Failing

So I have failed miserably lately for creating time for myself. Well, unless its sneaking in games of solitaire on Facebook, but that's usually so I can sit and think about nothing for a few minutes. Since I haven't blogged in months, you were probably already aware of this, though. There are pages and pages of things I want to do, and could probably make time for, IF I had the energy to do so. I am not handling the lack of - or more appropriately, the disrupted sleep - that I have been getting for the last 9.5 months. I really feel like I should be able to get more done, but all I want to do is sleep. (Even as I try to write this, twice I have had to comfort Charlie because he has bumped his head trying to stand on the chair I am sitting in - because OMG! MOM IS ON THE COMPUTER, I MUST STOP THIS!) When I think about the things I want or need to get done, it just makes me MORE tired. In fact, its depressing just to write about it.

I did manage to complete a digital scrapbook of my hospital pictures of Charlie's birth over the last week. Just need Jim to get some info & journal a little if he wants. Now, don't be too impressed. It really only took me about 6 hours total to do the 20 pages. I do miss playing with paper on a traditional scrapbook, but its much more work to get out all the tools I need for that than it is to do on my computer.

Maybe I will leave Jim to parent this afternoon and run some errands. Not really "me" time, but it won't be "mommy" time anyway.

Anyway, just wanted to say a quick HI! And apologize for not having better figured out how to manage my time yet.
