making a change.

alrighty, well i think i am going to put a limit on my blogging. it all started last Saturday! Lance was out of town at the cabin with my brothers , there were no expectations of me. all i had to so was survive with all the kids overnight alone. and somehow i managed to get a ton done. I cleaned the stove, the microwave and the fridge. and cleaned two counters. I did some laundry, and re-arranged the pantry. yes i was super productive! and i didn't yell at the kids to help . which is totally rare for me. i even got a babysitter and went out to a movie. with my sister and sister-in-law and friends. it was great!
why did I get a ton done? what did i do differently?
I didn't blog. i didn't check everyone else's blogs and i barely posted. yup! and if i looked at blogs i didn't comment! I know crazy! but i knew if i sat down for just a minute to post or check the blogs i would be screwed, nothing would get done and i would meet expectations for sure, but look at all i did! and i was happy. the whole time i thought whoohoo look what i did. Lance had no expectations of me because i have him trained to have none. and so if i do something it is extra amazing.

Another reason a change came about. Because my friend April recently took off the option to comment on her blog, and seriously it is pretty great to read it and go, no feeling like i need to comment on anything. she is amazing , but i think you can only hear that so much from your blog friends, so she made it so no one had to comment or feel like they needed to . and she said it has taken the pressure out of blogging. feeling pressure to post? some people do. feeling obligated to comment? i do sometimes, and sometimes, i force people to comment. and no more. I am taking off the comment option. yup! I'm trying it for a while. and if i post i post, and if i comment i comment. this is a trial run . and a minor change . if you wanna ask me a question, or just comment to me about something you can email me. it is listed on my profile or I'll put it on my sidebar.

I'm not the only one feeling like they are in a funk.

thanks to all that emailed me or were sneaky and posted a comment on another post. you guys are fabulous! I'll bounce back! i always do.

and i am feeling way better about this evening. Chuckie cheeses was fun, the kids had a grand time. Joy said some dang funny crap in the car. maybe tomorrow i'll post about it or maybe not. no promises.

and HOLY COW! LOVED GREY"S ANATOMY! that truly brightened my day!
"that might make you poop but you're not gonna die!"
"i thought we were BFF's?"

OH all of it was fab except freaking Alex, what an ASS! if you haven't watched it bummer. it was great! fabulous! whoohoo! i was seriously flipping off the tv for the Alex part though. ahhh love grey's!
