So Hard to Start and So Easy to Turn it Off!

I sat starring at this blinking cursor for a long time...what do i write? How do I write it? Will anyone read what I write? Should I care what anyone else thinks? Where are those incessant, rhythmical bird chirps coming from?...Then it hit me, just start writing!

But then, as soon as I began, the incessant, rhythmical bird chirps turned into incessant requests from my child, Quinn, to come get him out of his crib. "Da da de da dooo da de da da DA DA DA wah wah bah da DA!" [trans: Yoohoo, mummy, I'm awake....aren't you super psyched!?"]. I mean, really, haven't I been sitting here during his whole nap just waiting [eagerly, mind you] for him to awake and call me to his room to come get him? Of course I have, I'm a good mom.

**silence**

Or maybe not so good of a mom after all. When I can hear him without the monitor, then it's time to get him.

I mean it takes a pretty steel heart not to go running to fetch this kid from his solitary confinment:

"DE DE DE DAH DAH DAH....EHHHHH-WHAAAA!"

Well, I can officially hear him without the monitor.

Ugh, it's just so hard to start writing!
