The Writer in Me

I've been a mom now for eight weeks...and I have nothing to write about.  Nothing is screaming to exit my brain.  Could it be that I'm still adjusting?  I mean, you'd think I'd have run into all kinds of issues by now.  Or, that I have had hundreds of revelations upon entering this new chapter...no, new book, of my life.  I should have so much to say, so much to write about.

But I don't.  

I think it's because I have this urge to write.  Like, it's all I wanna do.  I WANT to write.  And now I can't.  Can't think of anything.  

Apparently, having a baby has wiped my slate clean.  

I mean, I'll be sitting there, nursing, and I'll get to thinking...and then I get this urge to write (yes, as if I were a "writer"), but I can't write cause I'm nursing...and then I'm not nursing anymore and the boy is asleep (such is my current situation) and I want to write, like really bad, and I can't.  Yep, I said it...I CAN'T.  

I'm trying right now, you see.

My brain is mush.

The end.

Hahahaha!!! I remember that... I was actually beginning to think that I would never have another thought again - at least one that didn't involve my son's eating, sleeping or diaper habits.

Luckily, it's a passing phase. Unluckily, it's also kind of a long one.

Wow, you really are a mom after all. He's been so delish that I thought you were getting off unscathed.

But, no. He took a piece of your brain and stuck it in his diaper.

ha ha! I love Jocelyn's comment :) But what you need my dear is a tiny tape recorder. Then you can record all your beautiful, insightful thoughts and then simply write them down! I happen to have just the one :)

Hello, Neat post. There's an issue along with your site in internet explorer, may check this? IE still is the market chief and a big part of folks will omit your wonderful writing because of this problem.

title? I mean, I ԁon't wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added a title that grabbed a person's attention?
I mеаn "The Writer in Me" іs а little vanіlla.

You shоuld glancе at Үahoo's home page and note how they write post titles to grab people to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about everything've got to say.
Just my opiniоn, it might make your websіte a littlе livelіer.
