Staring into the dark bedroom, mind racing, paralyzed with laziness (or desire for sleep) is where I find myself at 5:30am. Jon left for work at 4:00 and I simply can't go back to sleep. Ugh!
Churning through my head is the colossal "to-do" list for today which will (sadly) not get done. Not because there is too much to do...but because I'll simply fail to do it. It's a pattern with me: start off with a plan, start the 1st task, get distracted, get sleepy ('cause I'm awake at 5am), take a nap, scrap the rest of the plan. Am I the only one who lives this way? Day after day setting myself up for failure. And yet, I still have hope that one day I'll be more disciplined! One can dream, right?
Now I have stared at this screen for 10 minutes and any nugget of wisdom or even random thought has eluded me. So, on that note, I'll say, goodnight!
Cheers!

Time's Have Changed
So, today on my way to work, I received an e-mail from Adam (who is 7 for a few more days):
"Can I have a Blog page? Please. You werk it out with daddy and if you say no that is ok but I mite have a copel of tears."
What??
I remember when I was 7 years old and computers were brand new and a new bike was what I wanted more than anything. Now, my boys are easily more computer savvy than I'll ever be and more likely to ask for an iPad rather than a baseball glove. Don't get me wrong...they are active fellas...some would argue too active! I just can't remember for the life of me when the change happened in our world. Adam will still play baseball & ride his bike...he'll just want to blog bout it!
And don't discredit the 5 year old! This week after being punished for something, Andrew spouted out: "I am never, never, ever going to play WordsWithFriends with you again!!!!" Take that, mom! Even verbal slurs are technilogiclly driven.
So here I am, entering the world of blog, in effort to scope out the dangers and joys it might pose for my child. Who knows, I might just enjoy it here. I'm not sure how long it will last. Andrew asked me that same day, "Mom, when you die, can I have your iPad?" I'm watching my back these days!
Have a good day!
