Forgot how to concentrate
Have I lost the ability to sit down and concentrate? Four years into being a mom, I'm just now starting to find myself with a half-day, afternoon, or even a full day to myself.
I always use it to write. Always. Unless some dire emergency steps in my way, I write or do research or outline.
Last Thursday was my first clue that the brain cells are in need of some conditioning. Had the whole day to work - Ace was diligently filing a report with his employers, so I didn't even have the excuse of hanging out with him - and it was hard! I sat and typed, decided I wanted some tea, made it and stared out the window, moved to the couch and wrote longhand, got a back-ache and sat back at the desk, hated that the chair squeaked and my posture was slumpy, typed a few thoughts, looked at the clock and thought "man, but there's still four more hours before I have to pick up my son!"
Let the brain-conditioning begin.
