Writer's Block

I was all excited about writing a new blog.

This one was to be for me.

To talk about the things that I was interested in.

And to explore some of the stuff that's going on in my head.

You know, one of the hardest things about being a solo mum is that there's no one to talk to (well, apart from the 3-year-old - and those conversations, while having their own skewed appeal, aren't exactly deeply significant)

So, I:

• Thought about it in the car while driving Mitchell to a park (accompanied by the soundtrack to "Bob the Builder")
• Researched blog names - while Mitchell was having his nap (Please God, let afternoon naps continue for as long as possible, they're a life-saver for this Mama)
• Played around with the design - all those pretty, pretty, options are way too time consuming....
  
• Got called away to deal with grumpy just-woken-up-child, and snack, and immediately-required-trip-to-the-library (since books were due today), and laundry, and dinner, and cleaning-up-disgusting-mess child has made in Mama's bedroom (you do not want to know), and scolding, and bath, and cuddles and songs and bed.....

Then, I leave the dishes in the sink (told you I avoided housework), and I come back into my desperately-needs-sorting-out office to write my first post, and am lost for words.
How can you have writer's block with your first post?

Perhaps I need to write down my goals - that's what all the serious planning books tell you (I used to do this stuff for a living, what's happened to me!)

• I will write in this blog at least once a week.
• I will not over-think my blog posts. Whatever is going on in my head will be my subject.
• I will not try to be balanced and objective. This is my perspective. Deal with it.
• I won't identify anyone else in this blog - anonymity for guilty and innocent alike.
