Here's why.
1. The children are getting older and I find it hard to write about them.
God knows there are a million and one things I could write about the kids, but they are getting older now and I really don't think this is the place to be putting it. So my posts ongoing will not be specifically related to any of the children. I'm not comfortable with it. It's just not right for me.
2. The blogging scene is changing rapidly and I don't fit in anywhere.
Mum bloggers are wonderful people. They are supportive. Lovely. Encouraging. But I felt like I never really fit in. I found myself trying to "keep up" with all the other bloggers in regards to how frequently they were posting. If all I did all week was cook dinner, watch Dr Phil (never happens) and ferry kids to and from school - there isn't going to be much to talk about. From now on when I want to post, I will. I will do my own thing. I may post weekly. Maybe monthly. Whatever goes, goes.
3. I've been busy re-inventing my life.
Since becoming sugar free, I've reworked the food we eat as a family from the ground up and it's taken a lot of time (and challenges along the way). It's kept me busy. Real busy. It's become my new passion. My friends and family think I've joined a cult. They have that worried look on their faces. But nevermind. I'm moving forward with it. I want to be around for the children and piss them off until as long as I can manage it.
So I've just been doing other stuff and thinking too much about stuff generally. Just the usual. I'm still here. If you'll have me.
So glad you're back - in whichever form you choose. Looking forward to the future posts!
ReplyDeleteSpeak of the devil, I was LITERALLY reading your blog about two hours ago thinking about you. I also occasionally feel the pressure of 'needing' to blog daily, which is just so shit if it's been a boring week and I feel as though I have nothing to say. Good on you for making this blog all about YOU. I'll be here, no matter how rarely or how often you post xx
ReplyDeleteTaryn, I generally lurk on your blog (discovered while going sugar free). I can relate about the blogging stuff. Sometimes I feel like I'm shouting to the world about stuff no one is interested in but me. Then I realise, the blog is mine and I can post whatever I like. So go ahead and do the same, I'll keep reading
ReplyDeleteI love reading whenever and whatever you post babe. You and the sugar free (along with Suger) keep niggling that I too have to change this. xx
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you here again :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading more about how you have been re-inventing your life, I think it sounds amazing!
