My husband is back in town after a few days leave. We all are breathing sighs of relief and excitement. The breakfast table is set for a special breakfast together….a sugary cereal that only makes an appearance on very special occasions is sitting…waiting. I don’t particularly like Fruit Loops, and you?

I have been going through a burst of energy. It started with a sudden desire to clear the kitchen cupboard. You know, the one wtih all the junk in it. After I accomplished that, I moved to the OTHER kitchen cupboard with all the junk in it. Next, I finished staining our outside fence. Then I started to tackle the playroom. (Still working on that one.) All of this while going through a major bout of PMS. Oh, did I mention that I sang a bit of Moon River for you, while trying to avoid being interrupted by a four year old. (She doesn’t really like it when I sing MY songs. We’re working on that.)

Has anyone else started tracking their monthly cycle from their blog? Have you noticed any pattern? My posts are very scattered, and sometimes even frantic and anxiety-ridden, while I’m PMSing. Right after this they become very emotional. Then at some point in the month, they seem to flow and I’ll have a week or so of very fluid posts. (I’m re-reading this and not sure about the use of the words flow and fluid in this context. Oh well.)

It has also been interesting to see patterns emerge collectively. For instance, I don’t think I’m the only one that has been going through a major nesting and organizing binge this month. Maybe September, rather than Spring, is the time when the real Spring cleaning happens.

The good news, folks, is that this week of scattered posts is about to come to an end. The emotional, “I love you, man” posts are around the corner, and then you get the week of the scintillating, prolific Raehanster. I’m not sure what follows that. The fall-flat-on-my-$%& Raehan? Haven’t figured out the whole cycle yet.

It’s all very interesting, these patterns and cycles. What have you noticed about your own or our collective patterns from reading or writing in the blogosphere?

I want to thank the talented Tamara for her sweet email and for paying to upgrade my Flickr account as a reward for my singing here. Thank you! Tamara, in my opinion, is one of the cool kids on the block, so I am feeling a little less nerdy. I am also thinking she wants to protect my precious template images that she created. Yup. she’s the one who made this template. Talented, I said.
