... Putting a 1-year-old to Bed

She'll fight you, she'll cry and pretend she's not tired, but in the end, she will always thank you when you've wrestled her down to sleep. Blogging is the same. The words don't always want to come. Sometimes you wish you'd never signed up to do this. Sometimes you would rather be doing anything else. But it's always better when you just do it.

... a clogged drain

You've seen it happen. The drain was fine yesterday, and now nothing will go down. You start with the natural remedies, sure things will work, but end up pouring every chemical known to man to get it to go down. You pray and plead and cry, but mostly it's time that gets it to clear. Blogging is like that, too. You read advice columns, and famous blogs, and work on your photos, and ad the ads, but sometimes it's just a matter of giving it time to grow.
