Back to counting

Well...it's been a supersonic long time since I've written. Too long, I'd say. And boy do I have a list of excuses. The biggest being my boys (who don't do the nap overlap (yet. I'm still hopeful)). But it feels a little wrong to blame my kids for not writing when the topic I feign to write about is having more kids. Like if you do the math, how much more would I write if I had three instead of two kids--a less than negative amount, I guess.

This is the sleep-lost way of saying, I DO want to get back to the blog and I DO want to make it more visually appealing, ramp up the content, and get reader feedback, and I DON'T want to use this as a forum for talking about how easy it is to procrastinate and not write when you haven't slept more than three hours straight for a good few months, though you'd really like to be posting everyday and it's not like you don't have the ideas all stashed upstairs and eager to spill out onto your keyboard at inopportune times like 3:32 a.m. when your 7-month old is nursing for the second time since nigh-nigh. Get it?

So I'm going to set reasonable new blogtastic goals for myself:

1 post twice a week (more if possible, but not less)
2 Spread word about the blog (don't use it as my personal incentive to write, solicit opinions to inspire more writing).
3 make it look good--scarp the dot art interface and make it look like something you want to come back and see everyday, or every four days (as my new posting regime dictates).

So, get ready. I'm back, with a little more perspective on how kid count can impact your life (and your blogging).
