So this blogging thing...
I've been thinking about quitting. I've been thinking about this for months. I have been blogging for 5 years, 2 months, and 27 days. (But who's counting?) And I know this really sucks for those of you who just found me and then also for those who keep up with me this way. But I just kinda don't want to do it anymore.
There are lots of little reasons, half I can talk about, half I don't want to talk about. The big one may be the lack of good blogging material from the kids, the main point of this site. The kids aren't in that cute "OMG my two year old just said the funniest thing!" stage anymore. It's more like pre-teen whining and "Mom, we're out of granola bars!" Plus there's the whole privacy thing as they get older. No teenager wants their mom bragging or complaining about them on the internet.
I also don't feel like writing about sewing or exercise or knitting or cooking or housekeeping or running errands or the other random stuff that takes up the majority of my non-kid hours.
While I have lots of opinions on the meaning of life, love, and happiness (and politics and philosophy and religion), I don't want to share them in this public format. One I'm a wuss and don't want to deal with the trolls that those type of subjects attract. And two I'm a bit wishy washy (Libra!) and change my mind sometimes. And contradicting myself on the internet is a lot crappier than just doing it in my mind.
So...
I'm not sure where this leaves me. It's not like I want to leave the internet behind forever, I just don't feel like continuing here. What's the latest and greatest the web has to offer? Twitter? Facebook? Flickr? (Although I kinda suck at photography.) What am I missing? Or if you've gone through blogging malaise, what's the cure? Subject format change? New template? Or is this just The End?
