Dear Diary

This blog has turned into my complaining place. When I can't think of anything else to write, I just start bitching about random things in my life. I think this gives my readers the wrong impression of my life. I am not a bitter old hag, who is miserable with her life. In reality, I am a very happy person. My kids are awesome little people. My husband is fabulous. I couldn't ask for anything better. I could certainly use more money and more patience and more living space, but I couldn't ask for better people in my life. So, in case you were wondering, I am happy.

I have noticed that my comments have really dropped off lately. I used to average 20 to 30 comments per post. Now I am lucky if I get 10. I am sure this is directly related to bitchfest 09'. Or maybe it is related to the fact that I no longer comment as much as I used too. Or maybe it is because I have nothing interesting to say EVER. Whatever the reason, it makes me a little sad. I can only hope that you are still reading. Otherwise, this whole blogging thing seems kind of meaningless. You're still reading right? RIGHT?

I may be boring and I may bitch too much, but my kids are still cute...

No, its not that for me anyways... I'm having a hard time getting back in the comment mode since I got back online. I'm trying, working on it... but now morning sickness is kicking my ass lol.

I enjoy reading your posts, complaints or not... and I get having to do that sometimes ;-)

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing around my place too.
Maybe it's the summer time... I think people have just been busy with summer fun & now school prept...etc.
I don't think it's you!

Kris said...

Yeah, I third the not getting many comments lately either. I never have gotten quite that many but its down to like 0 on most posts. Doesn't help that I took them off facebook where I actually would get some lol. Oh well.

I'm still reading! You don't know me, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure how I came to your blog, but I love that you tell it how it is, no sugar coating! Thanks for all the posts and I will try to comment more often!

Oops. My comment is prob what makes you think I think you're miserable. I didn't mean it that way, promise! I just thought that you seemed super happy... oh whatever. I'll dig myself into a hole because that's what I'm good at. Just ignore me.

My comments are almost 0 now. I think everyone is doing the summer thing. That, or people are tired of waiting for me to say something profound and interesting. :)

I LOVE YOU and will read you even if you do become a raging bitch (which you arent).

it's not you. pretty sure the lack of commenting is happening all around this little pretend world of ours. it's back to school. it's last minute summer vacas.

trust me. it's not you.

I totally have NO time to comment anymore. I have to practically skim blogs these days before I am interrupted by one responsibility or another! Still reading though...!

I'm totally still reading. Me the girl who lost her blog remember me? I am a lazy asshole that is why I lost my blog (because really I was too lazy to look for it) and that is why I haven't been commenting. ;)

Clare said...

I hear you, i haven't gotten too many comments lately, not that I got a lot. I just haven't had too much time to read other blogs, and I think people don't visit your blog unless you are reading their blog, oh well:)

Mary said...

I think it's just the summer. A lot of people are blogging less and commenting less.

April said...

Christy - I am still reading and ejoying! My blog has suffered my lack of desire to post and therefore comment as well. I will blame it on the womb baby (for now at least). Keep it up though, I'm still here!

Danielle said...

I read bur don't always comment. I find my comments are usually directly related to how I often I comment. I try to think of blogging for me and not for comments or else I would get bummed.

Laura Marchant said...

I still read. I have been lazy and reading through my google reader a lot of the times, lol. I will get better :-)

Stephanie said...

You have to be able to say the bad and the good. We can't always have rainbows flowing out our butts! :) No worries, we still read. And YES YOUR KIDS ARE CUTE!

Stefanie said...

I still read, just never have anything witty to say so I don't comment a lot. My comments have gone down a crap load too, but then again I only have about 5-7 readers :)

Unknown said...

I notice that my comments went down when I was not commenting as much on people's sites and so they don't come to mine and sometimes I am not writing anything interesting-just posting cute pics.

Carrie said...

I like the bitching and the cute kids.....

Nellie said...

I feel like comments have decreased everywhere... it's summer. I have done less reading and also have had less comments on my blog. I was hoping thing would pick up on both ends after school starts... we'll see.

Laura McIntyre said...

Im feeling the same around my place regarding comments , some posts are getting nothing and its a little upsetting. I don't have much time to leave comments to others but do try.

Maybe as someone else said its just cause its summer time?

I honestly think it's mainly busyness -- I know I'm slammed lately and having trouble keeping up with my reading!
