Bloggoversary
July 23rd, 2007 by FiddledeedeeThis week marks my blog’s one year anniversary. I’m not sure which actual day it was, because I inadvertently deleted my first post during my latest blog makeover, but I think it was July 23rdish.
Spell check just has a field day with me when I remember to use it.
I started blogging mostly because I wanted to journal about the antics of my children. So I could have a record and hold it over their collective heads someday. “Do you see WHY mommy is crazy?” And also so that when they are in therapy, they can get the facts straight.
Just kidding. Sort of.
One year ago. I made the decision to post once weekly. Well, that lasted about a week. Then it became twice weekly. That lasted another week. Before I knew it I was a full blown blogging addict posting five times a week, taking weekends off.
Usually I write a post at night, set it for auto-post, and go to bed. But not last night. The only thing I had on my mind was a warm wash cloth. I may have gotten a hold of some bad lettuce. Green and wilted described more than the lettuce. ‘Nuff said.
And I felt guilty. Not for eating the lettuce, but for not posting something last night. I’ve brought it on myself. Because I’m an over achiever.
Our homeschool year is going to be much more demanding of my time, and that’s the way it should be. So, I may not post every single day. And I’m sure my twitching will stop eventually.
And I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support this last year. I have “met” some absolutely amazing women through this blog. I am blessed by you and your wonderful comments. Currently, I have 956 e-mails in my box. Mostly comments from the last month. Why? Because it is my intention to either answer each one personally or leave a comment on your blog.
I’m insane.
Do you see what I mean about this overachieving business?
Anyhoo, thank you again for this last year. And I look forward to many more.

Well, very happy bloggoversary to you fiddledeedee! (you should see what spell check thinks of that sentence)
I suggest that this next school year you just make the decision to sleep a lot less and give your bloggy fans even more time. Yes, that sounds much better than your idea.

Happy Bloggy Anniversary! You’re awesome!
July 23rd, 2007 at 7:04 am
Well congratulations Fiddledeedee! You have posted some very good stuff in the pasty year. You just reminded me that I neglected to celebrate my two year bloggversary over the 4th. It’s easy to let the blog own you. I know.

Congrats on your bloggoversary
( wow what a crazy word!) Blogging is a fun outlet, hobby for us busy, overworked moms.
Happy Blogging to you! I do enjoy your blog.
July 23rd, 2007 at 7:30 am
I love your blog! I visit every time you have something new (thank goodness for bloglines).
So congratulations! Thanks for doing this! And consider yourself FREED. That’s Free-ed. You don’t owe me a thing. Don’t worry about a comment OR an email or whatever. Just enjoy the bloggiversary … or spell check.

Happy Blogiversary! I always look forward to your posts and never expect a response in return. So yes, consider yourself freed from me, too! Hope you are feeling better today!
July 23rd, 2007 at 8:32 am
Wow, that’s commitment! And congrats on your anniversary!

Dear Overachiever,
Don’t post something fabulous everyday and don’t respond to every email.
Or else you just make the rest of us feel bad.
So do us all a favor and become a slacker!!
I’m surprised you’re only a year old…you’re such a pro I figured you’d been blogging since blogging began. You’re brilliant and hilarious and I wish you’d post every single day.
Just kidding.
Don’t do it.
The year my kids were 8,6,5,4 was my toughest year of my homeschooling; similar to where you’ll be this year. So take a break from all you can in order to be filled up for those amazing kids!

I big puffy heart your blog. I’m already starting to twitch. I should probably start a support group or something. Just don’t disappear!! There have been two blogs that have up and shut it down that I’m still trying to recover from.
July 23rd, 2007 at 8:46 am
Congratulations!! I love reading your blog. Best wishes with the homeschooling…just don’t stay gone too long! We’ll miss you!! Happy Bloggoversary!
July 23rd, 2007 at 9:26 am
Happy Bloggoversary! Your blog is one of my weekly must reads (I try to check daily - but we homeschool too!)
July 23rd, 2007 at 9:56 am
Happy Anniversary!!
Yes, the homeschooling definitely comes first, so we will be understanding if you don’t post every day.
We start our new year tomorrow.

Okay, I want to say Happy Blogoversary, but then I feel guilty about adding to your inbox!!! Then again, of course I WANT you to stop by, or email, or whatever…. Well, if you do decide to stop by, at least you know there will be cake!
July 23rd, 2007 at 10:27 am
Happy, Happy Anniversary! You’re one of my favorites!

I never thought I’d become an addict, either, but here I am, full fledged and ready for blogging rehab!

Happy One Year!! And what a fantastic year it has been. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you through your posts. I can totally relate to the being addicted thing. I’m going on vacation and still planning on blogging…lol.

Happy Anniversary! You’re so full of life and you give us all plenty of reasons to smile. Thanks for sharing the everyday with us, but if you start posting less that’s okay too. Enjoy!

Happy bloggeversary (or however you spell it)!
I don’t know how I’d live without your blog. I really don’t. The fact that I have up until recently means nothing to me. NOTHING!

Happy Anniversary. My heart warmed when I read “and many more….”
Well done, DeeDee!
