What I Ate Wednesday

After a few weeks of manually moderating What I Ate Wednesday entries, I’m exhausted. I tried moderating glued to the computer, for fear that if I don’t get the links up and through fast enough there would be complaints. I’ve tried batch moderating during select intervals during the day, which was still overwhelming and pulled way too much time away from the chickpea for my liking. Then I tried just sucking it up and doing the best I could, which still doesn’t seem to be enough at this point.

There are still dozens of links that are random recipes for oatmeal or some sort of dessert without a single What I Ate Wednesday post to accompany it. There are still random posts from several weeks ago being linked up that have nothing to do with a day of eats or foodie inspiration of any sort. There are still links containing random phone dumps of mostly unrelated food photos with no rhyme or reason. I can’t do this, guys. It’s maddening at this point. Of course this is not the majority, but it’s such a large portion each week that I’m at a loss of what to do.

I love What I Ate Wednesday and really do hope to continue it, but today there will be no party. I’m at the point where if I have to spend one more day obsessing over “well this is almost a WIAW, do I let it slide?” and “well there are 10 random pictures of food in this one, if I let the almost-WIAW slide I have to accept this one too…” and “OMG WHAT IS THAT?!” then I’m going to lose my mind.

I need my sanity, folks. I have a tiny human to raise that deserves a momma that’s present, not glued to her computer and/or phone moderating links and agonizing over the consequences of my acceptance or denial of submissions. The thought of policing this party, which has proven necessary given the circumstances, has me so tightly wound that I’ve been bugging the living crap out of my friends trying to figure out what I’m supposed to do.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

So yeah. There’s that. Has anyone seen the chocolate? I need a piece of chocolate.
