I'm full of... Excuses

I got a complaint today from one of my readers.  She called me a blog slacker.  She's totally right.  Has the shiny, new-ness of the whole blog thing worn off already??  Am I that flaky?

Not possible.

Apparently it is not that easy to remember to write a blog when you're chasing after a (now) nearly 1-year old.  Between loading and unloading the dishwasher, and the washing machine, and the dryer, and the car, and the diaper genie, I have neglected my writing.

I have to admit, this is tough.

All you parents out there with new little babies that are under, say, 6 or 8 months old have it E-A-S-Y!  You may think you're tired because you have to feed your kid all the time, or it cries a lot, or you have to get up once a night to feed it.  That's nothin'.

Wait until your baby is crawling everywhere.  And standing.  And almost walking.  And picking up things you didn't know were on your floor and putting them in his mouth.  And not sitting quietly at the dinner table.  And cries every time you put him somewhere that's not attached to your body.  And suffers separation anxiety at naptime.  And bedtime.  And the middle of the night.

You people have got it made.  With your babies that still fit in the infant carrier.  And sleep during your meals.  And only eat from a bottle (or breast).  And stay where you put them. 

Ah, the time you still have....

Of course, even with all that lack of time to myself, I can't really complain that I have to play with THIS every day.
