A Lesson In Time

I have a confession to make.  One that has taken me about three months to realize.  A decision that I was proud to make, but still kind of hurts to admit.

In June I had a website designed.  I was so excited about it.  I was going to take on the blogging world and conquer it.  I was going to be the next Pioneer Woman.  A Little Miss Momma.  Or maybe even BooMama herself.  I collaborated with a gal that designed a beautiful page for me and worked hard for about three months to get it all set up.

But then I had a realization.  I had too much on my plate.  Listen, it's not like I'm being pulled from a hundred different ways or anything.  But for what I, personally, am able to and am willing to handle it became too much.

So on my way home from school the other day I had an epiphany.  I don't have to do this website.  I don't have to get myself into it if I don't want to.

And it's not so much that I don't want to.  You see, I was going to post recipes and blog about my life as a Mom, a wife, a teacher.  I was going to be witty and humorous and make you all want to visit daily.  It's something that I still want to do.  Truly, I do.

But now is not the time.

There's a lot going on in my life.  And while it might not seem like a lot to most, it's a lot to me.  I have a little boy to raise.  I have a family to think about.  I have a job that I love and I want to dedicate time to. 

And that's why I've decided to put my blog dreams on hold.

And this is where the good news comes in.

I'm staying right here.  I love doing this blog.  I love the encouragement that I get from all of you about doing it.  I love hearing how it made you smile or that I wrote something that you related to.  And lately, even though it might sound crazy, I've loved hearing you complain because I haven't updated.  Because to me, that means that you're coming to visit.  It means that you enjoy reading what I write.  And that makes me smile.

So the other website, well it will still be there a few years from now.  Or maybe I'll get the itch again and I'll do it next year.  Who knows what the future holds?  But for now, I'm content being right here, with you all, writing about my not so mundane life.

And I've got so much to catch you all up on!  And I can't wait to tell you all about it.

Did I mention that Cooper is one today?
