Not Good at Good-Byes

I can't bring myself to officially shut 'er down - yet - but can y'all please start visiting me over at my other and now main blog, Deadlines and Naptimes?

For three reasons:

1) Isn't that an AWESOME mommy blog name? Yeah, I know, I'm not creative by nature so when I hit something good I am proud.

2) I HATE the name of this blog, always have and there's no clean way I can think to tinker without basically starting over. No, wait, yes ... there's no way (subtext: at least not an easy way for a only very part-time web geek like me).

3) I cannot maintain two blogs and long ago the reason for STARTING a second one - documenting Rachel's birth - luckily wrapped up (i.e., she popped out). So now I'll just have one life, two kids and the ONE BLOG. Some of which is evidenced by my last photo post to Eemia's life...my kids at my mom's for Thanksgiving. Yes that's right, not Christmas, peeps, those are still on the camera. HENCE why I'm STREAMLINING a bit.

This blog will remain in cyber-wherever for a while I guess, I hope, so maybe someday when I've got spare time (whoo HOOOO can you believe I said that?) I can print off the posts.

Or as EEJ and I have fervently been discussing, maybe I can transfer them over to populate my other blog someday when Blogger gets a clue and makes that possible (COME ON, BLOGGER EMPLOYEE #18 WHO IS IN CHARGE OF SECRETLY MONITORING OUR BLOGS FOR 'USER INPUT' - MAKE IT HAPPEN!)

Anyway it's sad to say good-bye. This was my first foray into blogging and it's been cathartic, fun, and most important, given me great connections and insights into this new world of moms and blogs. I know so many people better now - IRL and online, I've learned so much from everyone here, and look forward to continue and hopefully even step it up, over there.

I've been postponing this post because I thought I'd do something more fantastical to say Bye but instead I'll say CLICK HERE NOW and be on my merry way. Sniffffffff.
