Blogging

I'm stinking at it.

I know.

Do you guys remember a time when I used to keep this thing up...

posting multiple times a week??

No?

anyone??

Oh, none of you are reading anymore huh.?

It's okay. I wouldn't either.

(thanks for still reading though mom:))

I've lost my spark. I've lost my zest. I've lost the blogging enthusiasm.

I just don't ever feel like sitting at the computer and documenting life anymore,

because let's face it....blogging takes soooo much time.

Time that could be spent doing other things like actually living more of the moments instead of trying so hard to capture them.

I convinced myself that was the real reason I was letting my blog go by the wayside.

*inside my head...careful...it's a scary place*

I want to just spend time playing with my family not sitting in front of the computer.

I don't want my kids growing up with a camera in front of their face.

I don't want to waste another second frustrated that Sonny didn't reach for the camera and capture 

gigi and me playing ring around the rosies...cause dang it, it was darling!

(he is a pose only kind of guy)

So with all that in mind, I was slowly giving it up.

Taking way less pictures, not writing nearly as much, letting gigi's new word-isms,

lulu's first field trip, and the rockstar's baseball games (so good btw) go by the wayside.

And I was fine with it.

Afterall, my parents didn't document every second of my life and I turned out okay. (my opinion:))

BUT then the other morning, my theory was shaken.

I heard soft voices and giggling taking place in the other room while I was making my bed

(totally wasn't making my bed...just wanted you guys to be impressed)

I walked around the corner and found this....

My 2 girlies looking thru one of our 5 blog books.

They were laughing and pointing

and remembering.

Remembering lots of memories that would probably have been forgotten had I not sat at the computer

hour upon hour writing, posting, and putting them in a book to sit in our family room available for 

their little hands to reach up and thumb thru their lovely life.

It revived me.

I grabbed my camera and snapped a pic.

It touched my heart and I realized,

I want to keep this up.

I want to post as much as I can,

because I want to remember it all.

I will continue to leave my camera at home from time to time and I definitely will choose

playtime over computer time,

but I am back in the game.

I'm blogging. 

So keep reading mom :)
