I think I could have written this post myself (except not as beautifully!). I started blogging as a way to mark time of my boys growing up. Now I feel like I'm trying to please others. <br /><br />Your post is perfect. Thank you! Wow. I think I could have written this post myself (except not as beautifully!).

Please email me if you need anything :)<br /><br />lilaphase, thanks! I'm curious how you feel now you've left entrecard. that seems like it would be nice time to have back :)<br /><br />Lilu, it's nicer than I can say how nice it is to know I'm not alone. I know I'm not going to stop but sometimes I'm afraid I'm turning into somebody's eccentric aunt. xxx ooo<br /><br />Paula, you are too funny! it's a process, I think. We all know when something feels like bs, but so what, and who is to say? At the very least it's the part of us we've chosen to show on that day. xxx ooo Staci, In case you get this, I’m so sorry about your mom. Please email me if you need anything :)

I used to sing it to my son when he was first born. <br /><br />I know how you feel. I started out wanting to share.. make my friends & family laugh.. and then it all seemed too personal to put out there for anyone. <br /><br />I am still waiting to feel comfortable really. =] I love that song.

Seriously. I think you captured what a lot of us feel a lot of the time... if I could only count how many times I've stopped and thought to myself, "WHY am I doing this? And if I don't know, shouldn't I stop?"<br /><br />But I won't. I can't. I don't know why it's so important, but it is. It's become a part of me, slowly and surely, that I would feel a bit empty without, for whatever that's worth. This is killer, Margo. Seriously.

I hate it when I have to click a category in which me or my blog falls. I'm not a mommy blogger, unless being a dog mommy blogger counts. Then again, I'm not really a pet blogger either because I talk about other things. Is there an aunty blogger category? I haven't seen one yet. I try to be funny, but I'll probably never be funny enough to join the Humor Bloggers Network or whatever it's called. Of course, I'm just happy if I'm not as boring as dried toast. I don't spend all day on Twitter. Even when I'm on, I don't know what to say, and I've never added the first hashtag. And networking? Heck, if I was good at that, I would probably have a real job by now. I’m so with you. I hate it when I have to click a category in which me or my blog falls.

You like to blog, but you don't limit yourself to a specific name or category. Except that's exactly what I just did...only I made that name up myself. See how I keep you on your toes like that??
