It’s Saturday Night and I Don’t Wanna Write

But I will anyway, because…

As I sit here on my couch it’s Saturday night, the kid is in bed, there is an ice cold beer in front of me and I wanna put my feet up.

The only problem is, I haven’t written anything today.

“Ah, it will be fine. Sure I can always get back on track tomorrow.”

This was my initial thinking. And I almost followed through with it.

But, here I am now. Writing.

How come?

Today has been a busy day. We had an eleven-year-olds birthday party to attend this morning— paintballing, it was great fun but all that running around took it out of me.

Then on top of that my two-year-old son was extra energetic today.

So we had a fun packed day, out and about in the local area. Going to parks, walking, shopping and playing at home.

The time eventually came for him to go to bed I thought yes, time to unwind.

As mentioned above, I had already convinced myself that no writing would be done today and with that, I began to prepare my evening meal.

And what better way to prepare food than to have a little music going on in the background.
