I can't keep up with what I keep trying to do with this blog. Just dealing with the pictures takes way longer than it used to. Creating public albums is taking forever. Things don't seem to work right most of the time. I need to come up with an alternative. I even still have more than 20 draft posts where I need to add the pictures. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but there will be some sort of change. I can't post things on the day they happen because I have to wait for Google+ auto backup to work and now that I store my pictures on a networked drive sometimes it takes days for it to realize there are new pictures to even backup. I pay for 216 GB and have filled it a few times and had to delete things but if I use auto backup it does not use any of my storage quota.
I often wonder when other mothers find time to blog. Ella goes to sleep too late. Last night she fell asleep a little after 10 and I went right to sleep. She woke up at 5. Some days her naps are only 45 minutes at a time. Even right now I still have not taken my post-run shower and I ran yesterday morning. I need to eat, sleep, and shower during her naps. I also want to clean or should clean. I just don't have the time. Sometimes she will play a little so I can do something but she mainly wants me right there.
I like to keep the blog up but it just doesn't seem like I can. So this post wasn't all whiny I put a collage of Ella from yesterday when she was happy.
It is hard to find a balance. It will be easier when she's older and naps are longer and more predictable. But another thing is, you blog every day (usually). Most other mommy bloggers I see don't blog daily. So you have to keep that in mind, too. I think you're doing great!
ReplyDeleteYea my goal is 1 post a day. Taking 500 pictures a day is where my problem starts. If I only took 50 things would be easier.
DeleteAfter I typed this I remembered at one point you made a post about posting less and I commented that I didn't want you to because your blog was my favorite.
I can't even post weekly anymore. ;) I don't know how you can put as many posts up as you do already!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm already killing myself and not cleaning or not sleeping. Something has to change. I need to post my 25 draft posts though. But then it kills me to post them without the pictures that I have but just don't have them ready.
