2 Thoughts

It's 9:30 AM on a Sunday morning and I should be at church right now. Instead, I am blogging, making myself breakfast, and thinking about going to someone else's church. This is where my first thought comes in to play. I can wake up every morning in the summer between 7 and 8 AM, but when it comes to Sunday morning, I fail! I wake up and it's usually after 9. Then I get mad at myself because I failed yet again. I know the answer is to set an alarm, but I usually wake up on time! I guess this means alarm time. *sigh*

And that brings me to my second thought even though there is really no connection between that thought and this thought.

I feel like nobody reads my blog. Maybe I need to blog about more interesting things. Or post more. Be funnier. Or have a kid. But the truth of the matter is this: I feel like my life is mostly boring and uninteresting. That's why I don't post as often as I should. I feel like I am fairly funny in real life, but it takes so much effort to make my writing that funny and I would rather be watching TV. Or reading. Or scrapbooking. Or going on a walk outside. Or cleaning my giant mess of a classroom (more on that later). And I just don't have a kid so that's the end of that thought.

And a giant shout out to my father - Happy Father's Day! You always have an answer for everything, even if you need to do some research. And you are always willing to do that. Love you.

*Maybe if you do read this at some point, you can just leave a little shout out so I can feel the love...?

I read your blog!!! And I never find it boring :) I just don't always comment...but I totally understand what you're saying and wish people would comment on my blog so I knew people were reading it...so maybe I should start commenting on other people's blogs too :)

I read too! I'm just always in such a rush when I'm reading that I don't usually have the chance to comment! :) Keep blogging, Nicole! And get an alarm clock, silly! :)

Thanks for posting! I always read your blog too. If you need help in your classroom, I would love to come help sometime.

I read, in fact, I like reading your blog and seeing what you're up to. I don't mind leaving a bit of love, but then I feel like a stalker. and Sundays we struggle getting up and getting to church on time. I guess it's the fact that Sunday is a day of rest- literally.

Lesly said...

Oh and I really liked the year you did the whole photo a day thing. That was a cool idea.

I read it! I'm new to your blog but I just haven't started commenting on it yet. I'm not a big comment-er but i totally know how you feel I feel like no one reads mine since I rarely get comments either. let me know if you have the answer.

I read it!

I read it occasionally but usually only comment on things I feel like I can relate to or have something to say about! I do feel when I comment on other people's blogs frequently they're more apt to reciprocate, but I haven't had a lot of time to do so lately!

I know exactly how you feel! I have felt the same way in the last several months. I read your blog and enjoy it, I just have gotten out of the habit on commenting on anybody's blog because, well, like you said, I feel like I really don't have anything interesting to say, and I feel my life is boring, well, not to me, but I feel like to others it could definitely be. Don't stop, We are reading! :O)

Hi Nicole this is your Dad, I love to read your Blog It's wonderful, and Yes I love you. Thanks for calling me to wish me a happy fathers day also. I'm going to read the Blog more often. I'm old school so I don't always know how to get into the sight and read the Blog. I usually read it when your Mom gets on and it's open. I know that sounds kind of dumb, wow do I feel old. So now I'm more determined to get into this Blog sight and read up on everything. I wish I was there in Utah all my kids live in Utah now, except for Kendall. I asked your Mom how to post a comment she is much better at this than I am so There's a good chance that this will come through. Love you again
Dad

I read it too. Maybe some day I will get a google account so you will know who I am :)

Melissa said...

I often feel the same way, but I am not very good at commenting on people's blogs when I read them. Keep posting, there are readers and you will be so glad that you have the record of your lives at this time.

I read it! I feel the same. My blog hasn't been pulling in the traffic it used to. I need to remedy that somehow...after I've moved into the house and I get back to 'normal'.

I read your blog! And I agree with Lesly that I loved your photo each day!
