Just three weeks to go, then it’s baby time. I’ve started frantically flipping through my baby books- too frantic to really absorb anything but it makes me feel like I’m doing something to prepare. The painter comes Monday to turn a guest bedroom into a pink frilly nursery. I made an appointment with a pediatrician and started filling out a daycare application. I’m not exactly nesting, but my severe laziness and procrastination tendencies seem to be getting out of the way. For once.
In non-baby news, I’ve been suffering some pretty bad readers’ block lately, which breeds writers’ block. If I’m not reading something inspiring, I just can’t seem to do anything other than write a few sentences about my feelings, get exasperated, delete the whole thing, then play solitaire on my iPhone. I didn’t know what was going on in the news because I only read the comments in the stories…I couldn’t get much past about one hundred words before I started wondering what was happening on Facebook. And everyone knows there really isn’t much happening on Facebook.
I started to get desperate- I would try and read any book anyone recommended to me (that’s not entirely true, I remain a Harry Potter/Twilight snob) but nothing stuck. Finally two nights ago I found something that I didn’t want to put down after two paragraphs. Now I’m back in the brain swing of things, but as you can see I’ve gotten pretty rusty over the last month or so. I mean I’m boring myself as I type this. I’m worrying, right now, that I won’t be able to proof read this post because it’ll bore me so much I’ll lose the confidence to ever blog again. But this is the only way I can knock the rust off, and I want to write as much as usable when Baby Girl actually arrives. That means for my audience either A: This blog will become consistently so boring that you’ll have to abandon it or B: It’ll turn out that I’m one of those rare people who can write a blog about their kids in a funny and interesting way (here’s a great example).
I’m impressed that I was able to turn my non-baby update into a baby update.
I have read all the Harry Potter and Twilight books. TWICE. I hope you still think I’m your angel – LOL! ( Blogstalker!!!!!) These were things to read with my older kids in grade school and high school…to have common interests, etc. Maybe you’ll give ‘em another try sometime? For me? Or not…
