I think it can pretty much be said without hesitation that I stink at keeping up with a blog. Further more I must apologize to the kind dedicated readers of mine who have sent messages inquiring where I have disappeared to. My only rather sad excuse is that I am currently buried under piles of homework, laundry, dishes and diapers. So, here I am posting now because I have a link to my blog in my signature and removing it to let Party of Five die completely made me sad. My Thursday Thirteen could therefore be dedicated to none other than the 13 ways I intend to redeem myself and beckon back my wonderful readers and blog buddies.

1. I promise to dedicate myself to at least two posts per week.2. Even if I am too distracted to write my own post I commit to reading and commenting on at least two other blogs.

3. Instead of attempting to make every entry perfect and pristine, I will post blurbs sometimes to let my readers know I haven’t dropped out of the blogosphere.

4. I will stop worrying so much about what others think of my thoughts in print, after all, isn’t that the point of having my own blog?

5. If my kids, school, work, or marriage are the only hot topics on hand, then so be it…they shall appear with in these pages.

6. When hubby steals the fun family events for blogging I will post them anyways for those who do not frequent his sight.

7. When my river of thoughts runs dry I shall beg others to guestblog if they feel so inclined.

8. If I get requests (other than from hubby) to update the look of my blog I will indeed look into it.

9. I will cut at least thirty minutes of literati out of my limited schedule just for blogging.

10. I shall seek out a dark secluded place in my house to write undistracted (even if I have to hang out in the closet).

11. Even if I don’t have a bright, bubbly, exciting, or fun subject, I will blog the bummer events sometimes too. (It can always be sunshine and summertime right?)

12. If I know hubby is planning on blogging my best material, I will either stake claim to it first or race him to the finish line.

13. I shall not disappear again without warning
