To Blog or Not To Blog?

It seems like everyone is going through the blogging blues lately. Everyone seems to be losing the creative desire that used to burn inside them in their early blogging days. I know that since I have started blogging I feel like it has become more of an addiction then a hobby. It is so easy to let all these compliments go to my head and pretend that I actually have fans. However I feel that my family and my house cleaning have been severely neglected in this process. So there in lies the question "to blog or not to blog" Well a funny thing happened yesterday and I was forced not to blog. Our electricity went out for a day and a half. No TV, no internet, no blog, no light. It was almost like an out of body experience to spend a whole night and day just hanging out with my family and some flash lights! I felt like a part of me was missing....oh yeah I did not have a computer glued to my
forehead. So what I learned is that hanging out with my kids with no interruption is awesome, but I also realized that I am not ready to give up the blog. So here is where I have decided to go from here. To sum it up in one word "boundaries". I must set myself up with some blogging boundaries. For example I can write my blog in the morning, read everyone else's, and then maybe surf through one more time before I go to bed, but no more running to my computer every 5 minutes to read and write comments. To kick this new routine off I am going on a three day fast. I will be fasting from food, the computer, and the TV for the next 3 days. I am going to dedicate these three days to spending time with my family and God. I hope this will be the kick off to a new outlook on my role as a mother, wife, and Christian women. So the Godmother is signing off for three days. I will be back Saturday and I will even break my rule and blog on the weekend. I should be able to come up with some good blogs while I am starving, with my fingers shaking from typing withdrawals, and blurred vision from the lack of television. Wish me luck!
