There was a time in my life that I needed to blog. I needed the creative outlet it provided for me, and me alone. This was a blog about my life...sure the kids and the husband were part of that, because my whole life revolved around them. But ultimately, it was about me.

Selfish, selfish woman.

Now, I'm divorced and I don't have time to blog. This sits out here is cyberspace collecting cyberdust and probably cybermothballs. Every so often I throw it a bone and type something on it, (yes I know I just mixed my metaphors, go with me now) but it's more of a guilt trip than anything. 'Remember that poor defenseless blog that you started and then just up and abandoned?'...that's what I hear calling to me, mocking me.

And do you want to know why I have abandoned it? Because I feel like before I wanted people seeing what my life was like, and now I don't. I'm a divorced mother of three great kids. But my life is more about me now than it ever was before. I don't need this blog as a reminder of what a failure I am as a mother because I simply don't have the time to devote to them that I once had. I have school. And homework out the wazoo. And a social life....which in all fairness is a once a week outing that I take for my personal sanity. But I don't get to play with them like I once did, I don't make cool dinners, or bake cookies, or do crafts, or go on outings, or any of the cool things you see on every other Mormon Mommy Blog. Divorce sucks worst for the kids.

So until such time as I have something more positive to report, my poor little abandoned blog is destined to remain abandoned.
