I should be posting about Colin's 2nd Birthday and about the nasty insects (from Kate's ladybug and butterfly kits from Christmas) growing on my kitchen counter that gross me out whenever I prepare food. Or perhaps about the long ago promised family pictures or how I won the Mom of the Day Award (not) when I missed Kate's Primary talk last Sunday. I've been meaning to write about a crazy experience with Adam's teacher where we had a little confrontation and I decided to send a thank you note instead of get angry and then she magically turned into the kindest, most complimentary ("I can't believe how much Adam has changed in the last few weeks! You guys must really be great parents!" "That was the kindness note I have ever received!" "You have such beautiful handwriting!") teacher ever.
Or maybe something adorable about our family like my best friend Emilie. Or perhaps something beautiful and thought provoking like my sorority sister Jen.
The problem is, I just don't feel like it. Sorry.

There's nothing wrong with owning the feeling of apathy.
Sometimes it's all we have to just be.
I'm impressed that you could get all of those events mentioned in such a concise way. It may not be as elaborate as you might like, but at least you can remember them now.
Your not alone I've spoken with plenty of other Mom"s that have had situations with her. Including myself. I will say your approach was a kinder way to handle it.
You know, sometimes I'm not feelin' it either.
I don't feel guilty about missing a child's talk, it's not even knowing they were supposed to give a talk that I worry about.
It's hard enough for me to write a card when I AM grateful.
