Top 5 Reasons

I'm lacking in the blogging department:

1. Lucy is getting older and staying awake for longer periods. I have to start feeding her real foods soon as she is approaching 6 months and quite frankly I hate this transition stage. I'm too impatient for this pureed spoon feeding stuff. I anxiously await the cheerios and finger food stage.

2. I have a treadmill. A friend gave me her old one for free and I really really love it. In the morning when the kids wake up in their zombie state I put them in front of the TV with milk I get to go run and watch a show on the upstairs TV. I love it and consequently miss out on my usual early morning blog time.

3. I made a goal to read 50 books this year. I'm pretty sure I read at least that or more throughout the year but this year my bestie Jeni and I are writing down what we read and swapping titles. With 4-5 books a month as the goal I've had to make sure I throw in at least 1 church book a month and tell myself the rest can't be chalk full of YA titles. Our husbands thought we were crazy and would never pull it off. They were so wrong.

4. I'm too lazy to pull the SD card out of my camera and upload my pics. It's so sad but it's true. And I hate blogging without pictures.

5. Life is just busy. Don't get me wrong I still find plenty of time to dink around on the Internet on my phone for a few minutes at a time but sitting down at the desktop requires dedication. Ashton is still in preschool everyday and between drop off and pick ups, nap times, Young Womens and nursing I just don't have it in me. Ask me how much I'm looking forward to older kids and real pick up and drop off schedules... yikes. Then after the kids go down David and I are watching a movie or we're in bed by 9:30 reading a book out loud together till 10. We're turning into old married people and we love it.

Top 3 Reasons I can not and will not give up on blogging:

1. My parents will harass me.
2. It's my only form of scrap booking pictures.
3. I can't think of a 3rd so hopefully the previous answers will motivate me.

Until then...

I feel the same way! Exepct that you have double the amount of kids I do and a nursing baby. I miss blogging, but I just can't get our lives under control to have the time!
My in-laws do harrass me a little asking for pictures. Thank goodness for instagram so at least they have those (PS-you need to join in on that fun).
