Don’t forget everyone! Blog Idol starts tomorrow morning. I’ve been told the hours to ‘vote’, read click and comment, are between 9am-5pm NZT. You can keep and eye out for it over on Stuff.co.nz and I’ll put up a link on here as soon as I can. I think that’s allowed.
I swear I would not be at all surprised today if I dropped dead this week. The emotional torture this has put me through today! Just imagine me sitting here with 7 different windows open, each one of them with a different blog post topic and about 50 – 350 words written on each. The flow wasn’t coming. My kids were around and it looked like no one was going to leave Mummy alone. The hours passed and my post was still looking like it would never come together. What on earth are you meant to write as an introductory post to a blogging competition? Was I meant to get straight into it blogging about a random topic or was I meant to try and build some sort of rapport with the readers? I had no idea! What was everyone else writing? Was anything I wrote going to be enough?
It just wasn’t happening.
Then my husband stepped in and told me he was taking the kids out. He’d already let me sleep in because I was so exhausted from the past few days. Traditionally on birthdays we wake up early and open presents together. Not today though, if I was ever going to string sentences together I HAD to sleep. My little guy managed to last till lunch time to open his gifts without any tears.
While they were out with their Dad I continued to float from one subject to another trying to pull it all together into an interesting and legible post. I finally got there. Then I looked up and Andrew and the kids were pulling into the driveway. I took it as a sign to just let it be and sent it through for publishing.
The anxiety’s died down thankfully. I’ve done all I can do. That first post was the hardest but it’s done and dusted and I can relax. All that’s left is to see what tomorrow brings but for now, lets eat some cake!
Happy Birthday to my little guy Davis. I have never met such a happy, funny and entertaining child. I am ALWAYS happy when he’s around and can’t believe how much he’s grown. Can’t wait to see what this year brings for him
