What’s on my mind… Blogging addiction and life

Hey all!

I’ve been MIA for the last week, and it has been great!  I’ve been getting so many things on my never-ending To-Do list, had a wonderful Easter at the cabin, and have been so productive at home.

This blog was supposed to help with accountability, but I noticed the time it was taking was actually taking away from the time I could devote to meal planning, workouts, and less stress = less snacking.

It has also been extremely unsettling to let the blog go so long without a post.  It’s funny how it gets in your blood and becomes almost an obsession!  I think about possible posts daily and I feel strange letting a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday go by without writing something.

Finding time to fit it all in is always a struggle.

I’m a stay-at-home-mom with a 2 and 3 year old, I chauffeur my 3 year old to half-day preschool three times a week, my little one can be a handful but deserves the one-on-one attention during that time, and there always seems to be a mess to clean or some kind of hitch in our day.

Along with the blog, I work from home.  I try to get in 15 hours a week during naptime, bedtime, and one day a week when I get some help from Grandma and Grandpa.  My husband has been struggling with trying to find a new line of work and my part-time pay has been a blessing during this unpredictable time.  To add a little more excitement, my husband told me last Wednesday that he actually quit his job – yikes!

So… I’m trying to make the best use of my time.  I took a break from blogging, but it’s funny how it can become a part of you! I literally only missed two posts, and I couldn’t let one more pass! It’s just a little blog, I don’t devote enough time to promotion, I don’t get many comments, but I love connecting with others on social media and I love this little space for myself.  It definitely has a bit of a hold on me.

Blogger friends, do you find yourself a little blog-obsessed.  We’re on our own schedule, but it feels strange to take a break!

Other Mommas, who can relate to thinking we should get it all done but ending most days wondering what happened? 🙂
