I’ve been in a rut lately in a number of ways so I decided to try something totally new with photography.


Let us start by noting that I am not reassured by all those people who tell me that three is actually worse. Or that four is worse that three. Apparently at 18, assuming you haven’t screwed up too badly, they move out and it gets easy.
All of this is to say that the proverbial terrible twos have descended upon this house and I am, shall we say, finding this a difficult age. A typical incident involves J agreeing that he would like macaroni and cheese for lunch, screaming the entire time I am cooking it, eating most of it, not eating for a while, screaming when I take the bowl away and then throwing it on the floor when I return it to him. Multiply that by two kids all day long and you may get a sense of how frazzled I feel.
Well, perhaps “frazzled” is the wrong word. At any rate I have been in a funk this week. Nothing bad has happened. Nothing is wrong. I just feel, well, frazzled. Over-whelmed, stressed and out of sorts. Nothing may be wrong but nothing seems to be exactly right either. I’m frustrated with the tantrums, frustrated with photography, frustrated with the house, frustrated with my life.
Sigh.
