I'm teetering on the edge of insanity. I cannot spend an entire day (yes...trying to navigate picasa has taken me my entire morning!) trying to post pictures from the last 3 weeks while my children are running rampant and Chris' head is about to explode trying to deal with them. I feel like I'm going to explode. I want to post pictures from the last 3 weeks...we've had a lot going on. However...I apparently don't have the time, energy, or support to keep up with a blog. I'm contemplating just ending it ( no, I'm not suicidal...I'm talking about the blog). I have to work. I have family obligations. I have to do laundry. I need to sleep. This blog is my way of recording memories from our life...like a family diary. Not a way to compete with the rest of the blogging world or my BFF. My personality is such that if I'm going to do something I want it to reflect me... I like things to be cute...for me...it is an outlet for my creativity. Some apparently view my blog differently. I would argue that I only have 3 readers...who else would I be doing it for if not me...i mean, really...? as if i were that shallow...
I'm frustrated. I'm hurt. And I'm done posting for a while.

Four years. Four. That was the length of my blog break. I'm guessing that whomever once followed me will not be here anymore, and ...

So sorry honey. I love your blog. I feel like we would be total bffs if we lived by each other. I am so glad I have gotten to know you. But you are right, do it for you, screw everyone else. There is way too much competition among bloggers (and mommys). Who cares what anyone thinks. I hope things look up for you soon. I hope you get some rest too. Take care, I'll keep checking. kisses and hugs sent your way
OK, Becca, so I left the original comment then I went to take my dog out and it hit me like a 2 by 4, is Becca talking about me?! Holy crap, I think you could be, I'm one of your loyal readers and commenters, I am thinking I must have said something, I don't know your other readers obviously besides Sarah and I know you don't have any beef with her... process of elimination. I am so sincerely sorry if I hurt you. I promise that I never intended to make anyone feel bad. I feel the same as you. Blogging is a way for me to scrapbook when I don't have time to do it the "regular" way. I think it is so cool that others can look at my ramblings and maybe they get some joy, a good laugh, or affirmation, who knows. I especially love reading other people's blogs, famous people,US Weekly, Jillian Michaels, my friends who have moved away, and more importantly moms like me that I have stumbled upon. I love feeling like I have friends who I can relate to and have things in common with. In this crazy world we live in, sometimes my blogging friends are the only ones I truly get to connect with on a regular basis. I wish my blog was super cute, stylish, always up to date and had a cool header like others but that isn't going to be me. I get what you are saying about that too. Seriously, who has time for that and playing with kids, doing laundry, cooking, exercising, you know? I do from the bottom of my heart, apologize. I hate posting this for the world to see but I guess if I was the jerk, then let me own it. With my tail between my legs and my best puppy dog eyes, I promise that I love reading about your family, I hope that mine, or someone else's comments, do not keep you from blogging more.

I don't think so girly. If you stop blogging than how I am supposed to see darling pics of your littles doing fun stuff.
I promise that you will be happy you stuck with it, even if you post once a month. It is all your own, and all for you and you will love it. Life may never slow down, there will never be enough hours in the day, but please know that there are people who enjoy everything(big,small,or once in a while) you have to offer the blogging world.
uuuuuuuuuummmm. . . . .o.k.
love you :)

Ok Becca, I was more than a little worried yesterday. About a month ago, I got a kind of nasty comment on my blog from someone I have never met but blog-talk with regularly. I didn't think she meant it to be mean but I took it that way. It really hurt my feelings and I thought for some reason I had done the same to you. Never assume I guess. Anyway, I do hope you continue blogging, we love the pictures and updates.
