Mommy needs a nap

I've only just entered the blogging world just a few short days ago, so perhaps this blog and I are still in our honeymoon phase, but I have found that I really enjoy it. Throughout the day in my frenzy of changing diapers and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (whose theme song echoes in my head long after the show has ended and the children have gone to bed), I think of things that I want to write. I wait in anticipation as the clocks speeds (alright, it usually crawls) toward the time that brings my boyfriend home, and we put our children to sleep and then it is "me" time. By the time all this is done though, I sit in front of this computer, so desperate to get some of the muddle of thoughts in my head down on this blog. I watch the blinking of the little vertical line on this page, seemingly yelling at me to type something. Something brilliant, something witty. Something, period. Gone are the funny stories that unfold in front of me on an hourly basis. I am left with just an empty mind.....except of course for that damn theme song. These adorable children of mine are sucking the energy right out of me. I can barely even form sentences when I'm here these days. That's all I've got tonight. I think I need to go to bed. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some great inspiration.

Things that I am grateful for today: having a mother who is awesome with my children and willing to watch them every Wednesday so my cousin and I can scrapbook (what the bf call's my 'happy place'), being able to go grocery shopping with no kids, becoming closer to my cousin this year, mint chocolate chip ice cream
