Honest Blogging
Well, so much for my plans to blog on a regular basis. February is almost over and I think this is my fourth post of the year… and I was going to post everyday. Every time I sit down to blog or think about blogging I don’t feel like I have anything worth writing about much less writing something that anyone else would want to read. Because believe me there are some awesome blogs out there. I don’t see how they turn out wonderful blog posts week after week. One of my favorites Heather Spohr somehow posts something every single day and she has a new baby. I read her blog daily and if I skip a day I get to read two the next day it’s like an extra treat…Another favorite in Attack of the Redneck Mommy this blog will have me laughing hysterically or crying one. I love her posts. There are so many others I love and I read them and think I could never write something that good. Because pretty much my extent of editing of any kind is using the spell check button and sometimes even spell check won’t recognize the word I am trying to spell. (This is a handy trait I inherited from my dad who butchers words as he sees fit.) Anyway all this to say that is why I have let this blog go.. I am a perfectionist if I can’t do it right why do it at all?
This is not a good attitude to have so I will try and push on with my new years resolution of honest blogging. I think I need to blog for myself first before trying to blog for the masses. Blogging is a great way to try and get your thoughts and feelings out of you. And I think that is something I need because I am at home all day with a 2 and 4 year old, and the conversation is not always that stimulating. Besides my husband can only take so much girl talk when he gets home from work. So hang on and buckle your seat belts because I plan to give you an earful in 2010.=-)
Hello 2010
Hello ….. It has been a long time since I have blogged.. I hope to get back into in the new year. It seems every since we moved from the Mill into our new (old) house that I have just stopped blogging… It really can be a good outlet and I need that as a stay at home mom.
We really enjoy our house but it does seem to take more time trying to keep this place picked up. And I am actually trying to keep up with laundry for once. I think I am doing a great job to not have laundry 3 feet deep piled in the corner of the laundry room, but my husband still has to tell me sometimes that he needs clean underwear. So I guess that is something I need to work on in the new year.
I have read many blogs that are just brutally honest… And really what is the point of blogging unless you are honest? But I think I try to sensor myself to much, because people I know might read it. Or sometimes I might try to blog about something that I think will get hits… and really what is the point of that? I want to blog for myself otherwise I won’t do it. I want it to be an outlet for me and if it ends up getting read great and if not great.
So I plan to just blog about what is important to me and what interests me… I know a lot of it will be about my kids because I am a stay at home mom, but I know it might stray into other areas.
Anyway that is one goal for 2010 for me to blog on a regular basis for me. As to some of my other goals for this year. To get in shape to eat healthier to spend more quality time with my kids to have devotions on a daily basis. Well I will just try to work on those one at a time.
I better run make lunch now the Chickens are hungry…
