In a Rut.

I'm in a rut. Like a big, fat, hole-y rut. I can't seem to get my mojo back for digiscrapping, I don't feel like editting and playing with my photos, I don't want to really do anything. I have no clue why, I thought spring was typically when you felt new energy, got active again... not so much here. I feel like a slug, getting by day to day. Ugh. This is not me, or at least it didn't *used* to be me. In college I used to be up for doing anything and any time of day or night. I loved hanging out with friends, going anywhere. Now... well, no. Then again, it's so different now than it was ten (!!!) years ago. There's a house, a husband, three children and a dog underfoot, it's not like I could just pick up and go anywhere. Heck, I'm hoping to get together with some friends in Santa Barbara sometime this year, and I can't even figure out how to do that!! Bah. I never was much of a time scheduler. And I know that if I would just open up my PhotoShop and pull up a picture and some backgrounds, I could probably start getting back in the groove of things... but that step just seems so gigantic sometimes. And it's probably a bit of laziness on my part. Catastrophic and lazy, that's me!

To make this a bit cheerier, I'm going to share some -isms from my kids that crack me up.

Dictionary a la P~
muffin: "elephant" {he thinks M is saying that when she asks for a muffin. it's pretty funny.}

There's other funny P-isms, I just can't think of them right now, since he's happily snoring away in bed. Lucky boy.
