In the beginning it was all so new. So exciting. I couldn't get enough. I had to look at it everytime I walked in the room. I thought about it all the time. I even had quite a few late night and early morning rendezvous.
Like any new relationship, the newness fades and you are left with just 'it'. No more mystery or excitment over what it could be, or will be. 'It' is just 'it'. Then the struggle is moving forward and trying to make 'it' exciting. Never as exciting as 'it' was. Just as exciting as 'it' can be now that the thrill is gone.
This is my struggle with my blog. The newness is gone. Will I ever be as good as I was when it was all new to me? Do we have to break up? Do I need to find a new blog? Or should I just commit to this one? That's what we do, right? We commit. We make it better. When we have all of that history (I think I have something like 95 posts) we don't just throw it out the window, right? We start 'faking it till we feel it', right? Some times are going to be better than others. And that's okay. Because when we do get that one post that takes us back to that feeling, it's worth it, right? So what if the rest of the posts are about toilets and kids in the sand. It's the posts that make you remember why you did it in the first place that keep you in it.

I don't know what to say, I didn't realize you were having problems. What about the kids..? Think about the kids.
I think that everyone has spring fever and that there is just so many other fun things to do outside. But I know the feelings well. I somehow feel like I've got my bloggin feelings hurt or somthing stupid like that.
But I've had to remember that we are all so busy and lead different lives and I have to keep going for the few that visit me often and for you and myself and if I keep going I'll run into some of my old bloggin friends when they get back from their crazy affairs with life.
So for myself I'll just blog on and keep missing them until they come back and check on me. Did that just turn into to all about my blog??? Oh well, I was feeling your pain.
I've been MIA as of late and I feel ya!! But don't give up. I think it is just hard during the summer because you do want to go outside and go do things and in the winter you are home a lot more. I know I've been busy!! But I am back as of today. It might not be every single day, but it will be at least three or four times a week. I say, just do what you can do, but don't give up!!!
Yeah, I know what you mean... I'm feeling a bit disolutioned, myself, today. Hang it there, It'd be a shame to lose you. :).
Totally agree...it really must be spring or something. I find it comes and goes too, so just do when you want to and don't feel pressured to post every single day. I would totally miss you too!
Don't go! Maybe it's a version of writer's block? Just decide to blog when you have something to share and inspiration will return!
I know what you're feeling. It's important not to turn it into a chore. Also, I don't want to turn everything I do into a post.
But I'm sticking with it, because I love the great writing on other people's sites and I find that inspiring. Your site is one of them! So I'm glad you are sticking with 4 eva.
I laugh every time I read your blog - first of all because you're funny and second, have you read my blog?!!! That's all it is, is toilets and kids in the sand!
You definitely have more vested in your blog... you actually have followers and something of worth for the general public. My posts are usually only something grandparents could like, but I do it to journal as well.
Don't get discouraged... remember it's just a blog! Put away the computer and run through the sprinklers!
I don't know what I would do if I couldn't write anymore. I think the key, to be honest with you, is to write for yourself. Once you begin blogging thinking about what others will think it becomes a chore, a requirement...write from the heart, the rest is gravy.
It comes and goes like any great thing...I enjoy it enough to stick with it, but I'm not like I use to be...but, that doesn't make me a bad blogger and it doesn't mean the blog isn't great, it just means that our relationship is growing and entering new phases...and that is just fine. But for the record, you're a fun blog to read!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! DON'T GO!!! think of the children! do something spesh for the 100 - bring back the magic baby!!! we would all miss you :(
I know what you mean.......You need to give me a call so we can talk about putting the girls in DANCE!
