one-sided

I've read a statement on several of my favorite blogs lately and I definitely tend to agree that blogging {at times} can feel very "one-sided". To me, it almost feels like I'm talking to myself :) and you wonder if anyone is even reading and "is this thing just a gigantic waste of time?". But since my purpose for the blog is create amazing scrapbooks for my children {love you, blurb.com}, I keep on, keeping on. So in case my sister-in-law feels this way, I'm here to let you know.

Amy. we read. In fact. WE. ALL. READ. {please excuse the mess, it's real life around here, I took the color out of the picture to make the mess less painful to look at}.


it goes like this: I pull up the blog website. and then one of my children meanders to me, points at the screen and says, "charlie" or "yit" {whit} or "sim" {sam}. and then that statement somehow alerts the masses and they ALL meander over. and then suddenly I've lost my seat and the reigns of the computer. Lord help us all, if there's a picture of an animal. or Mimi.


And then it always ends with, "can Charlie come over to play??" And the great news is that the Watkins House of Germs has made a rebound and we are so excited to actually play with our cousins instead of staring at pictures on the internet!
