Blogging again

I seem now to be posting  only once a year, and I hope to change that. Then again, I've had some pretty good excuses for not posting in the last 6 months at least, that being the increase in the size of our family from 2 to 3 with the introduction of the Pukwudgie. She is 6 months old now, and I've been sleep deprived for a little longer than that. She's not sleeping through the night yet.
But despite the ongoing sleep deprivation, I still somehow am feeling slightly more human, and being more human, I really need to start doing some more things with my brain.  I've become very good at entertaining babies, and I love doing that, but there's more to life, and I do need to do more!
While she's asleep.
That's my life now. 45 minute blocks of time to myself, then an hour and a half dealing with baby and trying to get housework done at the same time, on repeat endlessly. Evenings are slightly better. We have two to two and a half hours to ourselves before bed, assuming The Pukwudgie stays asleep.

And now I've forgotten where that was going.  Maybe something about not doing work during the sleep time, only leisure activities (which includes writing). I don't remember. That's a sleep deprivation thing, memory loss. I'm very familiar with it these days. And difficulty forming sentences.  At least when I'm writing I get as long as I need to figure out that word, you know the one... it's on the tip of my tongue.

So after that bit of rambling you might be wondering where I was going with this entire post. Well, it's been a couple of sleep-wake cycles since I started writing, so actually I'm not certain that even I know the original point. But my best guess is that I was just trying to assure you (or maybe just me) that I do intend, yet again, to do this more often.
Or maybe I just wanted to see if I could still write.
