I Am Invoking My First Amendment Rights

That's right.  I am talking about my right to privacy.

Since we've moved I have been feeling extremely out of the family loop.  And unless somebody wants to donate a private jet, there's not a whole lot that I can do about it.  One thing I can do though, is to remind my family to please update their blogs so I know what they are up to.  And call.  Calling is good.  Skype is better, but calling is good.  Another thing I can do is to make sure that my far-away friends and family have a way to see what we're up to.

But I have a problem.  I have this lovely blog, but it is open for the whole world to see, and the whole world has seen it.  At least, some of the whole world has seen it.  I have gotten hits from every continent, except Antarctica, but once penguins have access to the Internet, who knows?  Mostly, I think these are curious blog-hoppers, but still I don't want to share too much, and in some ways I think I already have.  So, I am doing a re-design.  This blog will be more like what I intended it to be in the first place, just me and my thoughts about motherhood with the occasional mention of my children and husband.

There will be a new blog, by invitation only, for the people who actually know me and want to know the mundane details of my life and my kids' lives...and my husband too I guess.  It will feature such exciting things as trips to the zoo and Logan's first tooth (which I'm sure is just around the corner....please please please be just around the corner!).

So, if you know me and would like an invite, you will know how to get in touch to arrange such things.

  1. This is exactly the reason why my blog became private- weird comments from weird people I don't know- although I actually don't know how to see where my hits are coming from so I don't know how widespread it was.

    Just be forewarned, once you go private, your blog updates will no longer show up in your friends' reading lists- so you'll have fewer comments and fewer readers. But if you remind us on this blog, or on facebook that you have a new post, people will remember more.

    (I say this because I miss getting comments from friends and family, and don't really know if people ever read mine anymore... but I guess it's mostly my "journal" anyway... still though, I miss the commentary)
