My Evaluation

So, a little over a month ago I decided to go private on my blog. I was feeling self concious about anyone and everyone reading things about my life without knowing who it was. So, like I said I decided to test the waters of "private life" and switch to the other side, and if I hated it, I'd go public again.

So here's the pro's and con's of being private:

Pro's

-You know everyone who reads your blog

-Your blog isn't the first thing to pop up on Google if you Googled your name

-Because you know who's reading your blog you may feel more inclined to share more details of your life: where you live, when your going on vacation, naked pictures of your baby ect. (but to be honest, I don't anyways...)

Cons

-Restricts being able to let people know when your blog has been updated.

-Less readers and less comments. (we all know blogging is all about the readers and the comments!)

-Having to invite people to your blog instead of hoping they just "fall upon it" or having it be word of mouth. Sending out an email (or even finding their email) is just one more thing you have to do.

I can't decide which is better. To be honest, I'm leaning towards going public again. What do you think? I've added a poll to my sidebar. I realize everyone who is able to vote already has access to my blog, thus not really caring either way perhaps, but everyone's got an opinion...and thats all I'm looking for!

The day has arrived

Oh my gosh. It finally happened.

Emmett started to cough and choke a little so I went over to investigate. Squeezed his cheeks and stuck my finger in his mouth to see what was inside. Out popped this...

Yes, a dead potato bug. Is it mean to wash your kids' mouth out with soap at this age?

Just kidding. But I think I'm going to go vomit now.

PS. Not 2 seconds after I got done posting the above,... I looked over at his quiet self in the corner and found him holding a tube of medicine that had been sitting on the arm of the couch. (he's got a longer reach than I thought) It looks like a small toothepaste tube, except the difference is the cap doesn't screw on, it's just "placed on". So he'd taken off the cap and was sucking on that. At least he'd decided not to suck on the other end.

AHH!!
