Avoiding may be a harsh word. I'm not going out of my way not to pontificate. I merely struggle to find anything compelling me to write it. I'll be honest, I like the comments. I like the feedback. I like knowing I'm not talking to myself all the time, because frankly, with two little kids and a grown man in the house sometimes it feels that way.
Yet frankly I've always written as a way to lighten my load. There are things that rattle around in my head, sometimes even in my soul, that beg to be released. This has been my outlet to do so. My lack of blog writing (and subsequently blog reading to a degree since they seem to happen in tandem for me. Write a little - read a little) has little to do with concerns that I have nothing 'good enough' to write. It has everything to do with having little demanding to be written.
Certainly I could fill the space with something for my beloved friends inside the computer. Do you really, however, want to read about the extreme glee and pride I experienced today because my feisty little two-year old went nearly 8 full hours in underwear before creating a puddle on my floor? That included multiple "fruitful" potty breaks. See, aren't you glad I shared?
I could share how I'm jealous of the adorable photos so many are capturing at apple orchards and pumpkin patches. Ok, granted, we got a few cute ones this weekend. However, I was really hoping to snag one of both kids looking "Christmas card perfect." Instead I got the following. Of course, I'm biased. I tend to think they're adorable any time they are not channeling demonic beings. This just wasn't that "we are having fun just standing together and smiling for you" type photo I was going for.

That really is a cute picture. I love the "concentrating" look they both have on their faces.
And as a mom who has just recently conquered potty training-congrats on the 8 hours!
I just came across your blog today, but I will be back! Don't worry about the blogging slump-we all go through them sometimes and then come back creative and "posty" again (don't you love that new word that I just made up!)
You always amaze me with the creativity of your posts.
Write what you want to write not what you think people might want to read, it's your blog at the end of the day :)
They are so very sweet, cute pic!
OMGoodness! Love the new page!!! I had to check a couple times to make sure I was in the right place! LOL!!!

I would love to hear all about conquering the potty training. I dread the day.
