Good God.  I forgot I had a blog.  Are people still blogging out there?

Why have I not blogged for such a long time?  Well, I got a full time teaching job and lost my mind.  Then I had a baby and what was left of said mind after teaching was effectively shredded.  I want to make it clear I love my baby.  Except she isn't a baby any longer.  She's three.  She's energetic.  She has tantrums.  She can be incredibly amazing and incredibly horrid all in the space of ten minutes.  I'm led to believe this is normal.

Now that I no longer need to get half-undressed to feed my daughter nor change her diapers I'm finding I have time to think again.  Thinking is good - except that I tend to take it to extremes and enter the deep realm of anxiety instead of staying in the shallow end.  Thinking also makes me remember I actually had creative outlets.  I by no means consider myself a Martha Stewart but I like tinkering on a piano (play only - no idea how to compose) and writing.  Since I have no piano here it falls to writing.  Which I'm trying to get back into.  Awkwardly.

I haven't edited this post so forgive any mistakes that are present.  It's getting late and it's been a long day of being stuck indoors due to rain.  Three year olds aren't meant to stay indoors all day.  They're supposed to be taken for walks.  Much like dogs.  

Will update within a week.  Famous last words.
