Make-up work and backseat blogging

So as you all know it's been a while since I've published my unparalleled wisdom and knowledge here for the world to see. As you can see it's also been a while since I've done a reality check on my humble attitude. Anyways, I do need to start blogging again, and I feel I like have tons of work to make up, like in school when you go on vacation and then come back and the teacher's have all this work for you that you missed. That was always a pain and at times made the vacation seem not worth while. I don't have a good excuse for waiting this long to blog, in fact, sticking with the school analogy, my excuse note from my mom might read something like this...

Dear teachers,
I would ask that you please excuse Tom for the last month... or longer, from blogging because...,well just because.

Thank-you,
Mom Bybee

But hey now I'm back and will make up the work I've missed, it will take about a post every day for the rest of the month to catch up on my 3 posts per month goal, but I'm up to the challenge I'm counting this as day one.

Also a topic that may have already been discussed at some point... backseat blogging. When I started to title this blog Emily started asking questions, and I told her I wasn't going to write my blog with her in the room. She asked "Why?" and I told her "Because you'll stand over my shoulder read it and correct my comma errors, spelling, or ask the whole time "Whatcha writing about?" or "You're not writing about me are you?" she laughed and said "You don't want me to be a backseat blogger?" I said "No it's like when you're playing solitare and have someone watching you and the whole time they're like you can put that black eight on the red nine overthere." I'm sure you've all had a similar experience. I made a rule that she couldn't read my blogs until they're finished, we'll see how long that lasts and until she's back over my shoulder you'll have to forgive my comma, spelling and gramatical errors.
