Need content. Need time.

Yesterday I set up a "lens" at Squidoo.com.

So I got my blog, I got my lens, did I tell you I set up a free web store at ecrater.com? It's not ready yet. Rather time consuming, putting up all the products.

Also, I have once customer. My mother. I tell myself not to party until I have a customer who is not a relative.

What I need now for the lens, and for this blog, is content. I have a lot of ideas for content, but composing things or even copying and pasting interesting articles or providing links could occupy hours and hours and hours.

I am stingy with my time. Don't get much for myself.

Wake up at 5:55, have a quick breakfast with Big Honey before he goes to work. Then if all goes well, I have about an hour before the first kidlet wakes up. I might have time to take a shower, but I'm more likely to spend the entire time glued to the computer.

By 8:00 everyone is up. That means I'm making breakfast for four while breastfeeding the baby. Then we homeschool. Then it's lunch time. Then the babies sleep and the older two and I read. I check some things on the internet. This is also the time for the boys to do school stuff on the computer, and for me to get some housework done.

I usually start making dinner around 5:00. Big Honey arrives anywhere between 5 and 7. We have family time. Kidlets go to bed at 8:00. We have the discussion about how it stays light until 10:30 in the summer, but we still go to bed at 8. Big Honey is in bed by 10:00. Every couple nights I spend a couple hours on the computer after this, but the rest of the time I crash too.

So I have to be extremely careful how I budget my computer time. Sure, it's fascinating to read blogs like this one, but I can't afford that luxury.
