What should I do?

I am so over this old blog. I want a fresh start. Here's my dilemma. Should I just try and improve on this one, or should I totally start anew - new blog, new everything? I am torn...I am going to resolve to *try* and do better with posting. So many of you post every day, or several times a day, or at least bi-weekly. But I have to remember that I can't post from my job, I can't leave my job at work - I bring it home EVERY NIGHT and have tons of work to do nightly, I have 3 terrific boys and a good hubby who are all full time jobs, I cook, read to and with my boys, wash clothes, iron 4 shirts or outfits daily, pack snacks and lunches for 4, try to check email, walk, read my Bible, etc. You get it. We're all busy. I'm super busy. So what should I do?

We had a great Christmas. The boys got tons of awesome stuff. We've been playing and reading up a storm. Pics and stories to come. First things first - what should I do about the blog? Drastically overhaul it, or start a new one?

Drastically overhaul...that's my vote!

Well...if you had a site stat counter like your mom and I do, you'd see that I visit quite regularly. Also, we DO have a pic on Amanda's camera of the U-Haul. How could we NOT take a pic of that?

If you look at my blog at the one's I follow, they range from a post 5 hours ago to a post two months ago. I try to post daily, but it seams to (Mostly) work for me. You just have to find your rythem... You don't have to post daily. You may need to have a goal of weekly. Most of all don't stress over it, this is supposed to be for enjoyment.
Keep it up, I enjoy reading your thoughts.
Oh have you heard the song beautiful mess? Here are the lyrics, your blog reminds me of them... (that's a compliment)
Love ya
D

I'm the one with two left feet
Standing on a lonely street
I can't even walk a straight line

And every time you look at me
I'm spinning like an autumn leaf
Bound to hit bottom sometime

Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won't let me fall

[Chorus]
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open all I know is
Every day is filled with hope
'cause you are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe you in, and breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

I'm the one with big mistakes
Big regrets and bigger breaks
Than I'd ever care to admit

But you're the one who looks at me
And sees what I was meant to be
More than just a beautiful mess

Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won't let me fall

[Chorus]
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open all I know is
Every day is filled with hope
'cause you are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe you in, and breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

[Bridge]
You're everything good in my life
Everything honest and true
And all of those stars hanging up in the sky
Could never shine brighter than you

[Chorus]
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open all I know is
Every day is filled with hope
'cause you are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe you in, and breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

You don't have to start over, just overhaul. And you don't have to post daily, only when you want to. Although we love reading your posts as often as you post them, it would be awful for you to stress about it. As busy as I am, I love posting daily. It helps me decompress and remember all the best details of the day. Sometimes when I find myself with a little free time and I'm not inclined to take a nap, I'll "prepost" for a few days which takes the pressure off. Anything I can do to help the makeover... let me know :).

overhaul. a blog is your thoughts. no matter how sparatic or eratic they are.

Nana said...

Overhaul gets my vote too! Good grief girl, with all you have going on I'm surprised you even remember you have a blog :)

I love reading your thoughts when you post, but please don't stress about it when you don't... we'll still be here the next time you get a minute!!

xoxo

You should overhaul. I am deff. tired of my blog too, so I need to do the same. I don't have the kids and hubby, but sometimes, I feel just as busy as you! I feel like I am horrible at the blogging thing too because I neglect to do so often, but I agree with Kirsten!

Nadia said...

DITTO! Don't "START OVER".. just keep going, improving what you've got. That's life... hey, that's a blog in itself. LOL!! :) Besides, all the old posts will be archived under 08... just snazz it up with a new background or whatever and keep going!

Matt said...

You should get an iPhone so you can post from it.
