Dedicated to the one I love

Dear Blog,

I owe you an apology.

I know you warned me that I was on thin ice with you after yet another “I’m so busy and can only write about children acting as pirates/zombies” post.

And yet still, there’s a distance between us that wasn’t there before.
I’ve been neglecting you, it’s true, and I can sense your hostility and impatience.

Let me preface this by saying – it’s not you. It’s me.

Other people have come into my life; I’m more occupied and honestly, more fulfilled.

I’m not spending my days in an unemployed stupor wearing my pyjamas for 2 days in a row without showering and eating cereal out of the box for 3 meals in a row. I work now. Hard. And we’ve had guests for nearly 3 weeks, so I guess you just weren’t the priority.

In the interest of full disclosure, I feel I should mention that .... there have been other blogs.

All this time we’ve spent apart I have been visiting other blogs.
But not you.

I check in on Sara Louise and Aidan and giggle at their antics, I spend time with Cup of Jo and LaineyGossip and MODG and Sassy Curmudgeon make me laugh even when I’m running on 4 hours of sleep and trying to write my 130th report comment in French.

So where do we go from here? I think there’s still something worth saving. Awhile ago we really had a good thing and I hope – and I know you hope so too – that we can get back to those memorable days of blogs on butterboobies and bedtime routines

You’ve been a shoulder to cry on, a comforting ear when I needed to rant, and through you I’ve met new people and made new friends.

I think we can still be together.
I think we can make this work.

Can you forgive me blog? I promise to never neglect you again.

Lots of love
B
