I'm still here

I've hit the blog wall.  Have you noticed that when people first start a blog they post on everything, their baby's first tooth, their views on world politics, the sandwich they had for lunch, their ingrown toenail.  And for a lot of people they keep blogging religiously for a few weeks or months sharing the personal details of their lives.  Then they skip a week and then apologize for the absence.  And a few more posts ensue.  Then you notice that they are blogging at fewer and fewer intervals until suddenly you come to a realization that you haven't heard about how their ingrown toenail is bothering them in quite a while.  In fact, you're wondering if they are still alive or perhaps they've contracted a peculiar illness that keeps them from their computer.  They (and most embarrasinly, I) have hit the blog wall. 
I often visit my own blog to check the progress of other bloggers links, and every time I do I have to look at my own last blog post from (gulp) three months ago taunting me like an abandoned pet.  But sometimes it just feels like so much work to download the pictures, put them in the right order, and then write about them.  And then when you miss, say, three months, the job becomes even more daunting because now instead of just blogging about the last day of school, you now have to blog about the last month of school, the last day of school, the beginning of summer vacation, your mother-in-law's visit (yikes!), your kid's reading habits, their crazy sayings, the zoo camp your son went to, and scout camp.  Now you know why I haven't even attempted!!  So from now on I may just post anonymous pictures and, heck, if you're really lucky you may hear about my ingrown toenail every now and then.  So stay tuned? or not

Bingo. Ditto. Yah, me too. I feel like I'm hardly on the computer anymore. But, yet, I want to record everything so we have it for our family history. So, I understand the dilemma.
