Slacker

24 days of writing faithfully, even if it's only a small note and then WHAM! I did not write a thing yesterday because I'm a slacker. No, that's not entirely true, I didn't write intentionally as I rediscovered something about myself yesterday.

I am not a routine type person. So what do I do? I go out and become a mother, which is riddled and structured with what? Yes, ROUTINE! Children thrive on it and I will go crazy! I had this epiphany yesterday afternoon and started getting more and more grumpy, much to the dismay of my poor PB. When I get depressed, I start shutting down. I become apathetic and I don't want to do anything. I just want to sit on the couch and play pity party. So that's what I did last night to also take a different turn from my regularly scheduled activities.

I felt guilty this morning, just a little bit, that I did not write anything yesterday, so here I am again back at my laptop, tapping away. I have come to the realization though that writing everyday may just not be in the cards for me right now, unless I can find time to do it throughout the day, rather than at the same scheduled time every night. The monotony and routine is just far too boring for me. I like being spontaneous and perhaps that's where this blog is now headed. To write when something really strikes me as opposed to sitting down and trying to come up with something new to write. I feel like a quitter though, that I should I be persevering and writing something just to maintain the discipline. So, now I'm sitting on the fence and wondering what tomorrow will bring.

Pie.... yes tomorrow will bring pie as I baked one today (to break up my routine). I ventured to make a pseudo concord grape pie. Pseudo because I did not use concord grapes, but a very similar coronation grape. It's cooling now and will be ready for tasting tomorrow. Rather a peculiar pie but after seeing the recipe and knowing how much PB loves pie and concord grapes, seemed like a good idea. I'll share the adventure tomorrow.....
