I didn't realize that an entire month had past since I last looked at my blog. I feel terrible and at the same time some what liberated. You see, I think that I have put myself under too much pressure to be do it all and be super mom and super wife. I knew that putting myself under that kind of stress put me in danger of a burnout and finally it happened. I stopped looking at my blog and in turn that made me neglect reading blogs (sorry about that). I stopped knitting and instead I picked up my crochet hook; I even stopped spinning. In fact, I don't want to knit or spin anything all I want to do is hook (crochet). I'm not quite sure what emotions are fueling this strike of mine but they are very strong, which is ashame since I have that awesome spinning wheel to play with and all these beautiful patterns to knit but all I can think about is crocheting my daughter a colorful blanket. I would post some pictures but my blogging strike is not entirely over and I will do so when I feel less hostile/lazy towards blogging and just so you know it's not because of Ravelry because quite frankly, I have been avoiding that too. I'm sorry for the bad attitude. I will leave you with what I did accomplish on my wheel before I went on strike.
Next time I promise I'll have a better attitude. ;)

Oh, my friend. You certainly don't have to feel bad about it! It is good that you are making choices that are good for you - a blog is a BLOG - not anyone that you have to answer to. Enjoy your family and all the good things that you are doing.
My dear, don't ever beat up on yourself for what you feel like doing or not doing; that is what makes you the person you are, and it is ok. Crochet a beautiful blanket for your daughter if that's what you want - no guilt allowed anymore!
We're all entitled to a bad mood once in a while. That green yarn you have spun is quite beautiful. It would be a shame to give up on something like that. I hope your inspiration returns.
Can't wait to see the colorful blanket for your daughter. I love to knit--I love to crochet--but can't do it all at once. Enjoy your kiddos and your life--and blogland will be here whenever you can visit.
My feeling about blogging is that you should do what you want to and not apologize for it. While people will miss hearing from you, you have no obligation to entertain them. :)
Have fun doing what you what you find fun!
Don't feel bad at all, while I love to see what you have been up to, i don't want you to feel bad about it. I've been a blogging funk too lately... it happens. When your up to it I'd love to see your blanket! Also, that is some lovely handspun yarn you have there!
i totally agree with everyone else. and if you don't want to write. or read. that is okay! :)
enjoy yourself!
I have missed you, but I understand the blahhness. Do your thing! Whatever it is that strikes you at the moment. Its cool with me. :)
And I am just amazed by your spinning. Absolutely amazed. :)
