The Story Of My Evening As A Work From Home Mum....
Posted on the 07 July 2017 by Sparklesandstretchmarks @raine_fairy7.30 PM...The boys are finally in bed (Pssh...In my dreams...I'm totally lying, it's more like 9pm by the time we've played the "I need a drink, I want one more story, I reeeeeeally need a wee wee" game for an hour and the little demons have finally gone to actual god damn sleep...)..Time to write some blog posts!
7.45 pm - Set myself up at my computer, can of Diet Coke at the ready...I'm SO looking forward to this...my head has been buzzing with blog post ideas all day!!! So...let's go....
Hang on a minute...what were those ideas again? What was it I wanted to write about? Hmmm...I'm sure I must have made a note about it on my phone...let's just check....Oh look! A facebook notification...better just check who that's from....
8.30 pm - *Puts phone down after having aimlessly scrolled through Facebook and Instagram for 45 minutes*...What was I doing again? Oh yes! Writing!
Ok come on, let's get on with this....
8.35 pm - *Stares at Blank screen*
8:45 pm - *Still staring at blank screen*...
Oh this is ridiculous, I've had loads of ideas today! Why can't I think of anything to write about?! I know...I'll get out my little Ideas notebook...I just need a prompt, something to start me off...
9:45 pm - *puts down notebook...having spent a hour writing out my shopping list, daydreaming about what order to wrap my christmas presents up in this year and doodling endless flowers*
OH FFS!!!! I've been sitting here for 2 hours and I haven't done a bloody thing!!!! FOCUS!!!!
I need inspiration....let's just have a little look on some news websites...there must be a trending topic I can write about...
10.30 pm - So the news websites led to half an hour reading about the ins and outs of Perrie & Zayn's relationship, the latest breakdown of some Made In Chelsea I've never even heard of but now feel totally invested in, watching a couple of YouTube videos, and yet more aimless scrolling through Facebook...
But FINALLY! I have an idea for a post! Let's open up my blog...and off we go!
*Types first word....*
"WAAAAAAHHHH!" says the baby...
11.00pm - Baby all fed and back to sleep, time to head back downstairs and get on with it...
"MUMMEEEE!"...calls the toddler...."I think I've done a poo poo in my bed...."
11.30 pm - Half an hour of cleaning bottoms and reassuring the toddler that there are definitely no zombie sharks under his bed tonight, I finally get back to the computer...
Now...what the hell was it I was going to write about it?!
Oh just forget it....I'm going to bed!
*** Please tell me I'm not the only one?!?!!
