As a general rule, I’m an all-or-nothing sort of girl. I’ve mentioned before that I have a hard time living in the happy medium, and I think that’s one reason why I’m kind of shocked that I’ve actually stuck with blogging for a whole year – and that I’ve found a way to make it a part of my life without letting it take over my life.
Who knew?
I certainly have had my moments of pure obsession – moments where I could hardly break away from the computer long enough to go to the bathroom, moments where I sat down “just to check on the blog” and then finished what I was doing an hour or so later, realizing that Alex had watched not one, not two, but THREE shows in a row on Noggin, and in those moments I shook my head, chastised myself, and then found solace in the fact that at least Noggin doesn’t show commercials.
(You wanna go toe-to-toe with me in the Mother Of The Year competition? I think it’s pretty clear that I’ve got a lock on the title.)
But in the last six months or so, I think my blogging habits have leveled out a little bit. I’ve tried to find a middle ground.
And do you know what? It’s been good.
So in keeping with my realization that I don’t want to be so busy writing about my life that I forget to live it, I’m going to mark the one year anniversary of BooMama by taking a bit of a bloggy break. We’re moving in just a few days, and there are lots of things that I need to take care of here on the homefront. I’m sure y’all have realized that I lead a Terribly Glamorous Life, and as proof of that I am going to dedicate a couple of days to cleaning out our laundry room, packing up our basement and hauling boxes to the new place.
Be sure to look for coverage in next week’s People magazine!
Now I believe that it’s in the Blog Bylaws that you have to list some of your most memorable posts after a year of blogging (and by “Blog Bylaws,” what I really mean is “Shannon said it”). So here’s a little something to keep you busy while I’m gone:
- If It Weren’t My Life, I Wouldn’t Believe It, Either
- Throwing All Grocery-Esque Caution To The Wind
- What A Lovely Observation From A Stranger
- Proof That Skinny Isn’t Always A Good Thing
- I Shoot, I Score
- The Unexpected
- I’m Posting This, Running From The Computer, And Never Looking Back
- Idle Thoughts On A No-Idol Tuesday
- How’d They Get So Smart?
- Mama And The Fish Camp (It’s old, I know. But I have to include it. I just have to.)
Thanks, y’all, for everything.
It’s been a mighty good year.
And I’m more grateful than I can say.
See you in a few days.
