The Housewife's Brood

Ok...how the H to the E to the double hockey sticks...

Where did my time go?  Did I put it in the same place as my bank checks?  I can't seem to find it ANYWHERE and I am losing my mind! 

I so badly want to keep up with this blog.  I have so much to say - I find myself making notes on my phone while feeding H or writing on the back of some random envelope in the car when I think of a topic.  But getting HERE is the hard part.

It seems like lately, once H goes to bed, I either work on the awards event I have been contracted to do or I am cleaning like a crazy woman.  The good news is that I have the laundry in a manageable place.  I am super excited about Thursday when my SIL will be coming over so that I can clean top to bottom (while she watches H).

So here my blog sits.  With so much potential but no one to bring it out.  I have giveaways just sitting in the wings and more truths for mommas (or about mommas...or just by a momma).  When will I find time to get caught up?

Unfortunately, it isn't tonight.  It is almost 10 and I really wanted to try and get some sleep tonight.  It has been pretty tough going with H over the last week or so.  I really want to get some solid sleep before wake up call #1 (usually around 1:30 or so). 

I would love to hear from other mommas of how they are able to blog so awesomely while having a baby in tow.  One handed typing?  That's ok for emails and FB but I don't think I could do an entire blog one handed.  What are your tips?  Do you schedule it in?  Do you do it after baby's bedtime?  Another time?  Nap time?  I just always seem to find something to clean or do around the house that doesn't involve the computer.

Maybe once I get the house in shape on Thursday I can make a big dent in my blog and, maybe, I can keep it up again!

But any tips would be welcomed!

You just have more important things that takes priority. You can't beat yourself up because you don't have time. You have an infant, a house, a husband, friends, a gig outside the home plus the whole reunion thing. I have no tips for scheduling with an infant because all of my kids are now old enough to make their own sandwich :) Big ol' Kool-Aid smile. I say maybe block out some "me time" even once a week. One hour dedicated to your blogging. It might be some good therapy for you, if nothing else. :)
