That question has been asked of me, and my answer is............I dunno. I do have alot of other things to do during the day besides blogging, but truth be told that I could find time if I wanted to. I think that I have become frustrated with blogging and the weird world it creates. I think that if I do continue to blog, it will just be updates on our family and pictures of the kids. I just haven't found blogging a good way to talk about anything of substance. I think that it could work on an anonymous blog, but not on our personal one. I have even stopped reading many other blogs because I end up reading the comments and they usually go like this:
blogger post: I have a question for you readers....
comment #1: I have found that for me..........
comment #2: You must not know blogger because she is the best blah blah blah
comment #3: I didn't mean to offend, just offering advice..........
comment #4: Those type of people are so..........
And so on and so forth.
I can't tell you how many times I have read this scenario but at least a dozen that I can recall.
So if I do continue to blog, which I think that I will on maybe a weekly basis, it will be geared to those people that know us and care about seeing pictures and updates of my kids. (Ellie is walking around the house right now with a baby doll giving her kisses. So cute!) For those people that know me and want my opinion on current events or anything possibly contentious, email me and ask. (No, I don't expect any of those!)
We just got home from a week in CA, so I will try the new blogging schedule soon. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

How funny, I've been TOTally thinking about you lately and about how you hadn't blogged in awhile, and I was going to email you to see how you've been!
I have such a love/hate relationship with blogging. I will miss hearing your thoughts and perspectives!!!!
I know what you mean; I usually stay away from the comments except for a couple of philosophical-education-type blogs that have a small, reasonable readership. :) And I've been trying to be better about clicking through from one blog to another, especially from personal blog to personal blog of people I don't know...it seems rather like the "she goes from house to house" gossip Paul warns Timothy about. :)
Mystie, you are so right about the "house to house" comment. I had never thought about it before but that really makes sense to me. Thank you for bringing that up. I will be in touch soon. Bennett woke up throwing up when we got home and I want to make sure it is just food poisoning. Talk to you soon.
I hear you, I now only use reader to check my blogs. I cannot view the comments unless I click on the site specifically, so it cuts down on that. I HATE when complete strangers attack me through the comment section of my blog. Who are you and why are you telling me things like this? I've considered turning my blog to private to lose the strangers, we'll see. I don't think I will want a public blog when my kids are school aged. I know I don't personally know you, but Mike does and it is nice to see family updates from time to time.
