So… as any of you who are regulars here (by the way did I mention how much I love and appreciate each and every one of you?) will have noticed, I’ve missed a day of posting. Two now actually… I am now officially a Blog365 Dropout, and I am feeling much more relaxed as a result.
Here are some reasons why I dropped out…
- The creator of Blog365 dropped out. I heard this one through reading Reba’s blog. (Sorry I’ve not been commenting as much sweety!)
- At the end of the day, it doesn’t *really* matter, it’s just a blog, just a little space for ME, no one else.
- I don’t get paid for it, so why should I feel I MUST post every day?
- I ran out of things to write oh… about 3 months ago?
- Max is teething. BADLY. That means exceedingly clingy baby who screams most of the time.
- It was starting to get to me that I wasn’t writing anything of any substance.
- The PPD has been rearing it’s head a little more recently, something I wasn’t expecting and was unsure of how to deal with.
- Did I mention Max is teething? Yes? Well it deserves a second mention, it is not just one, but his TWO top front teeth coming through. Ouch!
- I don’t need to blog every single day for a year to make a point.
- I have definitely got into the habit of posting now - I won’t lose that, just won’t do it every day.
- Sometimes I just can’t be bothered to look at the computer at the end of the day.
- I’m sick of writing ‘fillers’ which are no more interesting for anyone to read than they are for me to post!
- I saw Sandy’s badges and decided I HAD to have one!
My name is Marylin, and I’m a Blog365 Dropout.

Thinking of you.

No worries about not commenting. It’s nice to know you’re around.
I thought you missed yesterday. Ironically, now that I’ve “given up” Blog 365 on an official basis, I’ve come home and wanted to blog. And today I posted twice in one day (one pre-written and set to auto-post; one “freshly posted.” And I really enjoyed it.
I’m glad to hear you’re in the bloggy habit. I would hate for you to disappear on me.

Oh sweetie, I’m so sorry to hear about the teething and PPD. By all means, you certainly know what is best for yourself and family, and they should always come first. Your readers will be here no matter your a member of blog365 or not
Kudos to you for knowing your limits and having the courage to walk away.
So glad you nabbed a badge!

Some things just require more attention than blogging. I would have done the same thing.

I dropped out too, but because I just didn’t get a feeling of fellowship from it.

I’m not doing it anymore either. Well, I am on my photoblog, but not on the other one.
(((HUGS))) are you on the medication still?

I am so relaxed since I dropped out in february. And I think my content is better when I don’t HAVE to post.

You have done wonderful to make it this far, i done NoBloPoMo and loved it but at the end of the month was completly burnt out, i could never make it this far. Life is so much more important , and well teething is definetly the definition of hell. Hope Max and you are feeling better soon
[Reply]
You are a champion to have made it this far.. teething is horrible. I think I should have followed my grandmother’s advice and rubbed their gums with brandy.. then had a big swig myself lol
