Reasons Why I Am Not Writing a Good Thursday Thirteen Post:

1. I'm exhausted. Lots of chores, lots of blogging, too much laundry lately; one kid had to finish a whopper research report, another one is starting a research project, and another a book report.

2. I've got writer's block, overload.

3. My eyes are sore from staring at the laptop screen. The LCD monitor must be going or something. It seems dimmer and my eyes are strained. Hmm.

4. Template problems with my other blog. Header problems with another one.

5. I've had a stomacheache for the past two days. yuk.

6. My basement has been flooding again. It's winter now?!

7. I'm preoccupied learning more about SEOs, social networking, and the skills of blog writing.

8. My house is very dusty.

9. We haven't been out for a trip in a month.

10. I found another gray hair. A long one.

11. My kids don't like to use the dictionary. So guess what they do all day.

12. I'm surfing the recipe blogs, looking for new recipes.

13. I'm still trying finish my books Reason in the Balance by Philip Johnson and New Testament History by F.F. Bruce-- riveting books.

Maybe next week I'll feel more motivated.
