Blogging.hmm
Seems to be on a downturn,doesnt it?
Very few comments,less posts,less audience?
I remember when I first started blogging…I felt pompous,who cares about my life and what is in it that is so important that someone would want to read about it?
Things havent changed much,but I have learned through it,that everyone has something to offer.
Hopefully through this blog people have learned a little about Down Syndrome,maybe a little tolerance?,no,thats the wrong word but you get the jist.Maybe they have learned a little about grocery shopping for a ton of people on NO budget or maybe you have just learned that there is nothing more important to me than my family.I dont know what anyone has learned but I hope something and I hope that you have had a few laughs along the way too.But now I am at a crossroads.Should I keep this blog rolling? I dont know and only time will tell.It has been a good 4 years,but maybe its time to bow out,gracefully.Maybe I willl see you again soon,maybe I wont.In the meantime,please cherish those sweet and salty moments in life….Peace out,yo.
I will miss you if you go! I think that so many people just spend their time on facebook these days. I blog as often as I can, but I don’t have as much time these days, and I am just getting my internet through a wifi signal, so it hangs up all the time, and I can’t load pictures.
I think you should stay!
stay.
otherwise we won’t see baby K grow!
and I think we will all have more time to blog when summer hits….
Don’t go! If it wasn’t for your blogs, Myspace, and Facebook I probably would have never known you. I love reading about your life and all you post… not just one topic. When you moved your blog from blogspot to here I lost you for a while. Reading about other SAHM’s lives helps me more than you know! It is nice to see that other people have the same issues I have and that I am not abnormal, haha!
ahhh… it’s quite a decision, isn’t it… i’ve mulled this one over on and off for months. everytime i think i’m through with it, i get inspired to keep plugging. using twitter and facebook status to inform folks of new posts has re-heated a little interest, but comments, what i consider to be the “currency” of blogging, are still pretty scarce. sitemeter says folks are still coming around, but without comments the fun is largely gone.
i also sort of look at it the same way missionaries are often forced to look at their witnessing efforts. many times you never see the fruits of your labor, but you have to be content to know you’re planting seeds. so even if people aren’t commenting and giving feedback to what we write, we have to keep in mind that something we’ve written has somehow made an impact. i for one got a big charge out of your grocery-shopping post, because when we were at the baptist home there and were responsible for shopping for our cottage, getting the biggest bang for our buck was a huge game for me (yes, I did the shopping
so for now i’m content to keep plugging away as long as the traffic is there (and i hope you will be too). that feeling is subject to change tomorrow… or even later today
I am in the same quandry. I ebb and flow with posts and most of the time it feels like a “responsibility”. Yet I cannot bring myself to give it up. But I get much more enjoyment out of facebook.
I’m with ya… and I think that for a lot of us it’s just the end of the school year craziness. I know that I always have a ton more time to blog and read blog during summer when ball is over and such. You can do like I do.. I only post a couple of times a week now and don’t stress over it. Makes it fun again!
I’m on a break but don’t leave!! We will miss you. I read don’t comment, but I do love learning new things about your little family!1
Well, I hope you stay but I understand your dilemma. I feel the same way. It seems sometimes like a chore and with three kids, & a full time job. Then there’s Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc. *sigh*
I hope you’ll stick around and at least post pictures of the kiddos every now and again.
I am so behind on my blog reading…when I read this post. Please don’t go KT. I love reading your blog. You are one of the bloggers I want to meet in real life. And, since we don’t really live that far from each other, it’s surely possible one of these days!
I haven’t had much time to blog either. Plus, distractions like Facebook and Twitter keep me busy as well. I blog when I can, and hope I don’t lose any readers when there’s a lull..but I still enjoy it. I hope you decide to stick around, I love reading about you and your family and looking at your beautiful family photos!
I hope you decide to stay! I want to watch your kids grow up on here!
I haven’t had time to comment as much as I used to, but I still like to read/follow through bloglines- I’ve enjoyed getting to “know’ you and your family!
Please don’t go! I enjoy reading all the blogs I follow and have gotten to know a little bit about a lot of you that I would never have known thru another means. Some of you I have met personally because of blogging. And each person I get to know enriches my life in some way.
I also look at my blog as a kind of journal. If no one but me reads it then I at least have a journal for myself. You too will have a journal of things your kids have done as they grow up. So hang in there and don’t feel pressure…just blog when you want to.
Yeah, don’t go. My commenting has come to a halt (no time right now), and my comments have dropped dramatically (maybe because my blogging itself slowed). But I really like going through my old stuff. I like having something to show the kids one day, even if I never had another reader. And besides all of that – I like keeping up with you even when I can’t comment. Stay, girly.
