Finding Time to Blog

Why is it the average person doesn't seem to blog regularly? I was reading a friends blog for the first time today and noticed they blogged in spurts. Of course, then I thought about my own blog and was mentally smacking myself for not blogging more often. This of course, made me wonder why the average person doesn't blog more regularly and I started to evaluate my own reasons.

I have spent the last three months looking for a place to move. Mind you, our lease doesn't expire until the end of July, but I have been so ready to move for the last eight months, that I started early and wanted to have all my proverbial ducks in a row. This has required most of my extra time and therefore, all of it has been spent scouring the Internet looking for just the right place. And my diligence has paid off!

Of course, we have to factor in the long hours at work. I work full time and I rarely have "down" time at work and am unable to spend time surfing the Internet and accomplishing all the necessary tasks at work. (Hmmm, you think I get paid to surf?) When I am not working my regular 40 a week, I tend to work OT and that is always nice when the check comes in seeing that I do not get paid to blog...yet!

Then of course, after that hour long drive home, I have all the wife/mommy responsibilities. You know cleaning, cooking, and spending time with the family. I am not the average person; I like spending time with my kids and husband. I also like having a clean home and cooking, but never to excess!

By the time you climb into bed half asleep already at 10:30 there is little time to blog. With summer here, and the kids away for a couple weeks, I have managed to find more time doing some of the things I rarely find time for. It has also helped that lately, my wonderful husband has taken to performing some of the required activities at home. I have felt very blessed to have some spare time and am obliged to make note of that so he knows how much I appreciate him. After all, the only way he truly knows how to communicate is with a computer, but that is another blog in itself!
