Goals Shmoals

Did you know that it's National Blog Posting Month? I'm not sure who invented it or exactly why, but it means that some die-hard blogger folks are trying to post to their blogs EVERY DAY this month. Does that sound crazy-overwhelming to anyone else? I absolutely love the idea of it, though it remains a statistical impossibility for me since it's already the 8th and I am only on my fourth post. It reminds me of my distant, well-intentioned January goal to "blog ten times every month" for a whole year. It didn't sound impossible--or even unlikely--at the time that I decided to aim for it, but then something happened. It's called having a baby. And there went that idea. Along with my compelling "read three books a month" goal, and my less exciting "get dressed before noon every day" goal. (Okay, I'm just kidding, that last one wasn't a real goal; I'm not crazy, you know.)

If I DID post every day this month, I just might up my post-count enough to at least average ten posts a month for the year. But alas, methinks I'll need to leave that endeavor for next year...at which time I will have an 18 month old little boy and I will likely reminisce about the days when he was an infant and stayed in the general area where I put him down. So, okay, we'll call it two years. Two years from now I'll crank out 30 posts in 30 days. I bet you're getting excited just thinking about it!

I'll be honest...I've never seen a cuter reason for not accomplishing my lofty goals!
