With all this talk about the Homeschool Blog Awards going on around the homeschool blogging world, I realized that I have not done a homeschooling post since October 11th! (Excluding posting the link to the Carnival of Homeschooling.)
The first reason is that I was going to start a new blog with homeschooling tips, one that would only contain homeschooling tips, resources, etc., and no personal stuff, so I was doing HS posts over there. I decided that I didn’t want to do that, though. I think that would stretch me too thin. As it is, I started doing political blogging again and I feel like that is already stretching me too thin. (And not the kind of thin I want to be, either.)
The second reason is that I tend to blog in bursts. I might do a lot of faith posts for a while, then I might do a lot of cooking posts. I was doing a lot of frugal posts recently. I just haven’t felt like doing homeschooling posts.
The final reason is that we took a little break from formal lessons. We had a lot going on around here and we have been out of the books for a while. That is probably why I have not done homeschooling posts lately.
I think that I should make it a point to do at least one post about homeschooling per week. That will keep my focus on what I am here to do. (Here meaning at home. Not here on this earth. I am sure there is more in store for me than homeschooling. Not that that isn’t a good enough calling or anything. You know what I’m saying, right?)
Speaking of the Homeschool Blog Awards, can you believe that this blog is young enough to be nominated for Best New Homeschool Blog? I can’t believe it, but I only started this blog on April 13, 2007. Wow!
[Edit: Just to clarify, I was pointing out that this blog is young enough to be nominated. Nominations are still going on until 11/17.]
I guess it just seems like I have been blogging since, like, February of 2006. (That’s when I started my first blog.)
Don’t worry if you already nominated someone else. Just having you as a reader is worth more than any award.

I think I better figure out who I am nominating for what and do so before the nominations close. : ) Or I’ll be sending them in for 2008, I guess.

Marye, I wasn’t nominated - yet. Sorry for the confusion. I qualify to be nominated, meaning my blog is young enough. Nominations are still going on.
Thanks for reading, though!
