There are a gajillion ideas swirling in my head. Different things I want to write about and things I want to spread the word about. Trips we've made and recipes I've discovered.
But.
I have kids.
And a husband.
And I don't have time.
When I had just one kid at home it wasn't difficult at all to find time to write. He napped or played quietly by himself, and I was able to get some screen time.
Now there are two kids at home.
Only one naps. They never play quietly by themselves at the same time. And I rarely get more than two seconds of screen time during the day.
I have to carve out an hour or so on weekends where I disappear in my bedroom just to get my paid writing gigs taken care of. When I finish those I have no creative juices left to come here and write. I'm brain dead from forcing so much content out of my brain at once.
Other women tell me they write in the evenings. Well, I prefer to spend my evenings with my husband instead of my laptop. So what time does that leave?
This blog, which used to be such a big part of my life, is now an afterthought.
I told ya, priorities are shifting around here.

I've found that to be the case for me too lately...blogging is low on the totem pole of priorities. And I'm kinda OK with that.
I have found that my kids are at an age where it's really difficult to blog too...and yet I'm not totally willing to give up on it, but I do know where you're coming from. Totally.
Just blog when you have time. Your readers will understand. :)
Or pre-write a couple and keep them as backups!
its so hard; I'm so grateful for our three mornings of preschool otherwise I dont' think I'd be able to continue writing my blog and I certainly wouldn't have the time to visit other blogs.
I do blog in the evenings sometimes, but that's mainly b/c Husband brings work home and we sit on the couch together, tapping away on our computers, stopping every once in awhile to make fun of something on the TV or share a little something about our day. Not ideal.
I can completely understand that. It's so hard with everything else going on!! I agree to just write when you can - this is supposed to be something you enjoy - not just one more thing that is stressing you out :)
