Sigh

Published by Brillig at 10:46 am under Blogginess

I’m tired.  I’m melancholy.  It’s been a hard week.

And nobody’s here.  Tap*tap*tap!  Is this blog on?  Everyone’s traffic has slowed way down, not just mine, so I’m trying not to take it too personally!  Between school, new routines, sleepless nights, and sick children, I’m not really getting around to my blog rounds and my cre8buzz stuff lately.  I can hardly blame people for not coming to my place!

I think we’re all tired.  Perhaps melancholy.  And we’ve all had a hard week.

Let’s all go eat some chocolate.

Loves and kisses all around.

StumbleUpon It!

    Is there a smiley that portrays “totally pissed off?”

    Because i need one.

    There must be something in the air.

    Love you and hope you’re having better day!

    That and you obviously have not noticed that Thursdays in blogland are slow. My theory: all the workers are getting all of their ‘real work’ done so they can coast on Friday.

    Chin up! :D

    DItto that. SOrry about the slowness thereof…

    I wonder if the melancholy has something to do with fall? Autumn does this to me.

    Anyhoo, come out and play…I’ve tagged you for something! You can thank me later.

    Yes! Chocolate–that’s the ticket.

  6. Annieon 13 Sep 2007 at 12:34 pm

    I’ve noticed the same thing. We have no chocolate in the house - and I have resorted to baking cookies to fill that void! They’re in the oven as I type - if you were closer I’d have you over for some. I might even stretch to a glass of milk to dip ‘em in ;)

    Just waving hi! I’m still around. Just lazy.

  8. jenniferon 13 Sep 2007 at 12:43 pm

    And I thought I was the only one boring people… Except for you, that is. I’ve felt the same way lately…

  9. temporarily me (sam)on 13 Sep 2007 at 12:49 pm

    I’ve so been taking it personally. I was thinking I had done something totally wrong.

    Since my schedule hasn’t changed at all, I forgot about everyone else.

    I want chocolate.

  10. Sketchyon 13 Sep 2007 at 12:50 pm

    I’ll take my chocolate as dark chocolate truffles.

  11. Mommasworldon 13 Sep 2007 at 1:00 pm

    I thought it was a change in the weather but you have really good points. Here it is School, Brownies, and a few other “new” additions to our routine.

    I am here :-) I am visiting :-)

  12. andion 13 Sep 2007 at 1:11 pm

    I’m having the same week over here! I’m going to take Annie’s suggestion and round up some chocolate. It certainly couldn’t hurt.

    Hope the melancholy yuckiness passes soon.

  13. Heffalumpon 13 Sep 2007 at 2:05 pm

    I already ate three white chocolate Lindt truffles, and I am not feeling any better.
    Today is just a…blah day. Maybe its just that shift between the end of summer and the beginning of fall.

  14. VirtualSpriteon 13 Sep 2007 at 2:11 pm

    Oh, thank you! I’m not alone! I thought it was just me.

    I finally gave in and bought two bags of Snickers. One for home (to share with family) and one to keep at work that I will share with no one. No one! It’s Mine!!!!!

    (although I might share with you guys…)

  15. nellon 13 Sep 2007 at 2:16 pm

    Yeah, it’s hard not to take slow traffic personally (what did I say? what did I do to offend everyone?) but the school transition has made my life hell, I’m hoping next week will be better once we get into a routine.

  16. Kimberlyon 13 Sep 2007 at 2:21 pm

    There’s no chocolate in my house.

    I’m trying so hard not to cry but…

    Thanks so much for the sweet note. You made me feel loved. Missed you too!

  17. carrieon 13 Sep 2007 at 2:58 pm

    seriously!

    for freaking wow this week has SUCKED.

    it’s getting better, though…and i’m glad that it’s not me. in fact, just about every woman i’ve talked to this week has just said it’s been terrible.

    here’s to next week’s bliss and awesomeness (if we can all just survive until tomorrow…)!

  18. Dedeeon 13 Sep 2007 at 3:01 pm

    It must be the air, cuz I am bleaugh too.

    Chocolate it is.

  19. Smiling Momon 13 Sep 2007 at 3:05 pm

    Thank goodness it’s not just me… I’m having a hard time keeping up with my new schedule and the blog thing…

  20. Burficaon 13 Sep 2007 at 3:23 pm

    yayyyyyyyyyyy chocolate.

  21. Maliaon 13 Sep 2007 at 3:37 pm

    “Let’s all go eat some chocolate.”

    Well, if you say so. I’ll take one for the team and attempt to choke some down! I guess I could add it to my grocery list! If I have to!

    ;)

  22. Soccer Mom in Denialon 13 Sep 2007 at 4:13 pm

    It has been a hard week to keep up with everyone. I’m trying to be involved with the boys’ new school (went to a - gasp - PTO meeting Tuesday eve) and then someone in my family was hospitalized so we’re a bit on edge.

    Hang in there. And thanks for asking how we all are in Brillig-fan-land.

  23. A Whole Lot of Nothingon 13 Sep 2007 at 6:28 pm

    Whew… I thought it was just me. Traffic is down for both of my sites. I was ready to eat until it picked back up out of depression. Now I’ll just eat.

  24. Cathouse Terion 13 Sep 2007 at 6:38 pm

    Chocolate kisses to you!

  25. Carla Streamon 13 Sep 2007 at 7:40 pm

    I’m still out here. Still readin ya! Where is everyone else??

  26. Alex Ellioton 13 Sep 2007 at 7:58 pm

    I’m still out here too! Although to echo what others have said, this week has been hard with school starting. I would so love to eat chocolate now. Instead I have to head for bed so I can be at the gym at 5:30 tomorrow morning. Eating chocolate would be much better.

  27. BetteJoon 13 Sep 2007 at 8:14 pm

    School starting for me means kids going to college. It’s mostly quiet around here and I appreciate the good bits. You know, I clean - it stays clean. No ’stuff’ to pick up after someone else. Blog traffic? I dunno, I’m okay with my little corner of the blogging world.
    That being said - I DO have some dark chocolate M&M’s sitting on the kitchen counter. Might need to check them out!

  28. Jewelson 13 Sep 2007 at 9:01 pm

    Oh, dearest - I know how you feel! Although, I think I’m feeling more Bi-Polar than melancholy. One second I’m super happy and giddy and things in life just couldn’t be better. A few minutes later? Frustrated and upset and grrrr. NO idea why, I just am. I highly suggest that some serious cravings be indulged! Mine? Purchasing random songs on iTunes…I’m on my way there NOW!

  29. Jerseygirl89on 13 Sep 2007 at 9:34 pm

    Do you think it’s wrong if I use your post as an excuse to eat all my kids’ M&Ms?

  30. MammaLoveson 13 Sep 2007 at 9:59 pm

    Yeah, I’ve been hating my blog. I feel like I’m stuck.

    But you? You continue with fascinating stories.

  31. AbsolutelyBananason 13 Sep 2007 at 11:00 pm

    It’s so true… it HAS been a hard week. I can’t even think of anything to blog about, when usually I am BURSTING with material. Sigh. Here’s hoping for a better NEXT week!

  32. Jenon 14 Sep 2007 at 6:40 am

    I was away for a couple of days dealing with hives and an agent nibble…

  33. Jamion 14 Sep 2007 at 9:19 am

    The week was OK - just busy for everybody, I think. But chocolate is sure to make it better. (and maybe some bed rest and tequila, which is always good for fixing what ails ya.)

  34. Fourier.analyston 14 Sep 2007 at 9:27 am

    Here I thought it was because I had not done anything on my blog this week. Three school meetings that I did not get home from until after 11PM, and now I’m hit with a Fibromyalgia Flare. I didn’t even do Friday 15 when I have at least 15 things to complain about easy! Now what wine goes with chocolate (besides my favorite “I want to go to TEXAS! this weather sucks!)…?

  35. housemouseon 14 Sep 2007 at 11:50 am

    Well, you hit that nail on the head. I’m here, doing some lurking. Been living the adoption roller-coaster, seems to be slowing down now. I blame it on the season change. “SAD” and all that.

  36. Jo Beaufoixon 14 Sep 2007 at 1:39 pm

    mmmm, chocolate.

  37. Shaunaon 14 Sep 2007 at 3:59 pm

    You know what they say about women who hang out together - they all get their periods at the same time. I think it must be that time of the month in the blogosphere…

  38. annoon 15 Sep 2007 at 1:58 pm

    School’s made things busier, for certain. And work’s picked up. Trying to learn new dance steps means I’m spending a lot of time tripping over my own two feet… Eating chocolate sounds like a lot more fun.

  39. Jackieon 15 Sep 2007 at 2:47 pm

    Know I’m a couple of days late but if you’re offering chocolate I am so there!

  40. Butrfly Gardenon 18 Sep 2007 at 11:52 am

    I know what you mean. (Really? Disappearing Girl? Do You?)

    Blogging becomes a lot more popular come November or so. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess it’s because of snow for a lot of us. Or just colder weather. Or falling into routines.

    But…do you think it signifies a problem when I get home from a long day of non-internetting and find no mail and it makes me cry inside?

    (Okay, yeah, breaking my rules today, I’m mostly caught-up, but still being watched. Grr.)
