Have A Great Rest of Your Day

I’m so sick of blogger I could scream. It keeps messing my template up and at one point today, I had nothing but gobbly gook that you couldn’t even read, with NO template.

I’ve had it. I’m moving somewhere else. I’ve been thinking about wordpress. Anyone out there using it that likes it? Is it better to use their free one, or do I need to get my own domain. Help please, I’ve had it with all the blogger crap!

Thanks!!

Once Kathryn started walking she really took off and she’s getting FASTER. I thought I couldn’t keep up before, what am I going to do now.

On another note: Jerry Rice has signed a one day contract with the San Francisco 49ers so that he can retire with the team that he started with.

No one probably cares about this more than my husband, who had to call and make sure I knew. For a moment there I thought he was going to shed tears of joy. His “boy” is coming back to his team, where he belongs. (like I really friggin care!)

I had this great post all written about this being my 200th post and how much my writing has changed and all the things I like and dislike about blogging. Then I deleted it all, because it comes down to one thing for me.

My blog is an outlet for my writing and thoughts. It’s not about the number of people that visit. It’s not about the number of comments I get. It’s not about what people think of my template or life. It’s about me and what I need my blog to be used for. I’ve ranted, I’ve exclaimed, I’ve shouted for joy, I’ve cried. Sometimes separately, sometimes all at once.

It’s great to get traffic, comments and returning visitors. For several months I was stressed and concerned that I wasn’t getting any visitors. One morning I woke up and thought “what happened to the fun?” It was gone. I thought about how great it had felt to have a place to come, a place of my own. I decided that if I was going to keep this up, it had to be fun, it had to be relaxing. As soon as I made this my resolution, I got visitors, I got comments, and I got traffic.

I’m a terrible landlord. My “new” renter only has 3 days and 11 hours left here and I haven’t even done an introduction for her yet.

Go check out Land of Two, Under Two. I can not even imagine having children that close together. For her it is working out great. Go see her bad habits and find out how much she misses her daughter who is staying with the in-laws.

I want lots of clicks, so I can show her how wonderful I truly am. You guys already know that though!! Don’t you? guys………….hello?……..okay, I’m just going to get back to work then.

So Kathryn is walking and I’m very excited and sad all at the same time. It’s fun she is doing something new, but it means she is growing up. Don’t get me wrong progression is a good thing, but does it have to happen so quickly?

Tonight when I picked her up from daycare she started screaming. Not just a little whine either, I mean really screaming. She wanted to stay with Ms. A, not come home with her mommy. In a way it was kind of funny, but not when there are all these other parents there looking at me with these disapproving, glaring looks. I just know they were all wondering what I do to her when we’re at home. Geez people, I don’t beat her!

I had to wrestle her away from Ms. A. who felt awful, but at least I know she is happy there. She must be if she doesn’t want to come home with the person that brought her into this world.

Oh, and she was sitting in her car seat picking her nose on the way home. Great, just great!

I’m sad to say that no one guessed correctly THE day that Kathryn would walk. However some of you were close. We’ll be having another contest soon, so don’t forget to play.

The guesses are as follows:
Trish July 31st
CyberCelt July 31st
