An A to Z Challenge apology. Kind of.
Well….
I might have bitten off more than I could chew by trying to conquer the A to Z Challenge this year. If you take a quick glance at my blog, you’ll see that my A to Z posts have kind of tapered off. You shouldn’t be surprised. It’s not like I didn’t warn you.
I’m going to get it done. I promise. But it probably won’t be finished by the end of April. Part of me says I should say that I’m sorry. But I’m not. Sometimes things just happen.
I am going to finish the Challenge. And I’ll back date them so they’re in the order they’re supposed to be in. It kind of makes sense to do that.
To those of you who have been able to stay on track, congratulations! I’m happy for you! This is a much tougher challenge than most people think. You should be proud of yourself.

It is not the easiest thing to do unless you have it planned in advance or have loads of spare time or are Mad. . . I like the A to Z and when I had more time I posted something everyday anyway so it was fairly easy. I just dont have the time now but wrote all the posts in advance and they just pop up automatically, I can then claim I am awake 24/7 and my fingers are bleeding and my brain a mangled mess of words (that bit is true).
My theory is folk blog for lots of different reasons, the A to Z is a jolly if folk finish great but if folk dont well its no big deal one must remain chilled and blog for the reasons they started in the first place.

It’s a hard Challenge! I can’t believe it’s almost over though. Whew!

We all need to prioritize. This challenge is a bit of a marathon. I did it last year and had a blast, and then on May 1st, I took a look around and realized how much I had let the challenge take over. Big lesson. This year, I’ve been pacing myself better. Like you, I have three kids and a dog (no guinea pig though) and balancing a marathon with all that is a lot.
