Back2School

The kids started back to school almost 2 weeks ago. I assumed that with them back in school, I would find more time to read and write. Truth be told, I haven't gotten much of either done in the days since they have been back in school. I get the household chores done. Laundry and dishes don't fill my whole day, though. Truth be told, I mostly just spend my days trying to clear out my DVR. I spend a lot of time just trying to wake up. I feel so tired, and I am not really adjusting well to the new schedule. Honestly, it isn't like I am getting up much earlier than my internal alarm clock wakes me. So, why is it I just can't get myself going? Really, reading or writing don't even require that I move from my spot on the couch. Laptops go anywhere as do books. So I guess the truth is that it falls on me and me alone. Hopefully, within the coming weeks, I will adjust to the new schedule and the silence in the house and get some work done. Clark must be in the same, unmotivated boat. He thought that when the kids went back to school, he would find the time and the gumption to illustrate for the next book. So far, he hasn't sat down and put pencil or paint to paper. What are we waiting for? The kids being back in school should have been just what we needed to get ourselves going again.
