Silence Please
Setting up a website is hard. Learning new things is hard. Navigating through countless YouTube videos and Google searches in order to figure out how to adjust a font size on this template is hard. It seems as though all of this should be easier. I hope that I can chalk it up to growing pains. I really want to grow here.
I am currently nursing my second cup of coffee of the morning, hiding in my dining room from children who seem to constantly need every single bit of my attention. I have told them that today is a no-television day unless they watch it in their playroom. This would at least afford me the short amount of time that they can be entertained by a Disney movie before one of them says something mean to the other and the tattling begins. It is never-ending. I know that this age (4!) will not last forever, and someday I will miss all of their preschool cuteness, but that day is not today. I am trying not to feel guilty for thinking that. I just want a few hours of quiet so that I can figure all of this out.
It is raining/sleeting outside, and the weather fits my mood. I’m cold and cranky, and I wish that I knew how to make this process simpler. I am continuously getting locked out of my account and changing the password, which infuriates me. My computer is currently telling me that “of” is not a valid word, and I am dangerously close to losing my mind. One of my biggest weaknesses is that I get incredibly frustrated when I do not learn new things as quickly as I think that I should. I am ridiculously methodical, making lists and taking notes and planning, but sometimes even those things aren’t enough. Where is my easy button?

The girls have decided to play in the other room, which seems like an answered prayer. For now, they are settled down with a YouTube video and a floor puzzle. I have taken the dog out (in the rain, remember), and I have reheated my coffee twice since I started writing this post.
It’s time to go figure out how to change that font size.
