Dear Blog

Dear Blog,

I just don't know where to begin.  I guess you've noticed the distance. And I really wish that I had a good reason for my absence. 

I could tell you that I've been kind of busy.  I mean, I did join a gym, and I've been going there 3 times a week.  You would be so proud of me! How many times have I complained to you about the pictures of me you've posted? I'm trying to do something about that, but unfortunately, it's taking time away from you.

I've also been working on a little home improvement.  No, not any major changes (you'd be one of the first to know).  Honestly just trying to do better at this "stay-at-home" mom thing.  Now that I have two free mornings a week, I feel like some housework is in order.  Unfortunately, tackling the ever-increasing mound of laundry is higher on my priority list than spending time with you.  You've got to believe me...I'd much rather be with you.  Mucho rather. 

And it's been kinda hard because of the time change.  Nighttime (i.e. after kids are in bed) has worked out as a great time for us to be together, but lately...I'm just too tired to meet you.  I wish you could join me on the comfy couch, in front of the warm fire....but sadly, the computer cord just won't reach that far. 

You might have heard that I've been spending time with others, but I promise that I haven't forgotten about you.  In fact, I really enjoy our visits.  I love being able to reminisce about my day, and share my favorite pictures with you.  Sometimes though, communicating with you can be a bit overwhelming.  And truthfully, the others are not quite as demanding as you can be.  I don't have to think as much with them...I can just sit back, read, & laugh.  I can communicate my thoughts quickly...without going through any long, drawn-out speeches.  I guess you could say I like instant gratification (or something like that).

I hope you don't take any of this personally.  It's not you...it's me.  And, I'd really like to try and make this work.  I can't promise you that things are going to change, but I really WANT them to. 

Please write back and let me know what you are thinking. 
Your friend (?),
