Life as a reformed Zookeeper. Now living a life as a working mother who dabbles in karate, scrapbooking, and Coors Light!

OK, so my techy-stupid self cannot seem to get this picture right, so you're just going to have to deal with it as is. Yes, I've become "one of those parents," who has to show the world their "cute" children. Deal.

I'm feeling quite introspective today. Not entirely sure why, but there you have it. I'm feeling a creative lull with myself, and I don't like it. Perhaps it is because I'm nearly always exhausted. I know that part of it is because my conversations take place within the vocabulary of the same basic words found in the toddler vernacular, and include words such as "no!" and "i do it!" and "want watch monkey george!" Anyway, the creative lull makes me sad to a degree. What do you do when you feel like your creativity has left the building? What do you do to get your mojo back?

at 12:02 am Sunday morning, I'm happy to report that I did four layouts today. and agonized over each one of them creatively. I'm even past the point where I'm feeling the emotional tug at any of this shit. I know that sounds terrible.... but I don't feel it quite as badly as I did when I started this endeavor back in September. I am happy to say, however, that I am nearly all the way through Erin's NICU album (yes, their first three months warrant their own album!), and half-way through with Griffin's! I can seriously not wait to start scrapping different things. Like all the photo shoots of making the twins do mean things to eachother.... like the picture we have of Erin laid out on Griffin's back.... He, of course, is wailing!! And THAT, my friend...is a joy of having twins. Perhaps, though, they are getting their revenge right now....I should rethink further torture....

Some days you just have to put away the creativity and clean the house. It's sad but true.

Cute picture of the kids :)

Exhaustion has a funny way of sapping creative energy. It's hard when you have young kids and a daycare - I know :)
