- Disuse Syndrome

moire2- February 8th, 2012
Wow. I haven't written anything in years. It feels as if that part of my brain dried up and died. Gross, but true. At first I was too busy with late night feedings and felt too 'duh from a lack of sleep. Now, there's the constant watching I do to make sure she doesn't eat dog poop, pull garbage from the can or fall off the sofa headfirst. It is mindless work, but one look away can mean the difference between "special" and special.
So, the part of my brain that used to think think-y thoughts has become lazy, flabby and downright annoyed that I'd poke at it and ask it to actually do anything this morning. Describing it as such is probably more humiliating than I'd like to admit. And, as my toddler pounds on the cabinet with her plastic hammer, I see that I better stop writing and find her entertainment that won't damage the house.
