Go ahead and check my 3 total posts [I know, I'm a proud blogger]. It looks like I must officially change the name of this blog to "Midnight musings." Done.
Why midnight, I ask myself? A quick reflection on the day provides some obvious answers:
- 7am-9pm: Intense, crazy, organized chaos of being a mother. (That's right...sunup to sundown).
- 9pm-10:00pm: Clean house from day's chaos.
- 10:00pm-11:00pm: Eat deserved chocolate snack and let nerves calm down. Get brain back to normal functioning speeds and capacities [this requires slowing down from the high paced world of potty training, "Dora the Explorer," sibling rivlary break-up fests, snacks, diaper changing, naps, errands and dishwashing.]
- 11:00pm-1:00am: Brain sufficiently rested (and sugared up) to begin processing creative thoughts. Computer time. Creative writing time. And possibly round two of chocolate snack time. [Around 1:00am I pull a Danielle and purposely don't look at the clock so I don't have to confess the exact minutes I guiltily slunk into bed to Mark the next morning. Good trick, Danielle.]

Now I can't let Adam see your blog since you spilled out my secret. Which I should have done last night, so I wouldn't have had to confess that it was well after midnight when I finally put down my book (mostly because Jacob kept stirring restlessly and waking up because the lamp I was reading by was shining right in his eyes). I like your day in the life of Mommy Janel. And I think you better get more chocolate (hence more fulfillment) for late night rewards. Your blog is so nice and I'm confused why you kept it a dark secret.
At least you don't write blog comments and count it as practice time (because your oboe is sitting in your lap while you do it...)
I like your blog too--maybe you should WRITE books. I'd read them.
