Some of you might have noticed that my blog was blocked for a day or so. There were some "issues'' on my blog that I was instructed to take care of and since I wasn't sure how to do that, I just went private until I could get the "issues" taken care of.
Remember diaries. The real kind with the keys. We'd write things in there about who the cutest boys were then we'd lock it up so that no one could read it.
Well here I am... writing in my diary about my kids, my marriage, my weight, my everything... and there are no keys. Total strangers can read about all that stuff. That's a little weird, but what's more weird is when it's not a stranger. When someone you know reads your diary. That to me is so much worse than a total stranger. These non-strangers read all about your life but they don't comment or even tell you that they read. They know all your business and you don't even know it.
Blogger has this feature allowing you to go "private". When I first started my blog I thought it might be a good idea to be private cause of the weird strangers of the world, but now that I've had this blog for a little over a year, I've learned, it's not the strangers that pose a threat.... it's the non-strangers. They read your life story, judge it, talk about it, sometimes even cause "issues".
This is MY diary. This is MY way of keeping a record of what's going on in MY life. I shouldn't have to let anyone and everyone read it... right? I should be able to say what I want and not have to worry about who's reading.... right? I mean, it is my diary. Maybe it should have keys!

Yea this is something I've totally struggled with. Sometimes you are just venting or having a bad day and then you get an email from your grandma making sure you are okay. Anyway, thanks for letting us read your diary. I love hearing about the girls and your daily life! Makes it feel like you don't live so far from me :O)
I think it's weird that someone would comment - on someone else's comment, especially negatively.
It is your life and your blog...you should be able to write whatever you want! If people don't like it or get offended maybe they shouldn't read it. I love your blog and think you do a great job with it!
I am sorry that you have had issues with your blog. I hope it gets better.

I think you mentioned your blog on facebook and I have been reading it ever since but I haven't left a comment so I just want you to know that i'm not lurking! Sorry to hear about the blog drama, I think you are hilarious and I love how you tell it like it is!
