I've never posted here because, well, I've been waiting for the next "delurk" day, but I couldn't wait any longer. I had to let you know that I read all your posts, weekend or not. Your posts always provide me with a pick me up (because your son is adorable) and I appreciate your honest, no BS version of how life truly is for you (as well as most of us who refuse to admit it). Thank you for that.

I never understood the no-weekend-posting rule! And I'm leaving this comment to prove that :)

Have a great Sunday!

Raven

I'm always around and would post on weekends too but people don't read them (as you mentioned) so why let something get lost in the shuffle that I can postpone until the week?

I hope he is feeling much better now!

Angella

I broke the rule yesterday. Look at us, living on the edge!

That first photo melted me. I'm a sucker for a pouting baby.

C @ Kid Things

I don't post on the weekend, either, but I do read.

Mrs. D

Yay for weekend posts!! Super cute photos. Hope your little cutie is feeling all better.

Kate

I read (and occasionally post) on the weekends! Sometimes that the only chance I get!

Love his sad little face. So sweet. Hope he's feeling all smiley again.

Lindsey

Oh, I just posted, and I think that rule is ridiculous. What AM I supposed to read on a Saturday afternoon if all my bloggers are out enjoying life? Hmph.

Rhi

I was going to post today, and then I started to think that nobody would read it anyway. So, I'm laying on the couch instead.

barbetti

What? People don't post on weekends? There goes at least half of my posts.

And what else am I going to do while I wait to see that stupid New Moon movie?

Also, Kyle's face breaks my heart. Last week, when D had his I-am-gassy-so-I-will-scream-for-three-hours-straight fest, I took a photo of it and I can't bring myself to post his little, pain-stricken face.

Jen L.

What a sweetpea.

I actually run a weekly feature on my blog on Saturdays! I'm a rebel, I tell ya. Plus, I'm doing NaBloBlowMeMoFoBloPop (known by some as NaBloPoMo), so I'm posting every day this month.

Steph!

Read this. Smiled and swooned. :)

Shauna

Omg no, I actually hate the no blogging rule on weekends! I hate having no new material from my favorite bloggers on the weekends, hah.
And how freaking cute/heart breaking is that sad face?!

hollylynne

I read it!!! (Although I've got to admit to not posting on the weekends.)
Kyle's "I miss mom" aka "flu sucks" face just kills me. Such woe! But cute woe!

Rachel

So sad and so worn out!! Too cute! :) And I read it too!

Jess

Aww, what a tragic little face to stumble across on your memory card. So cute!

TUWABVB

I love the cheeks in the first picture! You've got both extremes in those two picture - but he's still precious even when crying.

Sara @ Belle Plaine

Did you go scoop him up and smooch him all over after seeing those pictures? I would have :)

Also, I am such a loser that I posted on Saturday. At midnight. If that's not a hoppin' social life then I don't know what is.

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
