Me Right Now

{I feel a bit like her right now}

... but not dead, just a bit smothered/ smashed ;)

Things have been a little crazy lately & I'm having trouble keeping up with emails, requests, etc.  I apologize to anyone I haven't gotten back to (especially those who've asked me to check out their blogs & whom I haven't gotten back to)  and hope you can understand that I'm at a kind of busy point in life right now.  I have an insane amount of guilt about missing emails/ not having enough time to respond/ not reading all of the blogs I love & I hope you know it never comes from a place of thinking I'm important/ above anything or anyone...  I'm just running out of time.  As I type right now I hear my husband in the other room tucking in our two-year-old, reading him a story.

Every now & then I'll read a post on a blog that says how we (as bloggers) are supposed to act and what we're supposed to do.  I usually agree with them 100% in theory (comment on people's blogs who comment on yours, always thank people for the sweet emails, comments, etc) but am just not physically able to keep up and do what I should do.  There are so many amazing new blogs popping up and I sadly have to face the fact that I can't keep up.

I love blogging. I really do.  But if I followed all of the etiquette/ rules, I wouldn't be able to even write my blog anymore.  There simply aren't enough hours in the day.   So I apologize if I haven't responded to you or if you haven't seen my comments lately.  I really do care- I just have someone needing me almost every minute of the day here at home. 

Also, thanks so much to everyone pointing out that my name was misspelled on the new blog layout.  I had caught that too and since it was so confusing want to let you know that it's "Liess" (you can do the whole "I" before "E" thing to remember ;).  There are also still a bunch of kinks being worked out with the blog & the links & fonts, etc. and I'm hoping it gets resolved quickly and as soon as it does, I'll give you the real tour ;)

Hope everyone had a good weekend and big hug,

lauren

ps- am still slowly adding back my blogroll.  If you don't see yours on here, it's not because I'm removing you, it's simply because it's going to take a while to get it retyped.  I know how important our blogrolls are to each other & will get on it as soon as I can.  thanks for being patient! :)

And now off to read some bedtime stories!!
