Why I have not written much lately....

Usually to write, there is the typical layout of a beginning, a middle and an end. You present an idea, then present a conflicting viewpoint or a problem, and then you tie it all up neatly in the end.

Well I have beginnings, I have middles, but lately nothing is wrapping up into a nice and tidy little end.

There is a lot going on, but none of it has much of a conclusion.

Dan is working his new work schedule and we are still adjusting to it a little bit. Having him here in the mornings means I am going out less because Liam and I are amused by having him here. But this means it is harder to find my motivation to go to the gym. So I need to work on that...

Liam is saying a few new words, and the same old ones, but there has been little else that is new and amazing. We just do the same things day after day. Winter is hard on toddlers, we can't go out much. No walks, no park, no playing in the yard. Even on the days it doesn't rain it is too soggy and yucky for Liam to be outside. Liam also is not quite ready to start any real learning projects. He still will not do the same thing consistently for even 5 minutes except on rare occasions and I can not keep wracking my brain for new projects that are Liam friendly right now. So we color and we try to work on learning shapes and colors. Right now, every color is Yellow...

Lately I have lost interest in many craft projects, kind of like a break from Making after all the making I did for Christmas. Its like the creative part of my brain shut down for a while....

And above all, Liam is hitting a new stage of toddlerhood where there is much whining and crying when things do not go his way and there is no longer any distracting him with something else. He wants what he wants and nothing else will do...

So, there is nothing that really has an end right now and when I write about things, I want to be able to find the conclusion. Maybe the conclusion is that right now I have no conclusion.
