staring at a blank page

by

I sit here staring at a blank page.  I know I should write more. I’m sure there is stuff in my head that I want to write about.  But I sit here staring at a blank page.  Where is my inspiration?

There will be posts about our basement.

I could write about back to school…but the kids are doing great and nothing overly exciting is going on.  Munchkin seems to be paying attention better this year as she is able to answer the question “what did you do today?” and is generally excited about answering.  Peanut comes home with new paintings every day.  This is her dream!

Activities are slowing starting. Brownies is Mondays and they have had one meeting.  She learned her Brownie promise and law and sang some songs.  Choir practices have started.  And Peanut was allowed to start before she is 5 because of the video of her I posted on YouTube.  The choir director saw it and thinks she’ll do okay! :Swimming doesn’t start until October.

BigDaddy has been extremely busy since speaking at the 140 Characters Conference last week!  Which is awesome!  Thank you to everyone!

Hm….maybe I need to do this more often.  Just stare at a blank page and write.  I think I have some ideas for some posts for next week. Thanks for listening to be blab.

What do you do to find the motivation?  How do you keep track of what you want to write about?

I’ll write again…soon…hopefully

I need to do that..

I need to stop. I need to make time in all of the craziness to write.

There is so much to share. So much that you can learn from.  We’ve learned a lot.

Basement renovations are on-going.  It’s seems to be one thing after another.

Tomorrow afternoon we’ll head to Kitchener.  Tomorrow night is the party for the speakers and sponsors for the !40 Characters Conference.  Thursday is the “big day” for BigDaddy.  He is a part of an amazing list of speakers!  I can’t wait!

Friday will be Peanut’s first full day of school!

But tonight will be hectic. Tonight I have to pack and make sure the girls have everything they need for the few days that we’re away. Pre-pack lunches. Food in the fridge. My mom is staying with them while we’re away.

Saturday I will rest. Who am I kidding?  There will be more house stuff to do.  That basement isn’t going to finish itself.

Maybe on Sunday I’ll have time to write.

What keeps you writing? Do you have a schedule?
