Excellent metaphor! My herod tends to be myself, unfortunately. I often have to push my lazy tendencies to the side to get my writing done. Coupled with all the random emergencies of day to day life, I get much less work done than I like. Thanks for this great post!

My Herod is leftover construction dust. We bought a brand new home and not only did I (we) have to clean the old digs (a rental), but now I have to clean a bigger place before we can really ‘move in’. I thought life would be easier here, but, nope. No grass, just dirt. Dirt in my cupboards, dirt on the closet doors, dirt even on my freshly painted walls. Do you know how many Swiffer thingys I’ve gone through and paper towels? I shall be on the look-out next time for Herod and hopefully be mentally prepared if not otherwise.

Boy, does Herod come. Two months ago I started an agency and started booking orders for some important raw materials. Everything was going alright when I decided to offer a wider range and introduced a new item that needed to be imported from overseas. We booked the orders and we received a due date that has long gone and today I have lost the old customer for the old range as well as the new item. People make commitments that they simply do not give importance to.

Thanks, that’s a great analogy. Maybe the modern day equivalent of a trip to Egypt is unplugging the Internet connection. Seems to me that a lot of Herod’s sneak in that way.

In your situation, maybe outside help could handle some of your Herods while you nurture the baby.

Now I’m off to deal with a bunch of Herods I hadn’t noticed until this post…
