Thursday Thirteen: Working my way back
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

Great post!
Blogging is hard work if you want to do it right. I hear you. Have a great TT and good luck.
Do it Girl! Short blurbs are ok. Just keep looking in the mirror and repeating that.
Relax. This should be fun and a stress relief. You’re a cool gal and I look forward to reading more.
Remember, just blog for yourself. Don’t worry about quotas, or about what people might think.
Merry Christmas
Blogging is supposed to be fun. I second what Nicholas said.
Good luck!
My TT is about the solstice this week.
Great to read this post! A loy of thought went into this list I can tell. I especially like #3. My blog has pretty much become 100# blurbs!
Yeah! You’re back!! Blogging is kind of a habit forming thing, I think. When I first started, I was worried that I didn’t really have anything interesting to say. Now it’s the opposite. The littlest thing will happen and I find myself thinking “I can turn this into a blog entry!”
And don’t worry about Damien stealing your posting ideas…even if you write about the same thing, it will be your side of the story!!!
SO glad you’re back!
Jessica
Six and eight cracked me up! We know Damien would have you changing your blog every 5 minutes just so he could “help” you. As for writing about the same events, I want to hear your side, too!
Just be you, Sarah, happy and pensive, none of us are 100 percent perky.
Thanks everyone for stopping by,
Nicolas & Linda: I absolutely agree that it shouldn’t be stressful blogging which is why I disappeared for awhile
Jessica: Another reason I had to get back over here is because there are too many things happening that I keep thinking would make good blogs, then I catch myself realizing I stopped posting. Thanks for the warm welcome back.
Marcia: It is killing Damien that I have stuck with the same theme for so long. I can’t help it if I like it so much. If I start changing too much I will never be happy like a certain funny farm member I know, lol.
Loved it! I agree, don’t let your husband post all the good stuff.
