Current 38 Reasons Not to Blog
Back in October 2004, I listed my 100 Reasons Not to Blog, along with 21 copied from Jeffy's 100. I'm sure there's some overlap here, but these are my current 38 Reasons Not To Blog:
1. Choir practice
2. Piano lessons for E
3. Drum lessons for J
4. Taking kids to school
5. Picking up kids
6. Shopping, cooking, cleaning, dishes, laundry, tidying, etc.
7. Playing bridge
8. Prayer meeting for our kids and their school with Moms in Touch here
9. Attending meetings at school like this morning's Head of School Open Forum or Thursday's informational meeting about my son's upcoming 7th grade trip to Wales
10. Neighborhood coffee, meeting new neighbors and holding a 3-week-old baby
11. Lunch with a friend and visiting her house for the first time
12. Baking to have something fun for kids' friends to munch on when they come to play
13. Sleeping
14. Showering
15. Kissing kids good night, kissing husband good night
16. Processing mail
17. Cleaning off my desk (someday)
18. Welcoming new families to the school as Room Parent for my son's class - he got two new classmates today, and 8 more kids are joining the school next week, though I don't know if any will be in his class. I would think that would be very hard, joining a school in the middle of the year.
19. Texting my husband love notes
20. Sending my husband steamy notes at the office by postal mail
21. Arranging for babysitters so we can visit a home group from a local church
22. Figuring out which home groups to visit and contacting the leaders
23. Getting new shoes and a new belt for the kids to replace the trashed old ones
24. Researching mid-winter holiday options for a family who'd like to ski but whose dad can only take very limited time off during the kids' vacation time
25. House guest (country dancing in our living room, taking walks, playing games, cooking, praying, brainstorming about getting a dance ministry started here in England, since she led the one we adored in California)
26. International phone calls and emails regarding the sale of our house in France (yay)
27. Ferrying kids to friends' homes or the friends back to their homes
28. Seeing kids' dramatic productions at school
29. French tutoring
30. Taking son to youth group
31. Arranging for repair work to be done on house
32. Volunteering in daughter's classroom
33. Reading Bible
34. Reading Eldest (I'm now up to page 318/668)
35. Watching inspiring, positive movies with kids (thanks, Mom, for those Christmas presents)
36. Talking with husband, talking with kids
37. Making kids' lunches
38. Past time to go to bed (already) (again)

That's still one of my most viewed posts ever.
I was just thinking the other day that I could probably do a new list since things have changed a bit since I wrote that one.
Most of my reasons aren't as worthy as all of yours, though.

I am off to Federal Grand Jury duty (again), but I can think of at least one or two excellent reasons for you TO BLOG, and that is that your mother can quickly get an idea of your life, what is on your mind and in your heart, and you can make her (me) laugh or cry, turn to prayer, whatever it is, in a single BLOG posting. Your mother loves you! Kiss the kids for me! Mom Remember to breathe! ;-)
