To say that I've loved having this outlet would be a gross understatement. It has been freeing to give voice to my quirky thoughts, joyful moments and motherly frustrations. I've become addicted, as I feared I might. Remember when I told you about my dysfunctional reading? Well, It's turned into dysfunctional blogging. When I was a young paper carrier I used to walk my route thinking in "novel." Thoughts such as, "the tired girl wiped the sweat from her brow with one hand as she pulled the next paper from her bag with the other." My thoughts were literally like I was reading them from a book. Strange, I know. So now I'm thinking in "blog" and it's driving me insane.
The other problem? Early morning = personal scripture study, daytime = Allie, evening = alone time with the love of my life. There just doesn't seem to be a fitting time for me to indulge myself in my latest addiction. My youngest will only be home for one more year. I can't afford any regrets at this stage in my life.
Be sure to keep tabs on us through this guy's blog. Who knows, maybe he'll even let me be a guest blogger from time to time.
Thank you for indulging me in this blogging adventure of mine.
I have loved every moment of it
and I'll miss it like mad ~

But wait....
can't I keep up on news about your family without having to read posts about golf?
No offense to Bo. It must be a late 90's Mars/Venus thing.
I will TRULY miss your posts. You have inspired me. But I understand and I only hope that one day you will return to the totally outrageous world of blogging. It has been wonderful therapy for me. We will miss you.... Although, I'll see you at Church on Sunday if not sooner! :)
What? Where will I be able to find the wonder of life. I can only hope you will write a line or two once a month or so. A good spot on the www will be missing until you return.
LOVE YOU
How about just once a week? You've also gotta have a little "me" time too.
Sure glad we're friends and live close so I can still hear your quirky thoughts!
Man, talk about all or nothing! Since you've got us all hooked, I second Kim's idea--maybe you could throw us a bone and blog just once a week or so?
Jodi, you're doing this for the right reasons! And whether you go all or nothing, or zap in from time to time, we understand and respect your decision. Don't be swayed by the loyal devotion of us readers, either, if you give blogging a long break. But I think Becky will be cueing up for more Apple live chats now!--tim
I know as a mother we feel guilty doing things for ourself, it's OKAY. It reminds us of our likes and dislikes, things that make us happy and smile, things that remind us, of who we are. Sometimes when we don't spend time on ourself we get lost and confused.
p.s. It also helps us not go insane
Jodi your a GREAT mother. To have Jodi time is okay. Think about it.

Okay.... I brainstormed last night and I came up with this: let Ally come play with me and Kenna once a week for a few hours and that will give you enough time to do whatever you want to do... Besides, WE LOVE ALLY to pieces! And she is a JOY to have come play at our house. Kenna would be in HEAVEN.
THINK ABOUT IT.
Love,
Jess
I completely understand, which is why I don't post more frequently. You have my admiration (as always) and my blessings. I will miss your thoughts.
Love you!
That darn addictive personality. Thanks for these past months. The Patience of Jod has been a great jewel in my computer time. Your thoughts are amazing and your writing is beautiful. Your insight in life has lightened me. (Just one more year before Allie goes to school? Sounds good. I'll be here next year.) I love you.
Nope. Not good by, just 'taking a little break', okay? Nobody sees life like you do. You have a gift.
