I haven’t written anything for a long time and that is based on a combination of a couple of factors/excuses:
- My personal laptop is dead.
- Work is busy.
- I’m lazy.
- We have a 8 month old and an 8 year old (who acts like she’s 16).
I’ll unpack each of these, but want to put it out there at the outset that my lack of writing spring’s mostly from #4. I can appreciate that having children is a gift and I derive a ton of satisfaction, fun, and self-worth from them – but they are a tremendous time-suck. *** I just had to step away from this to change the 4th diaper of our baby today, who is home sick (day 3 of this) from daycare ***

This poor guy has had pink eye, fever, cough, etc… from his first week at daycare. He’ll only sleep on one of us.
