About Nothing

I am feeling so uninspired this week. I just can't think of anything to say. It's very annoying. I haven't felt like this in months. Blogging has been great for inspiring me with ideas. I'm practically overflowing with inspiration, in my fiction as well as blogging. But not the last couple of days.

It's not all bad. You wouldn't believe the amount of cleaning I've gotten done the last couple of days, and several boxes packed as well. I bought a new mop this last weekend and I love it. I finally have a mop that will get this blasted kitchen floor clean. The color and texture are such that I've always had to get on my hands and knees and scrub it with a brush. This mop, with a nice scrubby sponge, gets it clean enough without that. Just in time to move. Oh well.

The baby is wide awake and looking to stay that way. She's playing on the floor while I watch TV and try to think of something to say. Frequency is on again (I really have to get my own copy of that movie.)

The teen had a doctor appointment today, so I kept him home from school. Not something I'd normally do, but the husband made the appointment for the middle of the day. It's an hour drive out to the private school the teen's mom put him in. Not an issue normally, because they have a bus that stops only 20 minutes away. But to pick him up? The girls would have been in the car at least 4 hours, just for the appointment, not counting getting home and then turning around to pick him up at the bus stop. So I kept him home. I'll have to remember to write a note for him to take to school tomorrow. I made sure to schedule the next appointment for the late afternoon (much to his disappointment. He thought this was great!)

He is noticeably losing weight now. I'm going to have to buy new clothes for him. I'm so excited and happy. I'm not sure he realizes though. He hasn't said anything, and I don't want to make him uncomfortable by saying anything. I haven't made a big deal about his weight, just made sure to keep candy and soda out of the house and tried to make sure dinners were healthy. The only thing that was an obvious weight loss tactic was getting rid of the sugar.

The baby started fussing. It isn't easy, nursing the baby and typing. I can type one-handed no problem (and not too slow either) but she keeps kicking my typing arm. Maybe she'll fall asleep soon.
