a new mom, a new home owner, a wife, a teacher, a sister, a daughter, and a cousin and also read 100-200 pages and write critiques that actually make sense. She also did not take into account that she'd have to start a job search because her current employment is about to be over. She was saddened by this, but is now working to start her own business, so as you can see she does have her hands full!

I am not writing to get sympathy, because Ilnizzzah well understands that there are people out there who have far less and have to do far more than she wrap her head around. I am writing just to let you know that she regrets being absent, but had to reset her priorities and hopes to be more of an active participant because she does so enjoy blogging.

Ilnizzzah is working very hard to learn how to balance all of her roles and responsibilities. It has not been easy, but I feel she is making progress.

Thank you for you attention to this,

Ilnizzzah in the *parent* role
