In honor of #ThrowbackThurdsay, I designed today’s graphic using WordArt. Doesn’t it make you think of middle school newsletters?

One of the many items on my to-do list this week was to come up with an “official” blog schedule, so you would know when to find me. I’ve gone back and forth and up and down and upside down. I want to say I’ll post at least three times a week. I want to say I’ll post every day.

But I can’t. I’m getting my MFA, I’m in the middle of publishing my first book, I’ve got two kids (one or the other is always at home since neither is in full-time school yet), two dogs, and a husband. And I need sleep. I’m trying to be better about not over committing myself. So, for now, the blog will be updated on Thursdays.

Why Thursdays? Well, Thursday is my favorite day of the week right now. I have classes on Monday and Wednesday nights, so Thursday is the day that I feel like I have a chance to breathe before diving into the next week’s homework. Neither kid has anything going on (generally) on Thursdays. Thursdays I clean the house and do the laundry and all of the other things I wish I had time to do during the week. It’s the day I start new projects and dive back in on whatever I’ve had to put aside for the week. Thursday is my favorite day.

So…Thursday it is. See you next Thursday.
