It's Over

I've taken a break from blogging after my last rant about the annoying pressure so many, including several bloggers in the mommy blogging world, were giving to vote for whom they were voting. I didn't want all my posts to become consumed by the election and my opinions like so many others' blog posts were becoming. Even my favorite bloggers were putting up 'funny' You Tube videos meant to insult a candidate (or, more accurately, their running mate- ahem!) or writing paragraphs in their blogs that made sweeping accusations about a candidate based on news snippets taken out of context. I know we all have a right to our opinions on the matter, but I don't read mommy blogs to get smacked in the face with politics, and I don't think I'm alone in that. Therefore, I decided to lay low and take a break from blogging so as not to add any more negativity and political chatter to the blog-o-sphere (does anyone use that term anymore?).

Now that the election is over, I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I hope we can all make a fresh start -- our country AND the mommy blogging world. I'm hoping, too, that I can finally go back to writing posts about something truly important: me! ;-)
