Man, Tuesdays are killing me! As I’ve eased into my new working schedule, I’m finding Tuesday by far the hardest, I just can’t get myself together for some reason! I teach Monday nights and then have to be back Tuesday morning and I think the “back-to-back” schedule is complicating things. I know, I know, what a hard life I have! But really, after being out of the working world for over 3 ½ years, it’s difficult getting back into the schedule especially with a newborn who tags along and two girls who can’t handle me leaving (this morning was the first time Honeybun hasn’t gotten really upset about me having to go).
I’ve noticed I’ve been neglecting to post new content mostly on Tuesdays. I’ve been trying to keep on top or writing by pre-writing things or “hoarding” posts to use at later times, but while I have tons of ideas of what I want to write, actually getting it done has become a struggle. Each day I have the same routine, when the girls go down to nap, I grab my laptop and bring it to the couch with the intention of writing. However, what actually happens is not much writing. Instead I check my e-mail. I check into Facebook. I feed Doodle. I play with Doodle. I watch Doodle while he sleeps. I watch TV. I peruse my groups on Facebook that really don’t even matter. I stalk people on Facebook (mostly those that are close to having babies). And I play Angry Birds on my iPad. What I don’t do much of is writing.
I’ve always wished there was a way to record my thoughts. I write a lot of posts in my head while I’m lying in bed in the middle of the night when I’m trying to go back to sleep after feeding Doodle and while he grunts himself back to sleep. But by morning I’ve either forgotten what I wanted to say or I don’t have the time or motivation to actually type out my thoughts. If only you all could just access my brain directly, you’d a get a lot more content in a much more timely fashion!
