Inside my head:<\/strong> Oh, thank goodness, the baby is snoozing and I have three minutes to myself. Screw the laundry (and the dishwasher, and the vacuuming, and the boys’ room, and the gardening…) I’m going to seize this time for myself and write a blog post.<\/p>\n

**kicks boys off computer**<\/p>\n

**ignores wails of protest**<\/p>\n

**sits down at keyboard**<\/p>\n

**sound of crickets**<\/p>\n

Inside my head:<\/strong> Crap, I can’t think of anything to blog about. I swear, I wrote 16 blog posts in my head just yesterday, what the heck were they about? Some of them were actually worthy of posting, too. And I’m flat out of memes. Okay, I’ll just check my e-mail real quick. (When did that phrase, “real quick”, become so ubiquitous? It’s like “seriously”, it’s everywhere. And it’s just as meaningless and just as insiduously addictive.) Anyway, e-mail. Let’s see… three newsletters on stuff I barely care about, two offers for blog tours on products I’ll never use, and a bit of salacious gossip. Okay, I’ll reply to the gossip later. And a notification that someone wrote on my Facebook wall, I’ll just pop over there and acknowledge that on the wall-to-wall. <\/p>\n

Simon<\/strong>: “Mom! Can you wipe my butt?”<\/p>\n

Back at the keyboard, inside my head:<\/strong> Okay, where was I? Oh yes, Facebook. Hey look, five of my friends changed their profile pictures, and that one is really funny. I should leave a little ‘haha’ comment. Oh, and I’d better take my turns on Scrabulous while I’m here. Not polite to leave Nancy waiting too long. And I haven’t updated my status in a while, so I’ll just…<\/p>\n

** sound of crash, then splash, then dripping, from the next room **
\nTristan<\/strong>: “Um, Mo-om? Um, you’d better come here…. real quick!”<\/p>\n

Back at the keyboard, inside my head:<\/strong> Okay, I’ll update my status later. I’ll just poke Marla back and then get back to the blog. I haven’t posted anything in almost a week, I really have to get something up or people will stop dropping by. Oh yeah, I remember what I was going to blog about!! Right, that will make a great… oh rats, is that the baby I hear? Crikey, he’s awake already? Sigh, so much for computer time. Maybe I’ll get around to posting to the blog tomorrow…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
