Too Much of a Good Thing
Yes, I’m here. Here. Here. Here.
And, that’s only because I’m overdoing it.
I’m polishing off Silas’s plate of healthy, uneaten food (center cut pork chops with a light mustard cream sauce, brown rice, and very lightly sauteed zucchini slices) and drinking my second glass of (not so posh) wine while he sits on the floor mixing corn meal into the sugar bag with a butter knife.
And, I’m not stopping him.
I’m not sure why I’m not. But, I’m not.
So, there.
I’ve started several holiday posts with no success toward completion. But they started out really damn good. If I do say so myself. So, yeah, at least one of them is in the wings. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
I hope you had a delightful holiday!
I kept it together so well my mother asked me if I was popping pills. (Thanks for the vote of confidence.)
I wasn’t. Popping pills.
So, yeah, I feel like all went really well.
Now Silas has poured corn meal on the floor and is mixing chocolate animal crackers into it.
I’m a bad mother. Very, very bad.
But, I’m posting, aren’t I?!?
And, it’s like, abstract art. The mess that Silas is making.
I’m letting him explore his inner Picasso.
Or, whatever.
So, this is where the post ends. I started it over a week ago. Haven’t had the time or gumption to finish it. But, a friend recently said that the key is to post not necessarily to finish the post. So, here is the first of many unfinished posts. Expect little direction and nothing profound. But, expect.
(For the record, I eventually cleaned up the kitchen floor and got Silas to bed. Not exactly in that order.)

I fully believe Silas is Pollock.

Thank you. Both.
