And procrastinating.
My mind is cluttered with posts, ideas, plans.
And yet I just can not write.
The kids are out of school and my family is reunited-which makes me endlessly happy.
But we haven't met people here yet. They are bored to tears and watching waaaaay too much tv.
I get tired of trying to cajole them to go do something just to get out of the house.
My laptop is the only consistently functioning computer at the house which means I'm sharing it with 5 people. Which means I pretty much NEVER get on it.
On the rare occasion that I do get to use it there is endless fighting, teasing, piano playing, requests for chocolate milk and snacks.
The constant noise is overwhelming. I can't complete a simple thought. If I hear "can I have the laptop next, mommy" one more time I just might poke out my eyeballs.
And my laptop is tethered to the breakfast bar-imprisoned by connections and plugs and gizmos required for internet access. There is no escaping the noise and distractions.
I miss it. I miss writing. I miss sitting in my comfy bed after the kids are asleep when the house is quiet and my thoughts are clear and I can pound away on the keyboard.

I feel your pain. I think I'd be lost if I didn't have my laptop to myself. Blogging is my thereapy!! ;)
I hear ya! Writing tends to be the only constant in my crazy life and especially after moving across half the country I can see that you need that little resting place.
I hope you'll get there again soon!
Wow! You have moments when your house is actually quiet???

Even though you are all under one roof again, there are so many adjustments that still have to be made. I hope you all can start getting into a groove and find all of your happy places. You all deserve it so much and frankly, I miss your writing too!! :-)
I miss you! I wondered where you've been on twitter. xoxo
Hope things quiet down and friends are found and you reenter the online world!
I miss you. **sniff sniff** I'm sorry that you don't have your private time or your computer. You WILL find a routine. I know you will. xo, friend.
yes...it's like i'm missing my therapy sessions ;)
Writing really helped me survive these last 7-8 months and i feel out of sorts without it. I'm ready to get back in my writing routine.
lol...between 1:30 am and 8 it is usually quiet around here.
Thanks! We are definitely adjusting to new space, routines and all being together again.
aww thanks:)
I am hoping to get back in the game soon.
Thanks and I hope things quiet down too!
Thanks! I miss you too! Hoping I get things figured out sooner rather than later....
I'd have to snatch the laptop away from everyone else! I need my outlet!
