I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon. I started this blog to connect with like-minded people and as a place for honest expression. However, like usual, life has taken over, and I have been neglecting this new creative outlet of mine. I have a bad habit of starting things and not finishing them. My wedding scrapbook. An original children's book. My herb garden. You get the picture.
None of these are grand endeavors. It just seems like the daily grind zaps my energy, leaving little left over to devote to my personal projects. By the time I get My Little Man (MLM) dressed, fed breakfast, and situated, it seems like it's time to put him down for a nap, feed him lunch, and keep him entertained and stimulated between then and dinner. Then there's the household duties like dishes, laundry, bills, Oh My! Finally, I have my personal and professional commitments which either have me tied to my computer or running around town to buy a birthday gift, meet up for a play date, or plan for a family affair.
When the day is over, I collapse on my couch and mentally prepare to do it all again. Every now and then I get this wave of energy and motivation to go above and beyond this daily grind. I feel an urge to do something special, different--and dare I say it--FOR ME. I move forward with my plans, full speed ahead. Then...I crash and burn and never "follow through".
I get mad at myself for starting something and not seeing it through. I want to have that continual energy supply that's tucked away only for my needs. Not dedicated to MLM, the laundry, or family. Just for me. My next project: Resetting my energy allocation.
