Here's the Story

I was on the settings page, thinking about adding my blog to the listings and changing my settings so search engines could find me and wondering if I should enable transliteration, when the microwave beeped.
The corndogs were ready.
I got up from the computer, leaving the settings page on the screen.
Meici was in the kitchen staring at the microwave.
I got the corndogs out and then placed them back in the freezer to cool off.
Meici and I started counting down, 10-9-8-7-6-5-4 -3-2-1... CORN DOG TIME!!!
No not yet Meici, now do it in Chinese, yi-er-san-si-wu-liu-chi-ba-jiu-shi!
Okay now they're ready, here's your corn dog, but where's Evan, he never misses the corn dog countdown.
I walk down the hall and find him at the computer; he better not have posted some of my unfinished drafts, that would be terrible.

Little did I know that he could do much worse than post my draft about how Chinese cab drivers asked me to teach them naughty English words, and all I could come up with were poopsicle and jabberwocky.

He could do much worse.

Have you noticed that the DELETE THIS BLOG button is big and blue and one of the only clickable buttons on that settings page?
Well it is.
I know he's only 3 and a half but he can work a mouse like a four year old. Probably because he spends hours and hours every day popping virtual bubble wrap.

I keep telling myself that he didn't mean it, that is was only an accident.
He knows the word "Dog" starts with a D, so maybe he thought by clicking the DELETE button, he would get a puppy.

But I can't help but think he knew exactly what he was doing. Maybe this was his way of saying, "Mom, that's enough!"

So, I'm going to take this as a sign and see what my life would be like without blogging.
Part of me is saying, "But Mary, a blogless life is not worth living!!!"
But the other part is saying, "Yes, she's absolutely right; you listen to her Mary! BLOG, NOW! "
But the two most important parts of me, the parts that are pulling on my arms and legs right now demanding to be fed, are saying "Feed me!"
Maybe I was spending too much time in front of the computer.
Do you want to know what we had for dinner last week?
Sandwiches, cereal and leftover cereal.
I think it's time for me to start getting my priorities straight. My family deserves a little Pasta Roni every once in a while.

I'll be back, I promise.

Blog Suicide Perhaps?

Suicide? Are you kidding me? That glob of blog was a rising star.
Had you noticed how many followers it had up until it's death?
Thousands!
And every single one of it's posts had at least a couple hundred comments; even that post announcing the return of egg nog.
I even heard it was approaching it's 200th post and had something so amazing planned that all the other blogs would be telling their blogkids about it for decades to come.
This blog was so weak and in love with attention, it never even thought about thinking about committing suislog.

No, this blog was... murdered!






I'll tell you all what happened someday, but right now it's too hard to type through the tears.
I should really get back to my crying corner.
