I thought this blog would be a good idea for me. I've felt lately like a one trick pony, a mommy pony who mothers and cares for and entertains, and kisses pony booboos. You get the idea. It is pretty much the best one trick to have if you happen to be a one trick pony. It does leave me asking though why just the one trick. Why not a several trick pony or at least a 2 trick pony! This analogy amuses me but is getting a little nuts. Alright I'll just come out and say it. I feel like I've lost a few qualities that used to be integral parts of Kristin Scoffield Baldwin. The first is my memory. I didn't know it at the time but I used to have a very sharp memory, especially when it came to people, names, places, movie lines, great literature plots/characters/metaphors/moments....I loved being a student and flying by the seat of my pants when writing for an impending deadline. I always did that to myself and it almost always paid off - usually wrote my best papers under pressure.

I think I'm a great mom and am loving it. I need spring to come and come now. Getting some sun, fresh air, and exercise is bound to help clear up this cloud following me around. Love.
