Writing Challenges

I have made it a personal goal of mine to post once a week and write one article a month.  I have been doing pretty with my personal challenges.  However it is not as easy as it seems.  You would think that I could just sit down at my desk and pound out a post.  Right?  In theory that is how it is suppose to work.  After all  my lovely little children supply me with all sorts of material to blog about.  I just wanted to express my personal challenges involved with being a mommy-blogger working from home.  

Challenge #1  (Herman)

See that big black and white cat?  That’s Herman.  He is always sitting in my chair.  He is so cute, and I hate to disturb him.

Challenge #2 (George)

See that cute little orange ball of fur?  That is George.  When he is not sitting directly in the middle of the papers that I am suppose to be looking at he is hiding behind my screen.  He is  just waiting till I least expect it to swipe at my hand as I move the mouse.  I call this technique the paw of pain.

Challenge #3 (Mommy-Brain)

So now I made it to the computer.  Fought my way past not one, but two fearsome beasts.  Then I sit at the computer, pull up the screen and sign in.  Then every intelligent thought that I have had all day just leaks out of my ear.  I forget what I was going to blog about.  The cute conversation that I heard the kids having this morning.  I forgot it.  I remember that they had a cute conversation that was totally blog worthy. I forgot what was said.
