One Year Anniversary

I past the one year mark for my blog. I just realized it the other day when I thought that I should really post something because it had been a while. God!, a whole year.

I don’t even remember why I originally started to blog, it just sort of happened. My first few months were a lot like everyone else. You post like crazy for a period of time, use up all your “Grade A” stuff then abruptly stop for a while because, well, you used up all your “Grade A” stuff. Then you reflect and wonder if you have what it takes to keep going.

At that point I got scared because I really questioned whether or not I could keep going. I started looking at my kids and thinking to myself, “What’s the matter with you guys? Why aren’t you doing anything cute so that I can write.”

A lot of other blogs I frequent started going commercial and posting reviews about products and doing other things to spread out their content. I realized I didn’t want to do that. It just wasn’t what I wanted my blog to be. That, and nobody ever asked me to review anything.  So I can be high and mighty about it. Let’s just see what happens if I ever get approached to review something.

I don’t really care if people review stuff on their blogs. You gotta do what you gotta do. It’s just that so many bloggers are really good writers and I like reading their stuff.

Then there is also the reality that continuous blogging can be a really huge time sucker. Add to that, Twitter, and all of those stupid Facebook apps and games and you really eat up the time.  (What the hell is it about Farmville anyway?)

So, I’m still blogging. My numbers are a lot higher than I ever thought they would be. People keep coming back to read so I guess I don’t stink at it. I guess I’ll keep going.

I just wish my kids were doing more cute stuff.
