A Daily Blog? Daily?

A daily blog? It makes sense. I wouldn’t have to email everyone each time I post an entry.

A daily blog? Potentially boring. While my family does have awesome adventures, sometimes we just stay in pajamas and do nothing all day. That’s cute – once. Each subsequent time, it’s just boring. Eventually, the frequency becomes embarrassing. Worse, we do occasionally have a terrible day and, while that may be interesting, I just want to go to sleep at the end of terrible days. I really don’t want to write it all down and post it for everyone (the six people who read this blog) to see.

I must also consider that I don’t really do anything else daily. Well, I do basic survival maintenance: eat, sleep, pee. Other than that, I have a list of things I’d LIKE to do daily, but don’t.

- Eat dinner – that I have cooked - with the whole family at the table. This is part of my “SuperMom” fantasy. The reality is that I only cook on the nights that I have remembered to thaw the meat, arrived home before 4:30, managed to stop at the store for that one essential ingredient, slept well the night before and therefore am well rested and – here’s the big obstacle – already washed yesterday's dinner dishes. This amazing convergence of circumstances is rare.

- Shower. When I shower, I want to wash and condition my hair. With the leave-in conditioner that actually works. I want to shave everything. I want to exfoliate my face and scrub my feet. This takes half an hour! In the morning I’d rather sleep. At night I’d rather read. Don’t be grossed out. I DO shower. Just not daily.

- Poop. This was not on my list a few years ago. I used to never pay any attention to poop. Then I had kids and was completely consumed with concern for their bowel health. Once they had the whole #2 thing down, I started noticing the complete lack of regularity of my own bowels. Discomfort! Odd noises! How many carrots did I eat!?!? Now, at the end of the day, I count a normal BM – if I’ve had one - among my blessings, along with my beautiful children and handsome husband.

- Exercise. Just kidding! It would be nice to want to exercise daily. I know that I should exercise daily. But I don’t actually want to exercise daily. I want to exercise never.

If I commit to a daily blog, then showering, exercising and family dinners are slightly less likely to occur. And I don’t think blogging effects digestion.

If I don’t do the blog daily, then nobody (you six) will ever remember the website address, and I will have to alert you each time I update. But I guess that wouldn’t be the end of the world.
