I'm done here.
This place started out as a way of keeping family and friends updated on our daily lives after we moved to a state far away. It served that purpose, I suppose.
This place then morphed into a therapeutic and entertaining space for me to brain-dump, bitch and moan or to even just blather on about how much I love my kids. It was also kind of fun, too.
The truth is that these days, no one really gives a flying fuck WHAT we're doing anymore. It's been almost 4 years since we moved and out of sight, out of mind. And that's okay with me...now. It's not fun or therapeutic anymore and I have all but abandoned writing for all the wrong reasons. And I want to do it again, but not here.
The truth is that I made some friends here that I have never even met face to face. I am so lucky and happy to have "met" them. They've been supportive and wonderful.
The truth is I feel I have a lot more to say, but don't want to say it here. I want more privacy; anonymity. I want my therapy back and tired of having to edit myself because of the potential audience. I long for authenticity and the freedom to use it to my own advantage without the pain in the ass that can be those who want to use it against me.
This is my good-bye to this place: a place of incredible love and therapy and friendship when looking at it through rose colored glasses. Good-bye to vitriol and editing and mean anonymoususes who really are not so. I don't ever want to delete this space because then I'd be deleting my truth and my love for my babies which should always remain, even when I leave.
If you want to find me again, shoot me an email or a comment. Thanks for listening. XO

I'm sad to see you go. I'll miss your view of the world and your eloquent and funny words. You have a unique way of seeing things that I truly appreciated.
don't leave me behind! I'll follow you wherever you may roam (write...;)
I'm sad to see you stop writing here, but I totally understand what you are saying. I've enjoyed this friendship. I hope you'll still be on Facebook. My very best to you.
wow, you said just what i've been thinking!! i have so much to say but i don't want everyone that i know personally to read it. at least that's what i felt like you were saying. go you and i hope to find you out in blog land!
I keep checking your blog and when you finally update it is to say Goodbye. You always made me laugh...
I really wish we would have seen each other while you were here..Hugs women!!!
Oh girl. How I will miss your posts. Your blog is the very first I ever started following, and truly the only reason I joined the big old blogosphere. You inspired me by being so open about the realities of being a mom, a wife, a woman. You taught me that it's okay to not be perfect. To cuss in front of your kids. To laugh at yourself:) You will be missed.
I get it, I really do. I have been hiding in my blog as well. I don't really want EVERYONE to know my business. However, I will miss the way you play with words. My your life be blessed.
Blogging is very hard to keep up with, especially with kids. I started one several years ago and am not doing a god job at keeping it up. Honestly, I just don't want to put the time into doing so. I did want to pass along this Mom's Guide to caring for kids teeth. It has great ideas on how to keep kids teeth healthy. I hope you find it helpful too. http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/
I can't figure out how to write you directly.
I understand and I wish the best to all of you.
Beyond that, I have a few of your storage containers that need to be returned. Or not. Let me know.
Love ya!
I totally understand. But I will miss you!!! If you start writing somewhere else (and you should) will you post your email on your blog so we can contact you for an invitation?
Thanks again, guys. I haven't started a new blog yet, but my email is klriddle@comcast.net. Hope to hear from you again! xo
