Confession time.
I haven't read any blogs, nor barely blogged myself, for weeks.
Pregnancy blogs make me yearn for it. Parenting blogs make me compare. Food blogs aren't my thing usually. Decorating blogs, like my wonderful friend Laurel's blog, makes me feel like I haven't got a cool bone in my body.
I gotta get back in the swing of things.
Why?
I MISS IT.
I miss knowing everything about you girls. I miss going through all the ups and downs. Being away from you all makes a hole in my heart.
How do I get it back?
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Start with one or two of your favorite blogs, catch up on them, then slowly expand as you feel up to it. There is nothing wrong for taking some time away, although I must say you have been missed!
Welcome back and hope to see you again soon up to your old form.
What Miss Tori said...yeah, that's the ticket. Hope to see you around more dear. You have been missed.
I'm kinda in the same boat. I haven't been around much lately either... haven't had much to say. I did want to say thanks for the comment. I love you too! Hope things are going well w/the fam!
I haven't been a big commenter lately. Life has been pretty f'ed up around here lately.
Have you checked out my "other" blog yet? Not related to parenting, cooking, decorating, or pregnancy (although I recently posted about pregnancy-but only once).
I miss having your updates..
i second the Captain's wife. I miss you blogging. I don't care what it's about :)
You really have kind of dropped off the face of the earth. I just assumed you were consumed with the SAH thing or job hunting or something. But I think Miss Tori is right. Just pick a few to start reading again. We don't care which ones. Slowly work your way back up. And if you have to, use the delete button in google reader. We won't know..We just want you back!
And please start posting again!!! I miss reading your stuff. Maybe some good stories from the old days that I missed before I started reading you. Something a long the line of Scary Guy Pills!
Really, all you can do is erase all the updates on your Reader and forget the past posts. I know it's hard to find time but every once in awhile just click on people's blog and "skim" through it! :) We forgive you...I guuueeessss! ;)
I agree with Morgan- cash out your reader, declare bankrupt on the pile of blogs waiting and begin again. or don't read- but please DO write.
I'm sorry...
I have missed you too! I think the best way to start is ignore the ones in your reader you don't feel like reading. I hope you still will feel comfortable reading mine, but I will understand if you don't want to....
In other news, Jewels is about to have her baby--sounds like she is in pre-labor!
Welcome back, I've missed your posts! Thanks for the comment on my blog!
MATE.
I fucken love you, and have thought about you heaps. Just didn't want to hassle you ... I think blogging breaks are good, gets you reconnected with other shit in your life.
I don't care how often you ever visit or comment on mine ... I know you love me and think I'm the shit, HAH!
Delete your feed reader ... and start by going to Pam's blog. Last week she did a VLOG!! You have to see it.
MWAH MWAH MWAH love you, and your spunky boobies ;)
Without your schnarky posts it's been really boring in blog land. Everyone is all fluffy and friendly and nice and everyone agrees with each other... well... mostly.
You need to stir up some shit like only you can.
I agree with the others who are of the "Fake it 'til ya make it" variety. That, and if you wait a bit, it'll pass...I've totally gone through periods of wanting to write/read but not feeling it. It goes away.
I'm trying to come out of a blogging hiatus as well.
I finally had to do what Calliope suggested - cash out my reader and declare bankruptcy. Actually it was very liberating.
I don't know what it has been lately. I've had a lot going on IRL and just not inspired to blog.
You'll get there. We've missed you!
All the other ladies are right. Start small and work your way back into it.
But start posting on your blogs again. I miss reading what's going on in your head...
Take care and I hope you're doing well...
I've missed you! I hope you find your blog mojo soon! :)
Dude- don't worry about it. Start from scratch & ignore what you want for now- I totally understand! But start posting dammit! I miss you & am feeling very selfish! ;o)
I've missed you and your blog and your rockin' knee socks.
Like DF says to me "How can I miss you if you never leave" (lol)
Maybe you just needed to TAB.
I know I have.
We miss you! If you can't read, at least write a little more till you get back in the swing of things. Maybe you could do a post where we all comment and tell you a quick update on us? Then you would be caught up. I like Tori's idea too.
Well its nice to see a few posts from you. You'll get back in the swing of things. Not much to read on me, except we quit TTC(after 3rd IUI and are living CF. Now we are dieting. LOL There's your book cover summary on my life.
Can we have a book cover summary of you life now? LOL Hope you are finding some bites on the job front.
Come over and look at LaLa's stitches in her forehead! Nothing like a bit o'gore to getcha back into the swing of things.
You coming to Denver for the tryouts? They are doing a scrimmage against a team from Seattle that day as well.
I'm trying out!
~squirmy happy~
Come see me! Dave is going out of town until Sunday night and I'm in hot water with him right now anyways.., I don't have my daughters that day.. .I'm free... free to party that night!
Just a thought!
Oh hon, it will get better. Don't worry about it you'll catch up. And P. Fucking S. you are cool. Don't ever think otherwise.
Delete everything in your reader so you get to start fresh, and pick and choose what really pulls at you vs the stuff that doesn't. And if you get into the posts you think will pull at you but then don't, just go to another one. Nothing says you HAVE to comment or HAVE to finish reading. Just be choosy and something will suck you back in again:-)
