So, its been over a week since I've written. Of course I have good excuses... kids' nap schedules are off, i got another idea that lead me down a rabbit trail....
...but today, both kids are still napping and I found myself CLEANING. cleaning instead of writing. If there was any doubt before, there is none now. It's confirmed; I'm procrastinating.
Friends would say kind things like how my smile reminds them of my mom, or such and such reminds them of my mom. One thing that I know I did not get from my mom was my "slowness." I remember my mom rushing me on various occasions. "ai-yah! nay deem guy gum mau-sau ga?" (why are you so slow?) Ironically, as slow as I am, I find myself saying the same things to Isaac and getting frustrated with him. I've figured that Isaac's "slowness" is just innate (probably inherited it from me) but I also think that it is partially his mild form of rebellion. Anyone who has met Isaac knows that he's a really mild-mannered, good-natured boy. He reminds me of how my mom would describe me as a child.
Hannah, on the other hand, is not so much like this. She's tenacious and when she has her mind on something, she attacks it with fervor. Maybe the "Esther" in her middle name is shining through. I can see the "just do it!" attitude that my mom had coming out of my little 9 month old. I need to follow suit and just get to it. Alright... enough catharsis about not having written. I can hear... uh oh... Hannah says its now time to go tend to her.
