It was strangely balancing, to be thrust into a life situation that eliminated ALL other activities for a time.<BR/><BR/>I'm having to face my limitations and the fact that the reason we're doing what we are in our attempts to acquire and set up a homestead are for our own survival, on whatever level, but in a very real way to us. It's our work, and the blog is a journal. I feel torn because of the potential of knowing so many awesome homesteading bloggers better, by stopping by their blogs and learning so much, by posting updates on ours, and so on. But I"m not a professional blogger, and the blog's going to have to serve our family, and not the other way around. I'm slowing it down because the stuff here at home is the core of my life, and if it starts getting put at arm's length, we're going backwards.<BR/><BR/>That said, there's a time for everything. I think my consistency will be less dependable on the blog and more dependable with my family. Hopefully all of us are in the same boat and can extend neighborly help and chats "over the fence" here on the internet from time to time, to enrich what we already cherish.<BR/><BR/>Thank you as always for your great posts!<BR/><BR/>RobbynRobbynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860870861321231048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-70140588543468253742008-09-22T17:01:00.000-06:002008-09-22T17:01:00.000-06:00If I feel too burned out, I just get off the inter...If I feel too burned out, I just get off the internet for a while and do something else.

I have to agree that there does seem to be a spate of blogout lately.<BR/><BR/>I just read and comment on others, so I rarely get burned out.<BR/><BR/>With best regard, <BR/><BR/>Chicago MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091794270907110191.post-24724444441992312262008-09-20T21:14:00.000-06:002008-09-20T21:14:00.000-06:00I've definitely found myself ignoring my responsib...I've definitely found myself ignoring my responsibilties to blog or read or comment. I finally limited myself to during the day when I'm the only one home or at night after the kids are in bed. <BR/><BR/>I gave up on challenges and memes a long time ago. I just don't have the time or inclination to keep up with something like that!Mariannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053480963082704523noreply@blogger.com
