deadlines, vacations, and upset bellies

Buttercup has a runny diaper and I am feeding her Pedialyte like it's going out of style.
In that mix, I am also trying to pack for a four-day camping trip while finishing up some assignments due while we are on vacation.
Did I mention we are taking the baby and leaving the dogs home.
Yes, I realize I am insane.
No, I can't change my mind now. My parents told me the window of opportunity is now sealed shut.
sh*t!
Anyway, with all this craziness, I am trying to figure out how to best approach the handling of my blogs. Ruff Ruff is going to be expanded and perhaps I'll even come up with a monthly newsletter, once I get enough readers and support-that is. And from my newly installed counter-i know people are reading.
Who can resist Finnigan and Cat?
So no issues with that one.
I am wondering, though, about deadlines and if I should be reviewing products on this blog or perhaps creating a spin-off. I like the idea of reviewing products for the entire family from baby to teen to lipstick to boy toy gadgets. With Metro Parent's Five Fabulous Finds, I only review Mom and baby/kid stuff.
And IF I create a spin-off, what do I call it?
And are people even reading this? Dare I spend more unbillable time on a free venture when I am still working on bringing in an actual salary?
I know I am getting traffic on Ruff Ruff, and perhaps I will resign myself to just keeping things as is and use this blog as a means for self-expression, no matter who might '(not) be reading, and to share my trials and tribulations with any work-at-home moms who may find solace in knowing that there is at least one mom more screwed up than them on the blogosphere...
*Sigh*
Not like I'm making any money off this baby, so no need to rush the decision.
Off to tend to Buttercup, pack, do laundry, and get started on another deadline.
