[…] like to say that it was like a couple of weeks ago when I wrote “Sometimes Our Disadvantages are Actually Blessings”. The thing is this wasn’t like that at all. I cannot think of a single good thing that came […]

In reply to Kristi Campbell. That was exactly my struggle, wanting to write about life but unable to talk openly about my children. Oh, actually that is still my struggle. We are compromising. They are accepting that their mother is a writer. She is who she is, and I am respecting their wishes to not have their problems broadcast. It's tough because as moms our kids are so important to us we think about them all the time!

I have so many broken links, too, especially since Top Mommy Blogs shut down – I used to be active there as well. I also used to put blogging (mostly) first but then I lost my way a little when I wanted to stop talking about my son as much (when he was three, he wasn’t talking and we thought it might be autism, but no diagnosis…anyway, back then I needed it. Now, he’s (mostly) fine and 10 years old so it feels unfair to talk about some of his challenges. So glad you linked up and I hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you’re making a great use of your time on the sofa!

In reply to Janine Huldie. Thanks! I’ve truly enjoyed this time to work on blogging. It’s been like an ah-ha moment. Ohhhh this is what I need to do more of. Sciatica yes mine started with a pregnancy too.

I can relate to sciatica as I have had it ever since I was pregnant with my second daughter almost 10 years ago. I go to the chirpractor to help keep the flareups to a minimal and also help me be on the mend quicker when I do have it flare. That said, I am also one of those bloggers you talk about that works from home. But I do try daily to get out even just to run a few errands to keep me moving as I can’t sit too long either. But glad you are finding your way back to your blog and hope you feel better soon now.
