I Used to Be a Blogger

It is after midnight, and here I am blogging.  Ryan and I just finished the last episode of season two of Downton Abbey (you can find them online), and that show leaves me feeling both happy and angsty at the same time.  I am a sucker for "period" dramas.  Anyway, Ryan went to bed like a sensible chap (imagine the British accent), but I have the sudden urge to blog--which doesn't happen too much anymore so I am taking advantage of my burst of motivation.

I used to really enjoy blogging.  I used to do it on a fairly regular basis.  But I've recently realized that I no longer have thoughts.  Is that normal?  All I think about all day is laundry and baby sleep schedules, neither of which seems like an exciting topic for a blog post.  When I do actually have deep thoughts, I am too tired to make sense of them and write them down.

And now I can't think of anything more to say.

When I started this post, I thought that I was in the mood to write...but now I am feeling exceptionally tired, so I think I will go to bed.

Maybe I'll try again tomorrow!

  1. Ahhhh I completely understand Rachel. I've been off the bandwagon for quite some time now, and have even been forgetting to take pics of my kids. (Which I feel guilty about!) I feel like they are just doing the same stuff every day, why do I need a pic of that. I need to set a goal to blog at least once a week, or so :) Good luck on your next attempt!

  3. So glad I'm not the only one who feels like life is all about the kiddos. Once a mom, always a mom! The good news is that their cute smiles and loving hugs make everything else seem less important.

  6. You may not have written a lot, but what you did write was the truth of so many moms :) blogging seems to be a rather daunting task these days. Hope all is well for you!

  7. I totally miss your blogging. But I completely understand what you are talking about. In fact, I was just saying to Paul that it seems like our blog has degenerated to a state of once-a-week posts (usually on Sunday night) with an overload of photos of Clara with the tiniest variations in her smile or her eyes. To me, they are all so darling and so significant that I put them up on the blog and I don't even say that much, but it has got to be pretty dull for most everybody else (except for maybe my mom and Kayli). I'm trying to figure out how to be better about that.

    And I have also had the experience of feeling like I have LOTS to blog about, then I sit down and after a sentence or two I can't think of a single thing to say. So weird!

  8. Oh my gosh that is so funny. I pretty much feel the exact same! I love how you say things and would love to hear any nonthoughts you have to share. :)
