Mark All As Read!

If you're looking for my Slow Cooking post, it's just below.

I'm just running in quick to say that I only have two days left with my babies, next week Monday they start school again.

That is why I have been away from the blog and not posting as much, my apologies but priorities and all that right?

But I just had to tell you that I opened up my Google Reader and hit MARK ALL AS READ! Yes I did!

Why? Because I'm tired of looking at it each day and seeing 600 new unread posts, it makes me feel guilty and I hate feeling that way when I have a perfectly good reason for not blogging.

So I decided to just start fresh, oh I'm sure I'm missing a lot of old good posts from you guys, but I promise I'll catch up on Monday.

Until then, could you just not blog? *snicker* That's too much to ask you say? Oh fine, then go ahead but I'll probably hit the "mark all as read* again a time or two. LOL

I'm off to enjoy the day with my kids, that is between mountains of laundry and trying to keep the couch pillows on the poor couch. I tell you, I think my couch is counting the minutes until school starts too.

Before I leave though, won't you stop in and just leave me a Hi, come on all you lurkers, old and new readers. De-Lurk Yourselves!

Have a wonderful day everyone, I'll be back posting soon.

I've been doing this too...posting less, reading less and spending more time with my "priorities"!

Hi Sandra! Enjoy these last days with your kids. I have two more weeks with mine, then they're back to school, too!

Renee said...

Enjoy your time with your kiddos! Can't believe school time is upon us so soon. Have a wonderful weekend.

Now we get the pay off for our summer holidays starting late - we still have another four weeks before the girls go back to school.

Enjoy your last couple of days :)

You are a courageous woman! The only time I marked all as read was by accident, and I didn't like it! :) LOL

Sandra,

No worries, enjoy each and every passing moment with your kids while summer still exists. There will always be time for catching up later.

Love and Hugs ~ Kat

My daughter starts school on Monday too! Just curious whether you pack your kids' lunches or whether they buy at school? I'm trying to come up with some good ideas besides the standby of PB&J!

Nicole said...

No guilt...I understand! Enjoy your children before they go back to school!

It took me days to catch up after I had my baby... I was tempted to do the same, and I only had a little over 200 unread blogs. =)

Elenka said...

good luck in school, little ones!!

Christy said...

Okay, okay, hello! It's all google reader's fault, you know. I read you every day.

Conny said...

WHAT!!? School - already!!? I'm so not ready ... yes, yes, by all means, enjoy your days with the kiddos at home yet. :) We start school on Aug 20 & since I *work* at the school, I am sooooooo busy right now - and so not ready to start back. yet.

It's a very freeing experience, being released from the bonds of one's own unnecessary expectations! I did that myself this week. It didn't even hurt.

When I moved from working 1 day a week to 4/wk some of my more loyal commenters asked me to PLEASE not stop blogging....slow down if I must, but don't stop. Not that I needed anyone's permission, but I felt that a reasonable compromise. Besides, I enjoy blogging, but some days I just don't make it to the computer anymore.

Enjoy every moment that you can with your babies!
