A few weeks ago I had admitted to not blogging because I was not doing well and sticking to plan; I had admitted that I had gained about five pounds. Well.......
The phone rang and it was my friend Tracy. I have practically known her since I was born and she is truly like an older sister. Oddly we even share birthdays. She was one of my first friends to win the blog award. Well, let me just tell you that she deserves the award. She calls me up and says, "I am so mad at you". Then she went on to give me an ass chewing about how I haven't blogged and how I need to get back on track, etc.
Some people might be mad at this approach but I actually was really glad to hear it. I know that it means that she cares. I know that she is trying to help and sometimes it is just what a person needs to hear. However, it has to be from the right person and at the right time. Someone else could say this and I would be totally offended.
Then this week we have had some out of town, unexpected guests...did I mention that they were Tracy's parents?? So, I haven't updated. But this is my promise to be better. Stay posted for lots of stuff coming soon.
Hi Cheryl, that is the wonderful thing about a Blog...it's your spot to do what you want and when you to!! Here is a great link about blogging without obligation: http://evolutionlondon.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/blogging-without-obligation/ (read the stuff in the yellow box...I love it and it is so libertaing).
ReplyDeleteEverything has it's priorities! Pinterest is very addictive and that is why I don't do it, because the few times Tracy and I have gotten on, we have spent HOURS looking through the photos, ideas, and projects we would like to do to our house. It's like opening a bag of M&M's...once you start eating, you can't stop until the bags gone.
When I think about how there are so many things that demand our time, I truly believe that BALANCE is the key. Since I work, I hardly have anytime to do much on the computer and my time is limited so I just do what I can...I'm happy to be done with canning and done dealing with all of our produce that I can finally be back at least reading and commenting on other's blogs, besides just trying to keep my own blog up.
You need to do what's best for you and your life. Just post when you can and feel like it and we will always be here excited to read what you have to say.
Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN enjoying your kiddos!
