I don't know what it is. . . I haven't been feelin' the blogging thing lately. Maybe I need a hiatus. Maybe I need to do some exciting things in my life so I have something to write about. I have a lot of things on my heart to write about but they are so close to the surface that I am afraid to put them in writing at them moment. They need to simmer a little more. :)
I don't have any cute pictures to post and I can't get the video thing to work so all I have left to do is write and it ain't comin'. At least not today. . .

I do know how you feel. I go through periods when everything I write is an effort and seems fake to me, just going through the motions. Other times, the ideas and words flow like water, I can't keep up.
A hiatus might be just what you need.
I have some other ideas for you too:
Maybe give yourself a break, don't blog everyday, maybe 4 or 5 days a week.

Okay, I'm not done yet. I don't think you need to go do fun things so you have stuff to blog about. I personally like it when you write about your day-to-day life. I love to hear about homeschooling. I like to hear what your day is like. I love to hear what EG's up to. I like to hear stories about all your kids and how they interact. I would like to hear more about all of that.
Well, enough of this book. I hope your schwerve or your mojo or the feelin' you need comes back soon.
Visiting your blog everyday makes me happy :)
You are such a wonderful friend. I was just on the phone with my mom and she said "You need to read Katie's comments." Thank you for your kind and inspiring and understanding words. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I do tend to use my blog for my pulpit but I can't get anyone else to listen to my rantings!!!
I have some ideas too, Ann...and mostly bc I want you to keep blogging every day - I am addicted! :) How about a blog about everything you claimed you would never do before you became a parent but you do now out of necessity with 4 kids? I wanna know you are not the super-human mom I think you are! (I have an inferiority complex) :) Actually, that is an idea I have been thinking about for my own blog...I call it "How I was the Best Mother Ever BEFORE I had a kid!" Also, what about sharing your children's typical daily diet? I need new ideas for Taylor bc right now he thinks he can live on donuts alone! :) You are the best!!
I agree with your Mom - listen to Katie!! LOL And I totally agree with letting the blog thing go a day or two or three. Just post when you want to! Otherwise it becomes a chore and who needs more chores!?
But I love checking in to see what's up in your world - even though I don't do always do it every day. Your adoring fans don't want you to quit! But we certainly understand if you cut back to 2-3 times a week or whatever.
And now I shall catch up on your previous posts I've missed!
Hang in there!

Thanks to all of you!! We will see how it goes. I might just keep it real simple for the next couple days. No brain power :) I am afraid if I don't do it every day I will stop.
Well you can also just post pictures. We all love those!
Silent Sunday
Mute Monday
Taciturn Tuesday
Wordless Wednesday
A Thousand Words Thursday (like a picture is worth)
Can't think of one for Friday.
Shhhhhhhhh Saturday
