1. First and foremost: I think blogger is dying out. Unless you're a preggo or new mom of course. Then apparently for the masses your blog is worth reading. Mine these days...not so much. And of course it's never "good enough" for blogger of the month. Too much pressure to please!
2. I am concerned with my youngest child's develpments. I'm sure it's paranoia. Call me crazy. But Elijah is not even close to being able to sit up on his own. In fact he just learned days earlier to roll over*...and he's days shy of being six months. Gabe was practically sitting up on his own and rolled over by four months. But he has popped bottom teeth. And I know everyone says not to be concerned so much with milestones...especially with the second since they become more lazy (so I've heard). But still...what mother isn't worried or concnerned OR plagued by doubtful thoughts when it's her child? I rest my case.
*Much to my dispair I missed this one. I need to be home more with my kids.
3. I am leaving for Maine to be in my sister's wedding. Me and the boys. Justin can't go. This is bittersweet as I absoultely cannot wait to see my family. They haven't seen the boys since Elijah was just a month old. I miss them and will be in Maine from May 24th-June 3rd.
4. Which brings my to my next random contemplation. My sister is getting married soon. I will be gone on Justin and my 4th year anniversay. I don't know how I feel about all this.
5. My maid of honor dress will be in any day. I am praying that it fits. Don't have to look good....just fit. Apprently they run REALLY small. And I'm stubborn and refused to order the size they reccommended. And if you knew it you'd refuse to. Out of principle.
6. I love my job. Being in the real world after 2+ years of being sheltered between these walls has opened my eyes to how ridiculous ppl can be.
7. I am far too trusting of complete strangers.
8. I've received thus far from my near three months of work: 1 marriage proposal (third party you could say), 1 drink, and 1 dinner. People must be clueless to what I so proudly refer to as "the rock." Or as Justin says...ppl don't care.
9. I have finally stopped working 35+ hr weeks and have now been placed on 20-30 hr weeks. This makes me very happy.
10. I frequently wonder why no one ever comments on my blog anymore. Perhaps I too am what some have referred to as a "melencholy blogger." I constantly remind myself...it's not personal. It's blogger. Which incidently closes my random contemplations.
So perhaps I too am on the blogging fritz. What once started April 2005 may be slowly dying out in 2007. Who knows what the future will bring for blogger....perhaps all I need to do to illilcit viewers/comments is get pregnant. That seems to do the trick! Eh, who knows. Just for the record: I will not succumb to peer pressure. I WILL remain un-pregnant. For a very looooong time. Perhaps forever. To be confirmed at a later date.
Call me synical and sarcastic if you will. But these are, as I say, my random contemplations.

I still read Jess! I just don't often leave comments. I understand your frustration tho, I don't always seem to have readers either.
Oh, and I wouldn't worry about Elijah (tho what I would do doesn't really matter, you're the mom and you're worried). Hana doesn't roll. She can, she has, she just doesn't. She sits tho, so we hold on to that. Maybe he's just been so focussed on pushing out teeth he hasn't had time to learn other things.
Another Rader baby! What a great idea! (Let me remind you it was your idea... and why are you so sure you will remain unpregnant for a very long time, maybe forever??? Not too long ago I seem to recall a certain comment you left on my blog. In fact, let me quote... "*sigh* the baby fever is contagious")
I often check in to see if there is anything new to read. Sometimes I comment - sometimes i don't have time, or brain power.
So keep blogging. I can't sleep these days and was up the other night at 3am looking for something to read online....nobody had updated their blog. Be that for me Jess..be that.
P.S. I think guys like flirting and hitting on women who wear wedding rings....I think they do it on purpose. Keep putting them in their place..and telling Justin about it so you both know 'you've still got it girl'.....:)
I read your blog too, Jess. I've also noticed a lull in readership...maybe it's the warm weather keeping people away from their computers...? Keep writing and showing us pics of your precious boys.
Hey Jess, I read your blog. I must admit however that I don't tend to comment, and I know that's not good, so I am now commenting. Keep writing. I love to hear what is going on with you and Justin and your boys.
I like your blog too. I think it SHOULD be nominated for blogger of the month sometimes. Whoever organizes that thing is an airhead!
I think facebook has a bit to do with the drop in readership. In addition, the fact that blogroller doesn't work so often makes it too time consuming to check everyone's blog.
Jess, I relate to the "unless you're preggo or a new mom" bit...
also to the "melancholy" accusations, I've gotten those. "Jo your blog is so 'emo'." endquote.
Anyway, I don't read/comment much on anybody's blogs anymore. Basically because I felt like I don't "fit in," and was just making a spectacle of myself.
When I have stopped by here, I have enjoyed your blogging because it's realistic, honest, and not pollyanna-ish. So, kudos to you on that!
I hear you on the Matron of Honor dress!!! My best friend got married in January.... I was comfortable in a 10... and the lady there said it looked good! But Katie wanted me to be in a 12... the dress was way to big, and I was walking on it all day... my boobs were too small for the bust... it was AWEFUL!!! I still have to way to big dress!!!!
I check your blog EVERY day!! I just hardly leave comments for anyone anymore, because my class had me so tied up...but that's over now! And don't worry about elijah...AJ didn't rooll over until seven and a half months, and Jadon didn't sit up until almost seven months (he was a big boy, and very top heavy with his massive head!). Glad you're liking work! Enjoy those crazy people for me...I need a job. I have cabin fever.
i too, read your blog. i like it when you post. it seems that people don't post much anymore. keep it up. i like to know what's going on with you.
I too, like all the rest do read your blog, but often I am at work and not able to comment... something about the group policies.
And I completely understand no one wanting to read your blog if your not a Mom or Pregnant!!! prob'ly by the time I am, blogs will be extinct!! anyway, I read, I enjoy, I'm challenged, and I'm encouraged...dont stop
