A Confession

I am not one to air my dirty laundry,

but I will admit when I made a mistake

and 

own up to it

and 

apologize for it.

So,

here goes...

I cheated...

on you...

with another blog!

I know, I know.

I am sorry!

Terribly sorry!

And hope you can forgive me.

I cannot promise it won't happen again.

But I will follow my gut

and 

ask more questions up front!

I answered a request from a fellow

blogger when she asked for contributors

to her homeschool/homemaking blog.

I thought it sounded like fun,

more exposure.

Sure, why not, I will give it a shot.

Without any other information,

I told her I was interested in the opportunity 

and asked for more information.

The first thing she gave us 

was a schedule,

that had me and the other two new contributors

posting every 3 days!

Panic set in!

Can I commit to this?

How will I find the time?

What about topics?

How will I not overlap with my own blog?

How in the world am I going to keep up with that?

After I panicked a bit, 

I gave it a go

and

I pounded out my first 300-500 word posting for her

and I included a little blurb at the bottom

pointing people to my blog

for further discussion in a few weeks.

I asked her to review it and make sure

it was in line with what she was looking for.

No response.

So I waited and checked her blog to see if it was posted.

It was...

When the posting went live,

I was excited to see

me & my blog

on another blog!

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear?

She had removed the reference and link

to my blog.

I was crushed!

I had already been struggling with the thought 

of being able to keep up with her requests 

for posts...

and a whole bunch of other nonsense hit the fan

this week.

My plate was over flowing and I was overwhelmed...

then that...

I honestly felt let down...

So I politely told her yesterday that I could

not handle everything I had going on 

and had to resign from her blog.

Which was the truth and my fear 

from the get go...

but,

I was willing to give it a shot because I thought it

would give me a little more exposure.

Why do I want more exposure?

I am not quite sure...

I am still trying to figure out what I want

out of this blog,

but for now,

it is a hobby 

and 

I enjoy writing/talking/rambling

and 

LOVE getting the feedback from you!

So I hope you guys will forgive me.

I will get back down to business this weekend.
