I'm still a rockstar...
(Her shirt says, "Little Rockstar" and both my girls love that song by Pink. "So what.")
Little Pie is 13 months old today too.
I am thinking about either stopping the blog or going private. I just don't know. And I am having to hold back after the results. I may be around soon or I may not. Thoughts?
UPDATE:
Thank you for the concern. I am not/was not fishing for compliments or "please stays." No one said anything about my beliefs, etc. No bad comments or anything like that at all have happened. I started this blog as a journal for me and for family and friends to keep up with us. (Tim's family is all over the place). It is one sided in most cases with family. That is okay and I have to keep telling myself that. They know what we are up to but unless we ask we have no idea what they are up to. And, I just feel now, w/the current state of the US (or soon to be state of it) I no longer feel as safe as I once did. There may or may not be enough of a change (cringe) that most people won't notice. I WILL. God will no longer be the center of our country. A lot of changes ( I DO hate that word now) are going on here too (I will not share. We are all fine) and I may limit or stop the blog altogether. That’s all. I don’t think anyone realizes how time consuming all the pictures and the blogging is. I have two kids now (started the blog almost two years ago with just one) and the little one is a cling-on. I have to hold Jenna off and have Ash hitting at keys every time I type. :o( IF I keep the blog and decide to go private - only those I KNOW - meaning I have seen you face to face or we have the same friends - (unless a rare circumstance) will be added. I should also say that I have been recognized by someone I have NEVER met, that does not live around here and it kinda freaked me out...I have heard of similar cases...

Have you had some privacy issues...bad comments?? I love stopping by to see your pictures and the 'crazy' happenings, but would totally understand whatever you decide.
And as far as the results...it hasn't settled for me either...I just don't know what is in our future for our children. Now we have to pray for him and everyone else involved with makeing decisions.
I think you should do whatever you want to!!!
The kids & I totally LOVE that song too!
Don't go! I enjoy your blog!
I love your blog! I especially loved your recent posts regarding the election. Don't go!
I love visiting your blog everyday and seeing the cute pics and happenings of you and your girls. Thats why I like blogs better than Facebook or MySpace. And, thats why I do my blog. Its not as detailed as yours, but really, that's why I love your blog. As for the election results, everyone is entitled to what they believe in. I think that you express yourself very well, and I like reading what you have to say on the matter! I don't know if you have your mind set, but I hope in some small way you see how much joy you bring people with your blog!
P.S. My girls and I love that song too!
I love reading your blog. Your girls are beautiful! Go private if you like but add your faithful readers! lol
Heck No, Kelly Don't Go. Heck No, Kelly Don't Go. Heck No, Kelly Don't Go. Come on people, start chanting with me. :)
In all seriousness, I enjoy reading your blog, so I don't want you to go. Having said that, I don't know the situation and will completely understand whatever decision you make.

I do not know what is going on...but i feel like i am so close to you and your family...I hate to have you leave me now.
If you need ANYTHING.....please call 816-699-3387 or email rdominguez@yellowdognetworks.com.
I am very attached to you and you kiddo's and hate to see you leave, but do totally understand. just add me to your important list.
Love ya,
Rachel
Oh, I know exactly how you feel... When I woke up - I knew exactly who would have commented this morning based on politics - and I was right. What's sad is that is that Tom and I talked and maybe I just need to focus more on conservative blogging from this point forward - then maybe I won't feel so constrained for my viewpoints in the future. So, I'm here for you as someone who shares your feelings. I will spend more time on your blog. I'm sorry you've felt the backlash for sharing your honest opinions - I think it's sad we've all felt a slap for not agreeing 100% with the other side, but apparently that's how it's going to be.
Love to you.
Who recognized you and where. You never mentioned it to me...

I, too, would hate to see you go as I visit at least once a day but I do understand the time involved! And I would completely understand. I've never met you but feel just as close as if you lived next door :)
I would hate to see you go. I relate to so many of your mommy feelings and even your ones in this post on change. I feel worried and scared too.
I am sorry you are feeling vulnerable. No matter what you do keep writing your life down, your feelings your stand on things. It's important. I feel bad to loose you if you go private (of course you and I have never met).
Good luck. You have support from me, whatever you decide. I understand. Just hoping not to loose you entirely. I have also enjoyed the support you offer on my blog :)
Oh and blogging takes a lot of time. I understand trying to find balance in life. Living it IS more important than writing and reading about it.
I totally understand what you're talking about and you gotta do what you gotta do.
If you decide to add readers that you've never met "face-to-face", I'd love to be added.
bummer! I love reading about your cute girls. Since mine and yours are so close in age, it's fun to see what Ash is up to. I understand though and feel the same way you do about the whole "change" thing.
I totally understand where you're coming from. None of my family or friends even know I have a blog & I am always scared that they will find me, or that a total stranger will recognize me in public. I use my blog as a sort of journal to record my kids' development & what's going on in our lives. I love being able to go back & read what I wrote one, two, three years ago. I have thought of going private & may just go ahead & do it. I don't even remember how I found your blog, but I've enjoyed checking in. Jenna & my daughter are the same age so it's been neat to see what she's been up to. I will miss reading your blog, but understand wanting your privacy since you don't know me at all.
Kelly-
I totally understand where you are coming from... that is why my blog is far from up to date. I know you will make the best decision for you and your family. I would hope you'd stay around a little though :)
oh being recognized would totally creep me out! And I totally understand 1 - how time consuming the blogging can be (and I only have 1!) and 2 - how the family is so one sided -- here we go out of our way to share ... but they can't even be bothered to comment .... I get frustrated too ... but then I think that this is really for us & the few people who do comment ... I hope that everything (and I do mean everything) goes well for you all ... and if you do keep blogging I'm excited to share it with you! :)
