I've been talking too much lately. It's a frequent problem for me, as many of my friends and family members know. The reason I know I'm talking too much these days is because when I actually have the time to sit down and write, I can't think of anything to say. And that is...very, very rare. So, instead here are two lists of things that I can't think enough about at the moment to write more than one line.
Current (unnecessary) obsessions and anxieties:
- HD's food variety. Just like his mommy and daddy, he's not getting enough vegetables. And, have I caused nutrient deficiencies by not mixing his cereal with formula or breast milk?
- My part-time work schedule. Is it enough? Too much? Not enough writing time? Will I ever be able to focus again? Was I ever able to focus before? Who do I want to be today? What about tomorrow?
- HD's sleeping. Or not sleeping. Runny noses, cough. No fever.
- Frying pans with nicks in them releasing deadly Teflon into my family on the rare occasion that I do cook. Exciting news on this front: I bought a new pan and BH's SM got us one too!
- Overwhelming amounts of stuff to put in scrapbooks, baby books, etc. Should I just throw it out? I can't.
- Baby book blanks accompanied by memory blanks.
- Not writing enough!
- Packing for our trip.
- Ruining my new bathing suit by washing it with HD's bibs...Velcro attack.
- My back. It hurts.
Lovely things of late:
- See part 2 of #4 above.
- See #8 above.
- Daily walks for exercise. Often with a wonderful mommy friend.
- Starbucks. (okay, not new but always makes me happy)
- BH home for several days in row.
- HD LOVING LONG naps in his stroller.
- Music class - seriously, it's fun.
- HD grabbing and eating fistfuls of food.
- HD tilting his head to the side and smiling.
- New clothes that fit.
- Getting granola bars in the mail from my sister because my store can't keep them in stock.
- Let's Dish!
- Swings and playgrounds.
