It always makes me laugh how I start out the year with great ambitions for this blog. I see others gain traction and I just sit here plugging away with minimal to no change. I'm truly beginning to believe that if you want to succeed in the blogging world, or any entrepreneurial world for that matter, you must be a SAHM or only work on that one thing!
That's not me. I'd like to be there, but I'm not just yet. I have a full time job that takes me away about 40 hours a week. I'm lucky that's it's flexible and there is a often downtime so I occasionally have a chance to write a post like this. But yesterday, I took the day off and I swear to you, I feel like I got nothing accomplished?! I posted here for the first time in forever {insert Frozen tune} about my new cup rack, and I made drafts for the rest of the week, but it's like I'm always flying by the seat of my pants and never gaining traction!
Today I just wanted to say thanks and sorry. My goal is to give you {Hello? Are you there?!} posts 3x a week. Lately that has not been happening. I've been trying to keep up with my one post a month even over at The City Moms... and that DIY happened at about 8:30pm last night... so you see how I'm working. Doesn't help that my turdmuffin has been going to bed around 10pm and then getting up for an hour to tell me things she forgot to tell me before finally falling asleep (hopefully before me) in her own bed and then waking up at 4:30a on the dot to come sleep in my bed.
I'm always wondering how people do what they do. I assume people probably wonder how I do what I do, but I'm here to tell you it's all a farse. haha. My house is a disaster. I feel like I'm always looking at a device. I feel like I'm drinking POTS of coffee every day. AND I'm not doing what I want to be doing like blogging and decorating and entertaining... It can't be healthy to be stressed out, strechted thin, and then hating most moments of it!
So... that's all my excuses...
But on the bright side, I somehow finished two books recently. Both were books that enlightened me in some ways. Both were complete opposite sides of the spectrum -- Books entitled Making Things Happen & Moms Who Drink & Swear. You can see how I might fit into both at this point. haha. I have slowly started to revamp my kiddos room. I've done a couple DIYs and spray painting projects which make me happy. I've been paying off some debt which is always good. And we've had a Maeve collaborative shoot as well as cranked out a wedding!
Now if they had pills for feeling like you've slept without sleeping, I think I'd be good!
Oh well... I know I only have a handful of followers and I'm honestly not even sure if any of those followers still read Little Miss Martha as it should now be titled "Little Miss Martha takes on the World and Falls Off the Wagon But Gets Back On Again Every Other Month." Wonder if that blogger name is still available... checking... seems more appropriate.
All I know is that this blog has chronicled some very very important days in my life. It's been a way to vent and document. It's also been a way to meet people believe it or not. It also led me to start Maeve and the blog over there (which is also lacking some good content due to making sure I get some sleep sometimes...). I'm not going anywhere. I'd love to just be a fun place to stop and maybe see some fun quick tutorials, hilarious pictures, inspiring quotes, or even just real life things.
I hope you'll stay along for the {bumpy and sometimes one of those where you fall out and get back in because it keeps tipping over} ride...
xo,
