Alright I'll confess up front...I'm a list person. I thrive on lists...I accomplish very little without a list, but since becoming a mommy my lists seem to be a constant source of frustration. Before it was mostly up to me whether or not my list was completed, but now...now there is a second person who has more power than I do over whether or not my list gets done. I'm not sure I've completely conceded on the issue yet, but whether I accept it or not it seems to be the case. So you ask, why the rambling? Well, blogging is ALWAYS on my list. I want to show people the cool things my little girl does and show her off to the world, but Gabbye could not care less if I blog or not! So I find myself in a constant state of "Well, if I blog now, I'll have to catch up the last X months from when I last blogged". So, because the task seems so overwhelming, it merely stays on my list that is never quite finished!
Today marks a new day on the Petersen blog. I hereby declare that I in no way shape or form intend to post all pictures of Gabbye on the blog...additionally, I do not claim they will always be in chronological order and finally I confess there will be events that go "unblogged".
There now that I've gotten that off my chest I'm free to post a pic or two and feel zero guilt associated with it.
Don't worry, I'm looking at other options where I can upload albums so you can browse if you choose...or not, but I won't feel any pressure to come up with witty captions for every picture. This will make the blog a less stressful, more enjoyable way to share my family with you. And by the way, I'm crossing blogging off of my list...permanently!
I didn't know you had a blog! I've added reading it to MY list!! The never-ending to do list - totally get that! With blogging it's like, well, I can spend all my time blogging about the last two hours or I can spend time with my family . . . hm. I personally like the feature where you can pre- or post-date a blog - I'll write blogs about events three months later and then they just magically appear in the right order as if they were always there. But I agree - get over the guilt and keep it fun!! Great advice.
