What's My Excuse?

It has been far too long since my last post. I have nearly abandoned this blog. Why have six weeks passed without one type-written word produced? Yes, that's it...my production is crapola. Why is it, then, that I feel I haven't one moment to spare? Four months into parenting two children (yeehaw! my son just turned four months!), and I've already given up on something I'd set out to do on a regular basis. Posting once every six weeks puts me in a well-deserved last-place position in the hare and turtle race. What IS my excuse, then? It seems a baby this late in life is like getting brain cells zapped at a fast pace, which may explain my slow pace in writing. I put in 16-hour days with this kid. He decided he doesn't want to take longer than 20 minutes to nap during the day. So his wakening hours from 7:30am to 9PM are hours of self indulgence. That's me indulging him. He wants constant entertainment. Dishes sit in the sink far longer than I want them to. Body and hair (mine) get washed far less often than I feel should. Laundry gets done far less frequently than normal (although with the amount of new baby clothes and hand-me downs stuffed in drawers, a month could go by without the laundry actually really needing to be done). Thus, they sit. Hey, my baby is only this so incredibly cute and fun this one period in his life. It's (his adorable baby stage) only going to last a nanosecond. Dishes,hair-washing, and laundry can wait. And, it seems, blogging. Baby's coos cannot.
