I just can’t seem to get back into a regular habit again. Part of it is laziness and procrastination of course, part of it is that T1 is very demanding and now needs to be taken outside to play every single day, and it is also due to our upcoming trip to Europe. My list of thing that need to be done before we go is somehow only growing longer, not shorter as you would imagine.

The beginning of this post was actually written a few days ago, yet another example of a time when I’m trying to get my reading in but T1 doesn’t like what I’m doing (mostly because he seems to think the iPad is his toy, not mine). I realize that the better thing to do would be to read when he is sleeping, but I use that time to get my computer stuff done because I feel like I’m not supposed to spend time on the computer when he is awake (although if often happens anyway). Read when I wake up, right? Well thats the time I’m running or lifting because I want to have another kid so he has someone to play with. It’s like a never-ending cycle of first world problems.

Maybe our time in Europe will be the push I need. We’ll be out of our normal routine, away from the usual pressures, and able to focus on other things. Maybe.

Or I should just stop making excuses and do it. *sigh*
