Today was rough.
I am typing this post at 7:45 PM on day one of Blaugust. I don’t want to fall behind, but sometimes, days will be like today. I expect a few more as the month goes on.
The kid woke at 4 AM this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. This happens a lot. It has happened throughout their life. These wake-ups are why I can’t commit to a streaming schedule, consistent video creation, or keeping a blog current. It is also why I decided to take the plunge with Blaugust. The purpose is to show me that blogging is the most accessible medium to share what is happening, the things I enjoy, and the news I find helpful.
There will be many more days like today this month. It is a fact of life for me. If evening posts are what I need to do, so be it. I am rusty. Blaugust participation is about the practice – building the writing muscles I used to use so much. This event is thirty-five days of building up my blog and the greater blogging community. I shouldn’t worry too much about the length of each post.
When this is all said and done, maybe I will finally find the words to share more of the day-to-day life as a Dad of a kid with PDA and just why I need to remain a full-time parent. Perhaps this is my real reason for showing up this month.
Also, sorry for no links post this week. We will try again next Sunday.
