Peanut Cookies

 

 

 

Ever feel like you are loosing your mind?

 

Like everything you touch falls apart?

 

Is your "to do" list much bigger then your "done" list?

 

Do you just want to crawl into bed, cover your head,

and sleep until you just wake up?

 

Yeah, me too!

 

I find myself really struggling to stay a float.

 

Here is it the 16th of the month and this is my

first blog post.

 

I have made a ton of cookies this month.

 

And I am TIRED!

 

 

I work a full time job, leave the house at 7am, often get home

after 6pm, only to toss some food at my

husband , son and dogs, and work on cookies.

 

 

Then when I get the cookies done,

there is still pictures to take, cookies to bag and box

and when that is all done, the last thing I want

to do is edit and watermark pictures, and the

thought of sitting down to write a blog post,

well...I just don't have it in me most nights.

 

I know we are all busy, I am not alone in this,

so I don't want your sympathy, what I want to know is

HOW!

 

How do people, work full time, work on hobby businesses like cookies

or cake, and maintain a blog.

 

I know that in order to grow a blog, you have to be

on a schedule.  You have to post

good blog posts, and post them regularly.

 

I have come to conclusion, that, well,

I just can not do that.

 

I was talking to a dear friend of mine, a fellow blogger, who

also works a full time job, and she feels much the

same way I do.  Her blog is very successful, but she is

stressed all the time,

 

I have to wonder, Is it worth it?

 

Is it even possible to have a successful

blog AND work a full time job?

 

If so, how?

 

 

I just don't have it in me, I don't think I am

a lazy person, although some days I just want to spend my

day on the couch watching Bravo TV.

 

But I do care about my blog, I want it to grow, but

I just don't know how.

 

Do you have any idea how heartbreaking it is

to work really hard making cookies you are proud of,

take the time to picture them just perfect, edit them to

perfection, spend hours creating a wonderful blog post, only

to post it and have 20  people see it, and of those 20 people,

no one leaves a comment.

 

How about that total sense of failure, when you

post a picture of Facebook and 145 of your 2,500 likers see it?

 

 

Yeah...that all sucks.

 

SOOOO

 

Instead of busting my bum, only to get upset,

I have decided to stop stressing about it.

 

I will do WHAT I can...WHEN I can.

 

 

Sorry, if you are here and expecting regular posts.

 

Sorry, if you want to know that every M-W-F, there will be

a new post at The Cookie Puzzle at 9 am.

 

Sorry if you think I am a total looser, who can

not get her act together.

 

Haters gonna Hate

 

 

And there is nothing I can do about it.

 

 

Take it or leave it

 

My world will go on.

 

 

Oh...these cute Peanut cookies, I made them

for my sister, for her birthday.

 

Happy Birthday Susan!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until next time (whenever that might be)
