Yup! I almost clicked the delete button and shut this whole blog down and Blogger taking a vaca gave me time to think about it but also made me wonder if it was a sign lol. I don't like to do anything half-assed and that's exactly what this whole blogging experience is becoming and I DO NOT like it! With balancing this crazy job, maintaining my home & family, and trying to get active in the community again I was just too tired to do more than stalk my usual blogs let alone put up a post of my own.
I've done some pretty fun things recently but missed more than a few other great events because I had to work and for this my blog and networking have suffered but like the Mr said, "This too shall pass" I got into blogging to have fun so when the crazy dies down I can get back to the fun part.
Thank you to those who still check in with me and connect on
Twitter I'll be back soon with a better blog, PROMISE!

Take your time girl! I'm learning that blogging is a labor of love. It is extremely time consuming! I'll continue to check for you!
Yes, blogging can take up a lot of time! Take this much needed time to take care of that sweet family of yours! I completely understand!
Thank you guys!! It really means a lot I don't want this to be a wishy washy blog so I'm taking my time to rebuild.
Hey lady! I know you are busy! I am glad you did not delete your blog! I enjoy reading it!!! I hope everything is going great for you and your family!!!
The blog is always here for you. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. It's supposed to be a fun outlet!
Hang in there! My blog is set up for my photography and i still don't get time to use it.. With getting the sessions done, processing the images and trying to balance my mommy duties, i don't even get time to post.. most clients get to see all their images when the gallery is up instead of having sneak peeks.. sometimes i feel as if i'll let them down but thankfully they're all moms and understands..
Don't beat your self up and don't delete it... Post when you can, no one will penalize you for it :D
Hang in there girl!! I think we have ALL being there. I went through the same thing last month. I posted only 3 posts in the whole month of April and I almost just said " forget it", but I didn't and I'm working on it.. doing much better this month. Shit happens! Life happens! Don't give up and for the love of God, don't delete it!!

Girl..Take your time. We will be here. I took a mini hiatus too. I think your blog circle is loyal and will be here when you return!
We all deserve and need a blogging break every now and then.
We'll still be here for you, promise! Seriously, blogging takes work. SO much work. We all do the best we can, but it's like a second job if you ask me. Your true supporters will understand and be happy to hear from you whenever you do check in. (I'm one of them, of course!) Wink, wink!
So glad you didn't click that button! Blogging takes up a lot of your time if you let it, but always remember why you started blogging in the first place. Once you don't loose site of that, you'll be fine. xoxo
I totally understand! Take a break, you deserve it. We'll still be here, waiting patiently for your next post.
Oh no you don't! You'd better not go anywhere! Seriously! I think we all feel that way sometimes. I know I do but don't you click that button...unless its the login button. Write when you can. I need to take that advice myself. I feel so guilty when I can't update my reader or the inspiration for a post just isn't there. Don't worry...it'll pick back up and we'll be waiting for ya!
I actually took a month long break from blogging last summer because I was experiencing just what you are describing...it was just what I needed. Give yourself the break that you need and it's so true...it will pass!
Blogging is exhausting, but I think that you'll love having the chronicle of our lives years later. I have taken breaks here and there, but it always calls me back! Following you, please follow me to at: http://chatonsworld.blogspot.com.
Don't delete. i just found you. And noone says you have to blog every day or every week or damn it...every month. It is supposed to be organic. Do it when you feel you can and that is what makes it compelling to read. Hope all is well. Thanks for visiting MY little blog which also suffers a hell of a lot sometimes. It's called having a life. Enjoy it, girlie!
Girl, I've been there... (actually did hit the delete button but thankfully I saved a template on my hard drive and was able to recover old posts)
Everyone blogs for different reasons and there's nothing wrong with saying, "this is too much" or "I need a break" when it becomes overwhelming or time consuming.
Good Luck w/ whatever you decide to do!
i will be looking forward to it.
I found your blog through Pinterest. I'm looking forward to your new blog. You should get back into it. It's never too late to get started again. Take it from a Mom of 5 who homeschools all of them that started my blog in 06. I tried to give it a real "go" about a year and some ago and got burned out. It just wasn't my time. Now that's past and my kids are older am back at it with a vengeance lol. I've learned the hard way about losing site of it being FUN. That's my focus and what comes along side that is just juicy gravy :-)
I noticed you're reading Sugar, how is it? It's on my "to-read-list".
