Blog slacker

I feel like it's been awhile since I blogged. Well, in reality it has really only been a few days. But if you lived inside my head and saw all the "stuff" that is floating around in there that I want to blog about you would understand why I feel like I've slacked on blogging. I always have something to write about. Writing is my escape. I've found blogging to be a new obsession I have. I have ALWAYS loved to write. I wrote in journals since I could write. I found it a way to escape and just a way to put my thoughts together. I am also not a person who probably appears to have lots to say. I usually keep pretty quiet. But I enjoy getting my opinions out there just not actually saying them outloud. So I have become a GREAT fan of blogging. Not only writing my own blog posts but also reading blogs by other random people. I have found SO many great blogs. I realized there are LOTS of people out there just like me who enjoy writing about the same things I like to write and read about. Most of the topics of interest to me have been parenting (of course--that is basically my WHOLE life), homeschooling, photography, etc. A good friend of mine wrote a post that got me thinking. Click here is to view the post. I wonder who even reads my posts. I know I only have a small amount of those who are following my blog. I don't really care if I have a huge amount of readers. Or do I?? I mean, I take the time to post and I write as if others are reading it. I often wonder if I'm talking to myself. That's OKAY if I am just writing for myself. I mostly write for me as a way to remember my life, to get these thoughts out of my brain. It's relaxing and it's also a way for me to have something to look back on. Something that explains what I was thinking, doing, or seeing that day. But at the same time, it's nice to see comments. To see that others are reading and have something to say. Just like a conversation. It would be pretty boring if you stood in a room full of people and said something and everyone just stood there, staring without making one single comment. I am not writing this to beg for comments at all. I don't mind writing for myself. I was just curious who actually reads my blog. I have this blog set up on my notes in Facebook so I'm guessing my "friends" on facebook read them. Okay, this was NOT at all where this blog was going. I was just going to post some pictures and this is where it lead to! Funny how that works. So if you are a random person that is reading my blog...PLEASE comment just so I know you exist!
