One reason.
I can’t commit. To much.
Well, I’ve committed myself to my husband and my daughter but that pretty much spreads me as thin as I could possibly get. I can’t do much more than that.
And it’s the first commitment I have ever made. And stuck to. So far.
Wish me luck.
So you see, NaBloPoMo or as we like to affectionately call it here in these ‘rebellious’ parts GoBloMeMoFo, scares the living shit outta me.
I blog to release some stress in my life. I blog to vent and get some crap off my chest. I have also learned in these few, short years that I blog to connect. With others, like me.
And of course, I have connected in the name of NaBloPoMo. As the “bad seeds” of the blog world. The rebels. The non-committers. And I love it. However, I couldn’t possibly join in on the daily commitment of blog posting at my place.
Which is why I have agreed to help the Velveteen out. This commitment seems to scare her too..and I wanted to help. She is of course, braver than I ever could be because she actually signed up for the party...I just chose to ignore it and follow the Hell’s Angels path to BloMo’ing.
And I have saved the Velveteen Rabbit in the meantime. Hey, if I can do my part to keep her sane. Then so be it.
My own sanity is long gone.
So here I am again. Helpin’ a sistah out. I sure do hope she’s blo’ing something special out there...*sort*
Back to commitment. Or lack there of. I have a hard time fitting in all the stuff that blogging entails. AND keeping some sort of real life going. I do have to MOTHER once in a while, no?
So this NaBloPoMo thing gives me the queasies. I can’t blog every day. And read all the blogs I want to read. And Mother. And catch up on the reality TV that I love so much. And read actual books. And drink my coffee. And volunteer at my daughter’s school. And make my husband still believe that blogging hasn’t begun to rule my existence.
(Notice housekeeping wasn’t in there, yeah. Me too.)
Or, I will need some serious uppers.
A girl can only take so much.
So, for those afraid to commit, I salute you!
But save the rabbit.
