Babies take up a lot energy. I know this isn’t news to anyone, but it’s still remarkable how often I simply don’t have the mental energy to write something (and go get all the links and blockquotes I need for the idea) that I would have written without a thought last year. I get an idea, I start to think about the steps I need to take to put it all together, and then I just kind of give up on it and look for something simpler. And, the strange thing is that our baby is really well behaved and much easier than I anticipated. I don’t feel overwhelmed at all. I just don’t have any blogging stamina.
