So, I figured my “real” blogiversary was coming up soon. I sort of started this up in November of 2007, but dropped it as soon as I started. I have a bit of a bad habit dabbling in things, getting all excited about them, then dropping them. Some examples include quilting, writing, making jewelry, piano playing, cross-stitching…you get the idea. I’ve learned a lot from each foray into “something different” and have become a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none sort of girl. But that’s okay…I’ve stuck with the really important things, like marriage, and parenting, making our house a home, and teaching. (Well, you can’t hold the fact that I’m not teaching right now against me!)
So, back to the topic at hand…I revisited this whole blog thing in February…turns out it was February 28th to be exact. I don’t think I actually told anyone about it until the very end of March. I figured it would be another phase and didn’t want anyone seeing my failure to follow through. (Yeah, I’m shallow like that.) But here it is about a year later… I’m still here, and so are many of you…and we’ve added a few “cyber” friends along the way. 🙂
So here’s last year’s February 28th entry…the one that kicked it all off:
Boy, am I in a funk! So now I’m gonna rant and feel sorry for myself, then maybe I’ll get to the root of my problem.
It’s February…I HATE February.
I don’t feel good.
The baby wakes up screaming at 10:00 every night…for weeks now….it unnerves me!
E. is having coping problems again.
B. is away…
Change is coming.
I can’t spend money on anything fun.
It’s cold and snows all the time.
I haven’t heard from the publisher.
My brain is shriveling from lack of use.
I’m in horrible physical shape. I feel weak.
My neck still hurts so I’m afraid to exercise.
I hate laundry.
I’m sick of wearing layers….and boots…and coats.
A. is skinny, so I’m obsessing over feeding him enough.
I feel isolated.
And lonely.
Yep……there it is.
What’s funny is, I could’ve written that today!!!! LOL Difference is, last year I was in the “downy dumps.” This year, though all but two lines still apply, I feel encouraged, knowing it will pass as every other February “depression” has. So I thank you all for sticking around, encouraging me to continue, and I hope all of you keep coming back. It’s no fun writing to myself. 😉

A Half Hour a Day 
Happy Blog Anniversary! February is almost over! It has always been the worst month for me too as a stay-at-home-mom. Thank goodness it is a few days shorter! I am lost in a sea of painting(I keep typing paining-hmmm), and the new floor get installed Friday/Saturday. Could my four year, or more, kitchen face lift be coming to an end? Anyhoo, thanks for the blog! Love to all!
Hey, thanks Anywho!! 🙂
Can’t wait to see the kitchen!
Whining Whining Whining. Its too cold. (in mocking voice). I’m tired of the snow. (same voice) I hate February. (again same voice but louder) How sad and pathetic.
Just be glad that you don’t have to take a golden ring to a hell hole just to throw it down a volcano.
Be glad you aren’t having to sword fight a spaniard, best a giant and outwit a genius just to get your ass pushed down a hillside.
Be glad both your parents arent dead and the evil magic that killed them has its sights set on your destruction.
Be glad that you arent a Scotsman held captive by his homosexual nemisis.
Be glad that you dont have to save America from destruction in only 24 hours.
Be glad that you are not in a polygamous marriage.
Be glad you dont have to drive 10 ton trucks over ice.
Be glad your plane hasnt crash landed on a strange and magic island.
Be glad you arent a man.
And most of all.
Be glad you arent me.
HUGS – XAN

I’m so glad you kept your blog. You do have cyber friends out there who have found someone special to keep coming back to.
By the way, spring is just around the corner.
Thank you for your very kind comments! And please keep coming back!
I know spring is on it’s way…I can smell it! Yesterday it got up to 48 degrees here…I wore my wool sweater to do errands, no coat or gloves!! I felt so FREE!!! LOL Today it snowed again and is back down to 29, but hey, I’ll take respite whenever God wants to send it our way! 🙂
