My "Three Tweets Thursdays" is taking longer than Thursday. It's taking me all week. I make a draft, then edit, tweak, and edit again. My Thursday tweets are causing me to miss out on writing anything other than tweets and it's annoying me a little.
Every time I get on the computer, the girls start fighting. I'll hear screams coming from the other side of the house like they just witnessed our cat being run over. Because I'm an only child, it's mind blowing to me how much siblings fight, especially same gender siblings close in age. But, I digress.
My intentions were great starting out and it was a clever idea. I always imagine there being more hours in the day than there really are.
As much as I love my blog and enjoy working on my writing, I'm also feeling a tad bit convicted that it sometimes takes away from my most important job-being attentive to my children.
When I read this quote by David O. McKay, it really spoke to me about my true calling. I liked that it was written by a man.
I've got fledglings to teach flying lessons. Therefore, my Thursday Tweets will still be around, just every third Thursday. Stick around for next month's "Three Tweets Third Thursdays". Now, say it fast three times.

The noblest calling in the world is that of the mother. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece or who can write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages long after paintings shall have faded, and books and statues shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor man can give. (Gospel Ideals pp. 453-454).

I think blogging has to be something that fits in around the major pieces of life.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree! Life is what makes our blogs great. I get envious when I see some women who can build huge blogs or websites, be the classroom mom, teach a class, cook fabulous dinners every night, clear their homes of clutter all the time-not just when people are coming over. But, I just cannot. I would be like Cinderella with no sleep. on way too much caffeine, and who just found out the prince wanted to marry her stepsister. A slave to my own standards. No, I have a life to live, a pretty awesome one. Ahhhh!
DeleteHa ha so I had your blog minimized on my phone and I would pull it up on occasion to see if there was anything new. Here I thought you had not written in a while. I just had to refresh it :) love reading your blog!
