a cold night

It's very cold tonight and I really should be in bed because my baby girl (Indie) will probably be awake 4 or 5 times in the night wanting a cuddle or a little nurse. She is teething so sleep has been hard for her. But instead of being tucked in my bed (warm) I am sitting up late with cold fingers writing my first entry for my blog. I'm tempted to wait until I'm more rested, or more inspired, but really this blog is about me writing in the ordinary moments of my life. The thing is I get deeper thoughts about my life all the time, but before I have a chance to develop those thoughts I'm rushing off to change a nappy or wipe up weetbix before it dries into a cereal plaster on my floor. And so all my deep thoughts about God and life and the meaning of motherhood tend to get lost it the frantic rush of baby and toddler. So maybe, just maybe this will help me stop for a moment and capture those thoughts before they are gone forever. Hmmmm... we'll see. I'm off to bed
