I was aiming for once a week or A Post of Penance
And now here it is almost two weeks later. Sheesh. This is just a boring post to say that the way I operate blog-wise needs a-changing. I am under several time-crunch-deadlines and so my presence on your blogs and mine will be sporadic. I will try (TRY!) for once a week.
Another change that I regret is that I can no longer find the time to respond to your comments - I love them and thank you for making them, but not enough hours in the day and the having to respond individually becomes another albatross.
And finally - NO MORE SWAPS - no, nada, nicht. For the foreseeable future I am absenting myself from the wonderful world of swaps. The pressure, the production, the post office, all add up to additional commitments and I am so behind on so many things. Photos to come and if I say giveaway, will I completely lack all credibility?

Well, I'm going to miss your presence but you have to make blogging work for you. I look forward to seeing you whenever you're able x.

I'll take you whenever and however I can get you! When blogging gets to be a chore, blogging gets bad. We'll see you when we see you. And we'll be happy campers then.

i understand all of this. blogging can become part of the problem sometimes. when that happens it is time to take a step back. that is what i did this summer and i am feeling much better about all of it now. ready to come back. do what you have to do, we will be here.

I like a lot of blogs that have very irregular posts.
It can be a lot to even get a post a week together and I have a ton fewer kiddos than you do.

I completely understand those feelings - and when I post it is always without expectation of a reply
I can only hope that people who comment on my blog are the same as I often get snowed under and don't reply although I always read and enjoy comments, and usually intend to reply.
I'll just look forward to posts when posts happen and thank you for helping keep my bloglines reading under control *chuckle*

You? Lack cred? Absolutely not! We all do what we can, my dear. I'm not feeling up to much this week. Or last week either, for that matter.

Sonya, good for you for giving up on the pressure of almost daily blogging if it no longer gives you a lot of pleasure! PS The green monster continues to get rave review.

well, sistah...seems we are keeping the same pace these days. i find it easier on ME to read less frequent posts (the ten posts a week blogs tend to stress me out)...as for not replying to comments...well, honey, i can see why you have to end that. each your of replies is as creative as your comments and must be exhaustive for you to write!! you are loved any way you come to us!! xx
