Oh friends, I am tired today. Sorry about the lack of posts this and last week. I'm not sure why I started a blog with a newborn at home. I operate on his schedule, not mine. And his schedule is highly, highly fickle. And then there's the tiredness. Oh the extreme, can't get used to it no matter how hard you try tiredness. You know, all the parents who had gone before us (into parenting I mean), warned us about the tiredness. But I shrugged it off. How bad could it be? I mused. After all, we'll have this adorable little baby. Who can feel tired with an adorable little baby around?
Me.
My husband.
All the time.
Okay, not all the time. But often. You learn to work through it. At some point. But learning to blog through it is a completely different matter. I do not have many coherent thoughts when I am tired. It is futile to post non-coherent thoughts on my blog for the world to see. (Yes, the WHOLE world reads my blog.) I could lose credibility (assuming I have some). I could lose readers- You! My faithful readers. And so I do not post when there is no time or when I can't pull my eyelids up* long enough to log in to post.
*Case in point: I first typed "pull my eyelids apart". That doesn't make any sense. Why would I pull my eyelids apart? That sounds really painful and is not at all what I meant to say. Non-coherent.
So there. I'm doing this for your own good. For the good of the whole world.
But- in order to help me stay more consistent, I am playing around with the idea of a few theme days that would guide what I blog about that day. Have any ideas? Let me warn you that I am a HUGE fan of alliteration. HUGE. So the theme must follow that pattern. For example: Wordless Wednesday or Thankful Thursday.
On Wordless Wednesday (which I actually call Less-Words Wednesday, because- uh- have you met me? I am seldom wordless. Okay, I'm never wordless.) I would post some pictures following a theme with captions. On Thankful Thursday I would post about something I'm thankful for. Those are just a couple thoughts. Come on- whose got an idea to share? I have a few, but I want to hear from you first.
I operate very well with structure, so hopefully this will help me be more consistent.
Have a wonderful, non-tired day, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Or - just a thought - you could put the blogging aside for a couple of months until everyone is sleeping more. :)
