- My most recent post was an entirely too personal rant that I probably should not have posted. I know that several people close to me do read this blog, and I worry that they might think I'm going crazy if I continue with the emotional verbal diarrhea.
- I'm not sure exactly who reads it. I know a few friends do and the occasional passerby does, but I'm not sure what level of readership I have.
- I'm not sure what the world is getting out of it. Yes, in many ways, this blog is like an online diary for me, but I also intend for it to be informative and helpful for others. I'm not sure if I am accomplishing both.
- I'm not sure what I am getting out of it. Like I said, I'm ranting online. This cannot be a good thing. So far, I've made 37 cents off of this blog. I'd love to make more...
But there are pros:
- I get to share my life with others and it's a great way to keep friends and family posted on what is going on in my life.
- It helps me digest things that are happening, especially with Nathanial and his arm situation.
- I'm writing. It may only be for fifteen minutes every five to seven days, but still, I am writing. And that to me is huge.
- I do get comments from people, and the feedback makes it so worth it.
- I have made 37 cents!
What would I love to get out of this blog? I would like to feel like a writer. I would like to feel like I'm sharing my experiences and helping others while releasing some of my own tensions and demons. I would love to create a community of men and women that comment on the blog and on each others comments. And yes, I want to make some money off of this blog. I'm not going to lie about that fact. Who doesn't want their passion and their work to be one and the same?
As you may remember, I had a strong desire to post 100 entries by January 1st, 2009. It doesn't appear that I am going to meet that goal, but I'm not going to stress. Having written this blog, and sifting through a few of the pros and cons, I am going to continue and re-evaluate once I hit that 100 post mark. In the next couple of days, I plan on blogging about New Year's resolutions, what I've learned in the past year about myself, my husband and my sweet baby, Nathanial, and whatever pops into my head.
Be thinking. Be thinking about what you would like to read about. Fill me in. Let me know. Comment. Respond. A writer is nothing without a reader. Help me out a bit. K? K.

Take a deep breath! Its all part of the plan~ Being a mother is hard, alot harder than anyone probably every told you! Remember the horror stories I told you about giving birth and everyone told me to shut up becuase you wouldnt have kids?
