Oh.
No.
That's me... I'm the one who went from sometimes 3 posts a day to, um, almost none at all. Should I just close the thing down???
Well, I don't think it is any coincidence that as God began drawing me nearer to Him (remember, 6:00 a.m.???), my priorities changed, once again.
I realized I was spending too much time and effort on trying to capture every moment on camera so I would have cute pics to go along with stories...
THEN download those pics...
THEN try to make the blog site work for me instead of against me...
THEN (and here's the part that took the longest time...) trying to put my incomplete, incoherent thoughts into complete sentences that actually communicate a complete thought. I can't even sort out all the crazy things that fly through my mind! How am I supposed to convey all of that stuff to you... and sound half way sensible while doing it?!?!
As much as I enjoyed the finished product for all (2) of my devoted readers (me, and um.... me), I decided it was just consuming too much of the time given to me in each day. I'm not saying I'm busier than any single person out there. On the contrary, I find minutes to steal away throughout my day to put my feet up in hopes of seeing my ankles again soon! I just use those minutes differently than I did before.
Another BIG factor for me is that blogging while my 4 yr. old wants to chat or my 8 yr. old wants to irritate his sister does not make for a happy mommy! All the interruptions could drive a person to drink! (Grape juice, of course...) So, obviously, the time to blog would be after they go to bed. Sorry. I know how sleep deprived I'm about to be. Sleep is a necessary commodity in this house. Mommy's sleepy, Mommy ain't happy... and you KNOW what they say is so true! Momma ain't happy, ain't NO BODY happy. And again... there's the 6:00 a.m. thing. Nope. Kids go to bed then Mommy goes to bed. It's a rule.
So what about all the fun posts I promised you? Well, maybe I'll get around to back tracking... but honestly, probably not. Call it a bonus if it happens...
I'm still reading the rest of your blogs and enjoying those moments with my feet up while doing so... It's just too much work right now to try to trap all these thoughts in this swiss cheese brain of mine AND make it sensible for you. Gives me Scarlet (O'Hara) Fever just thinking about it. As a matter of fact, I can't think about that today. I'll just have to think about it tomorrow....

i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE reading your blog. so you have at least 3 readers that i know of. :)
Frankly, Alice... I don't give a ... hey Something shiney.
Completely understandable. Sometimes ya just get busy. Sometimes ya just cant think.
Sometimes ya just cant shutup - Oh wait... thats me!
I'm right there with you. Just decided to cut back on the blogging a bit. I don't want to completely cut it out. My family that live away love reading it, and my kids think it's neat. I think I just need to not work so hard to get a blog published. Even just pictures would do. Besides, they already speak thousands of words by themselves.
All understandable. I have mine pretty prioritized with everything else so, I'm OK time wise for now. (What I have to keep in check is reading so many others, not doing my own!!)
I just enjoy it too much, chronicalling for myself and my family of 4. I hope to get it all printed and bound somehow--because I don't scrapbook!!
