Writer's Block

As I read other blogs, I notice that I'm not very loquacious, expressive or humorous in type (yes, I love vocabulary). Which is funny because if you really know me, I don't usually have an issue with figuring out something to say. I have also noticed that things sound MUCH funnier in my head than they do on paper (or on screen I guess is a better way to put it). I was trying to come up with possible explanations for my writer's block - Here is my list -

1. I live a boring life and there isn't much to write about (yeah, right - it is far from boring)
2. I have so much to say... I can't narrow it all down
3. I'm trying too hard
4. I need more hours in a day
5. I wrote too many papers in college and I'm out of words
6. Pictures are worth 1000 words - why write when you can use pictures?
7. I use preschool language all day and when I start to write, I forget how to write and speak like a grown-up
8. I'm afraid to get too personal...
I'm sure there are more excuses, I mean explanations, but truly I can't think of any more at the moment because Cory is making little annoying noises and picking at his sister and she is being little Miss Princess and trying to run the roost. SO, that being said, maybe I'll add one more to the list -
9. Don't try writing when my kids are awake
