Can keeping up a blog actually teach you anything? I believe it can!! Looking at my activity on here in the last year shows me several things. 1) Having a newborn takes up alot of time!! 2) Using flicker to up load photos was really not worth the time. I was starting to question my blog and the purpose of it. As I have read, alot of bloggers go through this.
In the past month we have had a problem with Internet Explorer on our computer. It's a weird situation where all the blogs are stuck on one day. Because of #1 above I do not check my regular blogs as often as I used to and would like to. So it took me about a month to realize that it was not just coincidental that EVERYONE was not blogging for the whole month. It wasn't until I went to the news one day to keep up with the happenings in the world that I clued in. Hay!! It is not possible that the news stays the same as two weeks ago is it??? Nahhhh, I didn't think so.
Long story short. Some problems end up being blessings. I have now discovered the amazing abilities Google Chrome has over Explorer. The number one ability is that it can download pictures for me onto my blog no problem!!! So maybe this sounds really pathetic to you techies out there. Maybe I should have used Chrome a LONG time ago - I don't really know.
Lately, I have discovered that I don't know alot ESPECIALLY when it comes to keeping up with technology and teens. My teens teach me so much that it humbles me - almost every day I learn new tech talk like: twerking (look that one up, I'm not sure why it exists), Hash-tag (really?? - makes sense but sounds odd) and Amazon drones (scary - what if something falls on your head??!!) . I'm okay with them knowing more stuff like that than me. I'm going to have to be. It is the way it is. I guess I could be more on top of things and be a more "cooler" Mom but that's not me for a hundred different reasons. In a way it connects us as they take me by the hand and express their knowledge to me, and at the same time I am a little nostalgic and sad about it because gone are the days when in their eyes I knew everything. I was the ultimate vending machine of wisdom. I'm not in a total depression about it - thankfully, I have other little ones that still need this ol' machine. The teenagers do too - even though they would never admit it. Smile :) - being a Mom is a blessing, and it's a great career because you can never complain that your life is static and boring.
Conclusion? You may be hearing more from me - Baby is getting older and pictures are downloading faster. Things are changing and change can be a good thing. Even if it doesn't make sense at the time.
God is good with things like that.
I'd hash tag these two any day!!!
