Is the Circus in Town? Cuz I'm Juggling!

Juggling writing with kids is tough, to say the least. Just when you get going, someone little needs juice or diaper changes. And how much can you let them watch tv or play video games or hit the computer. No matter how educational the game or the show, they need to use their own brains. This motherhood thing is a sacrifice for sure. And in some ways its getting harder right now. When they are babies, they don't care if you pay attention to them or not - they just sit next to you. Now that the youngling is a preschooler, he needs a constant playmate, except for when he doesn't. And because he doesn't want or need me in the same way, I have begun to have desires of my own...namely writing. But you can't give your own desires 100% concentration, because as soon as you hit "the zone" someone comes along and interrupts it. Sigh. Gotta go. Diaper change...
