I think I have a sort of blogging writers block. Does everyone get this? It's a vicious cycle that goes a little something like this:

I want to blog.

I sit down at the computer to write a post.

I stare at the blank post template willing words to enter my mind. Witty, smart, interesting words.

I get distracted by Hulu, Twitter, Facebook, Kids, TV, the phone, etc. (Just now, I had to take a 15 minute break to try to get Bug back to sleep bc Monkey woke him up and I am currently listening to him cry in his crib)

Hulu gives me posts in clip form which are fun indeed, but not all the time.

Twitter and Facebook give me that little jolt of blog-type goodness, but the goodness wears off quickly and I am left with an even bigger desire to blog.

Does this mean Twitter and Facebook are the crappy energy drinks of the internets? I submit that they most certainly are.

So I sit once again and stare at the blank post template. It is taunting me and I hate it.

I am distracted again only this time it's something real that needs to be taken care of - like lunch time or a little boy crying about having to take a nap or, you know, sleep. So I sigh a big sigh and give up for the day (or the week) telling myself that I will post something when I actually have something to post.

That is that. I remember a time when I could post something several times a day and they would be (mostly) interesting posts and I would get comments and I would chuckle and pat myself on the back for being so witty and charming and delightful. Now I'm just in a blogging rut and it bugs me.
