Yesterday I had a friend ask me the status of the blog, because apparently there is still at least one person out there who checks up on (I know, I'm shocked too!) -- I have her excuses like "I've been busy" and "I haven't been able to find the motivation to just sit and write" and I guess both are legit... but still, unnecessary.
I started this blog as a memoir of my pregnancy, and it grew into an account of my daughter's life, so you would think I would want to keep it up to date with all the pertinent information in connection to her development, right?
Man, that's harder than you think....
The busy part is legit - I'm back to working 4 days a week, Tuesday through Friday. Mondays I am home with Sam, and it's not as relaxing and chill as it used to be anymore. At nights, by the time she falls asleep, I'm pretty much ready for bed myself, and then the weekends are jam-packed with the stuff we didn't get done over the week itself, PLUS we're into the summer months, so it seems like there's always something else going on outside or elsewhere.
I know... excuses, excuses, excuses...
I confess, it's not like I'm not logging on to Blogger. I do keep my cheatsheets in unpublished posts about topics I really do want to write about. And believe you me, this list is getting long. I think at this point I have 7 unpublished entries waiting on pics and further details... so it's not like there isn't plenty to talk about either.
A part of it, too, is I think I feel intimidated? I browse over other moms and moms-to-be's blogs and mine just feels so insignificant. There's no rhyme or reason to it, I don't keep up with a theme or a pattern, and hell I'm using a pre-made blogger template... booooooring!
But again... this is be being stupid and just trying to make excuses for my laziness.
So this is my promise to you, my loyal fanbase (I make with my fingers crossed behind my back) -- I will TRY to post more, and make more of an effort to update this blog. In my opinion, TRYING is just as good as DOING, so long as the effort is there, right? Right.

Yea, keeping up on the blogging is definitely hard. Personally, I publish posts early then go back and edit them later, adding those pages to a list of "updates". Easy to do particularly when you want to add pics and video. At least for me, it's taking the time to actually write that's the hard part.
