I’m going to have to scale back, I think… I get under six hours of sleep and every morning I hit the ground running, to go at top speed all day… and golly, I’m just bushed. I got a new work-at-home-mom job recently, and it’s great! But it’s very time-consuming… and so is blogging… and so is educating the kids, cooking, cleaning, and all the other things I must do. I feel like I am burning out. Not to mention that my laptop got a STUPID virus attack thanks to some blog I visited. I wondered why it had been acting funny, but I never made time to scan it… so I had to reformat the thing.
*sigh*
It’s just been a stressful time, I guess. I really can’t complain, I’m not running for my life or out on the street or anything! I’m so thankful that I can be busy. But I think I’m going to have to scale back. I will be blogging less, I suppose (not here but on some other websites). And while I still will visit you guys and leave comments when I can, I’m going to do a lot less surfing. I wish I had time, but I don’t. I’m reassessing everything… and it’s time to make some changes in my life.
The plus side is I will be concentrating more on quality then quantity. I intend on developing closer friendships with fellow bloggers, on writing more thoughtful posts than on “filler” posts, and on NOT feeling that blasted pressure anymore. I’m reorganizing all my associations, and will probably slash some blogs from my portfolio.
Time to reassess.
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

Glad to hear it! I get tired just reading about all that you’ve been doing.
I’ve been doing a lot less surfing, too. Maybe God’s trying to get us all to focus more on the important stuff.
You’ll be in my prayers.

I was wondering how on earth you were doing all you do while still finding time to like, sleep! I guess you weren’t. :-( You sound like you know what you need to do though (I see the EC widget is conspicuously missing - I was alerted by Dr. Mom who noticed before I did - I’m guessing you don’t want to spend any more time dropping OR reformatting hard drives) - I know you’ll be good at prioritizing and focusing on what’s really important in your life. I pray that God will bless you with discernment to make good choices, that He will give you clear direction on where to focus your energies, and I pray you will find a balance between God, work, family, friends, and REST.
Well, I’ll still be visiting all your blogs whether you post 3 times a day or once a week, whether you have EC or not, as will your multitudes of fans and friends I’m sure. :-D ((((((HUGS))))))
