I think i am getting stupider

While I rail and rant about the misperception that stay-at-home moms don't use their brain all day, this week I am worried. I tried to write a letter to the editor of my local paper yesterday about the state's recent proposal to cut off their subsidies for Olivia's pre-school. Could not do it. A letter that in the old days would have taken me fifteen minutes was a rambling mess after fourty-five. It was pathetic. My husband tried to cheer me up by saying that we are tired, still sick from our latest family cold, overworked, etc.

I was really stressing until I read a blog post from one of Angie's friends about how much the routine gets us down. You realize how cluttered your mind becomes with all of the trivial "have to's" and you never get to any of the "want to's". I realized that none of what Chad gave me as a reason was true because that is every week and has been for months.

So tonight is going to be my marathon, I am going to get rid of as many have to's as I can, get a good night's sleep and maybe tomorrow I can wake up my dormant brain, that maybe just needs to be rebooted because it is getting smarter everyday and is trying to keep up with itself?

Also, my stove comes in two days, so maybe my want to will be to finally put up my new blog template that will now need a new, expanded, what I am cooking section.
