you may say its been awhile...

oh my goodness, its been awhile. I can not believe my last post was in july. and I love that it was double l's birth story. seems like such a good note to end on as he is the only reason I started this blog. but here I sit, reading my favorites (so sorry if I have not commented), and thinking maybe its time for me to get back to my own blog. see I never meant to stop blogging, I just did. I just stopped logging into blogger. stopped having the need to tell life-stories, little rants, etc... we got busy with summer vacations, home renovations, and life's little surprises. but a few of you checked in and boy that made me feel so wonderful. THANK YOU! we are doing GREAT!

please know that I have been out there, reading your blogs when I can, checking out your pictures, wishing you well and learning from your findings.

as winter quickly approaches (my fingers are actually cold), I have been thinking about slowing down and getting back to writing (maybe). because the next day, I think of all the things I have to do and the NO time I have to even think about writing. but then I logged into blogger and just started typing. typing this ridiculous rambling. and I am thinking about all the wonderful things that have happened to us over the last four months and how I want to tell you all about it. all the challenges we have faced and how I could use some advice. I have time for that. I should write all those post. What I should not do is feel the pressure that I think I felt after awhile. the pressure to post exciting, encouraging, thoughtful, well written (kidding - obviously I never felt that pressure) stories. the pressure to attend conferences, read all the emails from companies soliciting 'mommie blogs' and writing them back either accepting their offer (because it was up my ally) or politely declining (because it wasn't my cup of tea). I felt that it wasn't my double l blog that highlighted our adventures.

so, I guess that's why I quit. I walked away. but something made me log in tonight. no reasons even pop into my head. just because I guess.

have you ever quit blogging? just said what has this blog become? run out of things to say because you just don't want to say anything at all?

maybe I will start again. I would love to show you my little man now. he is a big boy. he is so smart and growing up so quick. I think I really want to tell you about it.

hope to see you soon.

I hope you want to tell us about it because I have really missed you, but will respect any decision you make.

Blogging is a funny thing, isn't it? I understand all that you are saying and have been there myself - Do I really want to be sharing all of this? Do I really have anything to say? Do I want to be doing this at all? ... and then there is also the other side - the side where you actually, as crazy as it is, become friends with those whose blogs you read, even though it is usually only a fraction of their lives you are reading about, you still feel as if you know them... I tell you, It's just a crazy world!!!

Anyway...

It was so fun to see a post from you! :) Have a wonderful weekend!

So good to "hear" from you. You've been missed and I bet double l is getting so big! When I first started the blog, I felt pressure too but once I finally figured out that I write for me and my family - to document our life, the pressure disappeared. Hope to see you back soon.

I have wondered about you too. I'm so glad you hear you are doing well! Take your time, and post when you can. :)

What a treat to see a post from you in my reader! You have been missed!

Lora said...

hey! You're back! And I'm already 10 days behind on blogs. Ack.

I think about quitting blogging every day, I swear I'm going to take my turn at a hiatus one of these days!
