Being a Blogging Mama is Hard Work! Who knew?!

I am exhausted, it's almost 1 am and now I just finished my Bloggy work. What is Bloggy work? Something I just made up. But it refers to the act of reading other blogs, following, commenting, participating in events for Bloggers groups etc. It took me several hours of this and now I have a few minutes to share my post.
Many people out there may think that Blogging is easy but it's not, there is so much work that goes into it, it's not just coming up with something to write, that would take a few minutes of your day. But if you want to be successful at this you need to build a community, find people you like and have people find you and like you. You cannot create a community who follows you by simply writing in your personal blog and not doing anything else.
I have joined several Blogging Groups:
Circle of Moms
Social Moms
Bloggy Moms
Mom Bloggers Club
VoiceBoks

and then I have Twitter and Facebook
The good thing about all these websites is that you get to meet other Bloggers like you, there is a strong sense of community and we help each other out. The bad thing about it is that it takes a lot of time and effort to do it right, to have time to find the other blogs that really appeal to you, to create connections, to make friends. Because the main purpose of my Blog is to impact people in a good way, to help people, to inspire.
Right now I sit here, thinking whether I should do the dishes or not, and also notice the pile of laundry that I never got to put away after washing it. I guess tomorrow is another day.
If you are a blogger I recommend you check out the Groups I have mentioned, it is worth it, and if you are already a member of them, how do you find the time to do everything? Do you have some tricks? A routine? I work part time outside the house and today I had my Women's Writing Group and had to take my daughter to the eye doctor, so had a full day. How do you squeeze time for everything?
