Bloggone It!
I’m surprised y’all still read my blog, considering I haven’t gotten my act together to actually, you know, write a post in five days.
I could give you the stock excuses, busy, tired, working, cleaning, busy, blah, blah blah. But, the truth is I haven’t got much to say.
Well, that’s not entirely true.
I have tons of blog posts in the works, but never enough time to actually finish writing them.
It’s not just the fact that I’m busy, it’s the lack of motivation. I almost feel like I’m over blogging. Now, before you get worried, I’m not going to stop blogging. I love to write. I just don’t feel empowered to put my thoughts down.
Maybe it’s because of the surge of local readers that have been visiting. I have this urgent need for privacy lately, and rather than vomit words on a page, I’d rather write in my journal where my thoughts are safe from nosy people who simply visit this site to keep tabs on me. Y’all know who you are.
If I didn’t have a stat counter things might be different. But every time I check that counter, I see all the people reading from my home town and I freak out. These people rarely comment and I just don’t feel comfortable sharing my innermost thoughts with them.
I know that’s insane. I’m a blogger. It’s my job to write about my life and the things that are most important to me. But lately I feel like there’s no dialogue going on here. It’s just me using words, weaving sentences and sharing my thoughts.
I’m sure I’ll snap out of this funk sooner or later. I’ll return to regular blogging soon. Right now I just need to re-evaluate this blog’s direction. My priorities need to be realigned.
So that’s where I am right now…
There’s just not much else to say.

Blog breaks can be SO refreshing.

Normal. I have to edit myself because family reads me. Not so easy. Or fun.

I have more and more local readers. People like Julia’s preschool teachers, her ballet instructor, all the playgroup moms…and I get paranoid now and then. I understand where you’re coming from! I’m glad it hasn’t kept you from blogging, though.
