			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-207" title="pastedgraphic" src="http://leprakans.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/pastedgraphic-441x500.jpg" alt="pastedgraphic" width="335" height="380" />Why do people blog? I am sure that people who do not blog wonder why? I for the longest times was just a reader of blogs. I personally thought it was interesting to see a snap shot into someone else&#8217;s daily life. I think people are strangely transparent  when they blog maybe because they don&#8217;t really see the  people or readers who they are writing too. Or if you are like me and just starting a blog you are not afraid for people to read it because you really don&#8217;t have a following.=-)</p>
<p>I dont&#8217; know why other people start to blog, but I can tell you why I started.  When I quit my job in April of 2008 I was really lonely. I mean I was used to being around adults all day and I worked with my very good friend. We sat by each other and ate lunch together every day and when you go from that to being around a 2 year old and a 5 month old well frankly put you want to blow your brains out sometimes.  You go from having  mostly stimulating adult conversations about kids, your husband, the economy, politics I mean everything to conversations that consist of which is your favortie Wiggle, what color you like the best to well &#8230; you are talking to a 2 year old. And  your husband just never quite understands why you are like &#8220;oh yes another adult I can talk to&#8221;.  He is really not that interested in your day of dirty diapers, dirty dishes (because they seem to never end) and snotty noses. He has put in his 8 hours and wants to come home and relax and you feel like climbing the walls because the kids are a. driving you crazy or b. you have not been out of the house all day because sometimes with two especially when one is a baby was just to darn hard.  I know I am not the only one to feel this way so I started to blog about it.  If nothing else it was a way for me to get my thoughts and frustrations out and down  not on paper but online. And if anyone cares to read it then great.</p>
<p>So I blogged for a while but then just quit doing it, but I have started back up recently and I have really enjoyed it. Come to find out I really had no clue there were so many mommy blogs out there.   Stay at home moms or working moms that are just like me and understand exactly what I am going through. It&#8217;s so nice to read what other mothers post and to feel like you are not the only stressed out crazy mom.  Because no matter what foot we put forward in public our kids drive us nuts. We love them but sometimes&#8230; well if your are a mom you know exactly what I am talking about.  We love em to death but they have a way of finding that one last nerve and just jumping all over it.</p>
<p>As far as people really caring what you have to say I think in the end they do. It lets them know they are not alone they can share thoughts and ideas and even love. I think this has really been demonstrated by the online out pouring of love for Heather Spohr and her husband Mike Spohr over their beautiful daughter Maddie&#8217;s passing.  I for one have been touched and humbled by their willingness to openly share their joy in Maddie&#8217;s life with their fellow bloggers and the world.  Heather&#8217;s post today made me cry and I just prayed for her and her family. It has made me hold my own Chickens a little tighter. And to be thankful for them in all their craziness.</p>
