Time?!?!
I have really been struggling with blogging lately. I just cannot seem to find the time to write, and the ideas and pieces I want to complete are accumulating just like the clutter in the house. Â In my very first post I expressed my concern with this problem. Perhaps this is why there are so few blogs by women with large families. Duh!
What I am realizing however, is that it isn’t really a lack of hours in the day. I am awake, I am at the computer, and yet the pieces are not written. It isn’t writers bloc. It’s exhaustion. I am staying awake, relishing my quiet hours, too tired to go to bed, and too tired to do anything of substance. Â I spend a great deal of time awake but not functionally so, and it is truly a waste.
If I can just get myself to the point of fewer hours awake but more hours of “quality, functioning Ima” awake, I think I can finally post the posts that I want to. Â As well as finally tackle the laundry, the checks, the piles, the mess of cards in the corner, the thank you notes, the……….
I’m going to bed.
I know what you mean. I planned on blogging about Kinus, I just have not done it. BTW, I added you to my blogroll, perhaps you could do the same for me?
Absolutely! Looking forward to reading your post on kinus – I know it will be very different from mine!
You took the words right out of my mouth. Sometimes I mean to blog, but can’t come up with enough strength to do more than play on Facebook instead. Each blog post is hours of imagination, planning and intent. At the end I feel like I have given birth to my post. And because I write about family life and always include a recipe, I look like I have those pregnancy extra pounds as well. 😉
I think the exhaustion problem will resolve itself in 16 years. In the meantime, drink 2 (pots) of coffee and call me in the morning.
mama tired is *something,* isn’t it?! but, can i just say, that *this* was an important post!! we’re all so-very tired and can so relate to you feeling that way and yet wanting to put something meaningful “out there.” coffee and chocolate, maybe? hang in there, mama!
