I'm feeling a bit emotional today. Maybe it's the hormones settling back down, or being trapped in a home this week (just haven't made it outside at all, and it's been a great week to get outside!) but I'm just feeling like the outsider looking in.
Maybe it's because I don't have the time to go and read and comment on everyones blogs. I've got 5 kids, y'all. One is still a newborn. He sucks a lot of time away from me. And it's hard to type with one hand.
I try to comment back on people who comment on my blog. But I'm not perfect and miss some people.
I feel like I've pissed off some people I really look up to, and now they aren't coming by to mine anymore. Even though I comment on their blog all the time. It's like I'm the loser trying to get in with the cool kids, all over again. I HATE THIS FEELING!
I'm SO HAPPY that I picked up a few new followers! You guys make me smile! I LOVE all of my followers. And I follow everyone back. So I try and stop by your blog. Know that I'm reading it, I just might not be able to comment. Lame, I know. But I'm just can't always comment. Darn one handed typing. It hurts my hand now.
I just feel like all my blogs now are just link ups. But I just don't know what else to blog about right now. I'm not exciting. I barely leave my tiny apartment. Which means, we all have cabin fever. The kids drive me crazy. I have more bad days then good. I've had major headaches this week, so walking to the business park has been out of the question. And who wants to read me complaining about my kids? No one, right? Right!
So, my dear readers, what would you like to hear more from me about? Kids, family, weight loss, religion, parenting tips, cloth diapers and reviews, random ramblings that will get me into trouble? I've been reading more, now that I got a Kindle, so book reviews? What? I've already edited myself a few times writing this. I don't want to really let loose and piss even more people off. LOL! I'm good at that.
I'm at the point with this blog that I need to start doing more of my things and less of what others tell me I should do. I understand it's summer and people are busy. Either I'm reading into things, but I find it weird and hurtful that I will do these things, hoping to get great comments on my witty (ok, I think I'm witty) responses and don't get anything from a few people I'm hoping would comment (I do LOVE all the comments I get and y'all that do comment all the time, seriously, LOVE YOU GUYS) don't, but then I see them commenting on people that linked up after me. :( Which leads me to believe that they just don't like me. So I should stop trying so hard to become their bloggy friend commenting on theirs. Sounds high school, I know. But I've come to think that life is just one big high school. No body ever really grows up for that time.
I need to wrap this up. The aforementioned almost 2 month old has now woken up and is crying for more of mama's milk. PLEASE let me know what you would like to see me do more of. I'm tired of this rut of just doing link ups and nothing else. Tell me what you would like to read from me. Suggestions would be great!
Thanks for reading this not so fun post. Kudos to you! Now, go drink a Coke for me!

Girl don't worry about it. Just be you and those who appreciate and love you for who you are will still be there for the ride :)
Plus you have a NEWBORN....really I don't even know how you even make the time to blog...I sacrifice sleep to blog and I only have 3..
xoxoxo
I'm sorry you feel like you are in a rut. I think we all feel that way as moms, at times. Though I don't have 5 kids, so I can't relate that way.
I haven't been leaving very many comments lately because I've been using my phone to read blogs. The app I have doesn't let you leave comments and my iPhone hates blogger on safari. I rarely make it to the computer thanks to kids. Sigh.
I wish I had good suggestions on what to write. I just end up writing about my kids, which is probably only interesting to kids. I'm guessing you should write what is interesting to you and people will respond to your passion. That's my guess anyway.
Good luck!
I say write a little bit of everything. I personally like a smorgasbord of topics on a blog. And don't get too down on yourself when it comes to comments. All that really matters is if you're enjoying what you write. If you enjoy it, chances are other will too.
Book reviews would be great, and otherwise I just like reading WHATEVER you put on your blog!
Gosh I only have one kid and feel like I'm in a rut! Can't imagine 5! But you are doing great. Like someone else said, just let us know how life is going and blog about what you love. oh, and I wouldn't mind book reviews! It's always nice to hear of another good read! even though I don't comment all the time I do look at your blog frequently just to see how you and your cute fam are doing!
Oooo what have you been reading lately? Anything good, I am in the market for a book. I think it is totally understandable to get into a rut with link ups, sometimes I just can't come up with anything else to say either. Don't stress yourself out!
