Slump???

By Kerry -
Okay... Anyone else out there just in a slump??? I am. Maybe it's the midterms I'm working on or the fact that I have this huge thing called a dissertation that doesn't seem to leave my thoughts. I mean really, can't I just change a diaper without thinking about which subtitle makes the most sense? Maybe my slump is weather induced? We finally cooled off here in Texas, but maybe that's what's messing with me. My body just doesn't know what to do with the freezing 75 degree weather. I know it can't be the lack of sleep or the excess of caffeine... could it?!? It definitely can't be the excess of alcohol since I've sworn it off. It seems I have some sort of weird allergy to alcohol all of a sudden, or maybe the Southern Comfort was just bad. I'm pretty sure that a nice glass of wine would get me kick-started and out of my slump, but I'm too scared to try.

Come on other slumpers out there... tell me what your secret is to moving out of slumpdom. I'm open to anything... singing Kumbaya in a circle, lighting incense, perhaps double-fudge chocolate chip brownies? If there aren't any suggestions, how about just tossing some positive vibes my way to hurry this phase out so I can concentrate on more important things like putting together Christmas cards (yes, I know it's only October... but I haven't done holiday cards in two years) and organizing Addison's birthday party.

Anyone, anyone... Bueller, Bueller????? tee...hee... Maybe I just need to watch a good movie.

i dont think my slump is going to help you since you have a husband and two girls, but i spent all day sunday in bed just watching tv, reading and crocheting. . .didnt necessarily make me feel better, but i didnt do any work. At least your weather is slightly warmer than here in LA. . .it was 68 today.

It is perfectly normal to have a slump about now. You're dealing with a lot of stuff! Any and all your own suggestions help, talk about it, but time will too. Hang in there and get others to do things. Remember, what doesn't get done, just doesn't get done. Focus on what has to be done, relax and take care of you.
Know that we love you and will help any way we can!

She was triple-dog-dared

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Pappy = Pee-Paw

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
