Useless Blogging

Ever notice that unless you are writing a blog totally anonymously, with no one reading it that knows who you REALLY are, they are really kind of useless? For example, what if you had a big fight with DH (I haven't, really; this is just an example) and just wanted to vent and blow off steam through writing? Well, if DH and your friends, family, etc., read your blog, it could cause all sorts of trouble. Not only would DH be even more upset with you, but suddenly, everyone knows your business and has advice for you, even if you never really intended it that way. And when you're not even mad anymore, the BLOG is still out there. Blogs are weird that way.

So, instead of posting a useless rant on some random topic, I'll post a little sunshine in the form of a picture of DD, who is already 10 1/2 months old and walking. We went apple picking today, and she LOVED the little pumpkin patch there!



Isn't she cute??? :)

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Anybody Out There?

I like to write, I'll admit, but I wonder if anyone out there is reading this blog. Granted, I don't write much, especially since nowadays my blogging is split among three blogs: this one, my homeschool blog, and my LLLI conference blog.

Well, the conference is all finished, and what an experience it was. (See that blog for more details!)

There's been plenty going on but little time to actually sit at the computer and write. I've been trying to figure out what exactly is going on with DS that makes things so difficult for him socially and "sensorily." Does he fit one of this syndromes or defiicits they talk about, and if so, would having a label help or hinder him? In the meantime, I'm thinking that there are things that can help, label or not.

One thing is I'm going to try to improve the family nutrition one step at a time. First with me, I'm lowering or cutting out the soda altogether. After some time to get used to that, I'll set another goal. Some good ones might be switching over to as many whole grains as possible and adding more good fats (like seafood) into our diets. This will be good for all of us. Wish me luck on getting it done.

If you're out there and hang on my every word (haha), drop a comment here and there. I'm not sure who I'm writing this for, but if it's only for me, I won't feel guilty if I decide to let it go ;)
