If you have nothing nice to write, hit delete

My posts have been a little infrequent as of late. It's not Little Elvis' fault -- he's still doing lots of super cute and adorable things. OK, last week was a little his fault, he decided to change his nap schedule and made for a rough few days.

The lack of posts is all me. I've been in a mood for the past few weeks and when I attempt to write anything, only negative stuff comes out. I tried just writing and then deleting. But hitting the delete button only managed to delete my words, not my mood.

Since the writing and deleting didn't work, I tried ignoring my mood. Even when I'm very foul, Little Elvis can make me smile.

But it hasn't really gone away. Stuff happens. And I need to accept it.

On top of my foul mood, I've gained weight. These are probably connected.

So, I'm starting a new exercise routine -- unbelievabley awful allergies, headaches, exhaustion and mood be damned.

Hopefully it will help lighten up my mood, as well as my body.

In the meantime, look at that sweet face. He was trying to smile for me, and I had the camera set on some setting that took forever before it clicked. Those are some pretty eyelids, though, aren't they?
