Hiding in a Crowd

Wow, it's been a while since I've stared at a blank page and thought of how to fill it! I've not even been reading too many blogs. I pop on here occasionally to check for comments and I may check in on favorite blogs here or there though.

I do Facebook but I've come to a conclusion. I think blogging to facebooking is as reading books is to watching television. Or at the least, reading classics is to reading People magazine. ;)

It's not that there is anything wrong with it. It's fantastic for finding old friends and just keeping up with people. Some folks think it's good for nothing but gossip. I guess that could be true for some. I enjoy seeing the statuses and staying in touch with friends. I'm horrible with making phone calls and even emails. When I think back to junior high and how I would stay on the phone for hours I have to laugh because that is so not me now! Who has time? Facebook is easier somehow. Write on someone's wall, comment on their status or picture, even talk on chat without them overhearing your barking dog or the toddler "singing" and rocking out on his guitar like his big brother....er, well, I don't guess everyone has that in the background!

But it also allows you to hide away. Facebook lets you cast out a quick status and be done with it. Or no status at all! Blogging demands a bit more thought. Well, at least the way I blog. I just try to be me and have a conversation...sometimes crossing into rambling. :) By the way, am I the only one who hates those blogs that put up like one line or a picture or something and they get like 96 comments? Anyway...;)

I've just noticed that blogging makes you look a little deeper, think a little harder, share a little more of yourself...yet you can also remain somewhat anonymous. Hmmm, come to think of it, Facebook is the opposite...it's not anonymous at all, yet you don't really have to share very much of yourself, the real you.

I haven't been doing too much of that. But maybe time will allow me to start again. I appreciate those of you that have stuck around and continued to check for updates. :)

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...
