That Blog….
I don’t want to become that blog. You know the one. You find a quirky little blog it isn’t big and flashy. Just a comfortable corner in cyber-space. You aren’t even sure why you continue to pop by that blog. The writing isn’t dynamic, the photos are passable… but somehow you connect with the writer. Perhaps it is because it is an honest look at a life with all it’s faults. Then one day you stop in and there hasn’t been any new posts in over a week that then stretches to over a month. Finally, there is a frantic little post that says. “I’m all right, I’m still here, life just got in the way but I’m over that and now I am back in business. Only, a week goes by and nothing….
You bookmark the blog so you can check back in but after a few months the same page that has been there for months is staring back at you. Finally, one day it is just gone.
I don’t want to be that blog. I guess I have to figure things out a little further than I did a few months ago. I love to blog. Yet I have only managed 4 posts in the last month. Elijah asked me at supper tonight if I was still blogging. I want to, but I need to take care of the home-front too, and I am still juggling all of that. I do feel like I am making headway with it, but it is slow progress. I have my excuses my computer is dead and I am competing for time on the slower desktop. Most weeks I am gone a minimum of 2 times for Joel’s appointments. This week had 3 appointments, next week 4, and the week after that 3 again.
I know some blogging Mommas see their blog as a career and you make time for it and you work it. I guess if you know that, that is what your blog is you will make time for it. Unfortunately my little blog has no real definition to it other than it would document our journey through the ups and downs of life. So I apologise yet again for the infrequent posts. We ARE still here and we are moving forward. I don’t want to be that blog…

Oh I am quickly becoming "that blog". I haven't posted since my son's birthday on February 25th. Life truly does get in the way and that's how it's gotta be. Otherwise I get obsessive and my priorities get all outta whack. It's okay to be "that blog" if that's what works for your family. Most of us just go, Hey! look a new post and click over when we notice you've had time. No worries!

4 times in a month seems good to me:) I'm still here,

I'll be that blog with you my dear! I love your blog and you must not go away EVER! I do miss you when I don't see you for a while. I have layed in bed and thought to myself, "wonder how that Cheryl is doing with her clan, or I pray knowing there is a hospital appointment that day. It's ok to be a little space on cyberspace, I'm in your same boat! You stay right where you are at and when you write I will read, promise!
My recent post rain, run, and St. Patty!

OOh, I can completely relate to everything in this post. I haven't blogged anything for three weeks now and it's been very sporadic the last few months. My days are so busy with 4 kids + homeschooling + day home kids…..
I'm glad to read a little note from you, though. Keep doing all that you are doing and things will settle out eventually, right?

Well, if you’re not off living life then what will you have to blog about in the first place, right? Live life to it’s fullest and blog when you have time. The few blogs that post will be rich and worth reading. BTW – I love your blogs!
