And, Jennifer, you give the same exact advice my mom does . . . and you BOTH have successful (much more so than mine) blogs. So, I just need to keep hammering that into my head!Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-30934041010505443772009-11-17T07:35:44.002-06:002009-11-17T07:35:44.002-06:00Please don't quit!!

Please, please don't stop.<br /><br />I love the pictures and animal encounters.

I enjoy reading your stories.

Sorry! And I totally understand how much time it takes away from all the other daily stuff that has to get accomplished. I would still probably be blogging infrequently if it weren't for that "nudge" from my mom. <br />Take all the time you need Chicken Mama -- you gotta make yourself happy first, right?<br />(Love that little porcupine pic in your header too!)RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-87834482713653480712009-11-16T07:50:52.615-06:002009-11-16T07:50:52.615-06:00Okay, okay, okay!!!

No, seriously, it...Okay, okay, okay!!! Geesh! ;)<br /><br />No, seriously, it is a HUGE help to know that people ARE actually reading this (yes, besides you, Mom). I'm going to print these comments out and stick it up next to the computer so that I am reminded, whenever I'm feeling down about having nothing interesting to write, that you all are out there. (Although, STILL, three of you five commenters [commentors?] are relatives!)<br /><br />Oh, and Claire, if I posted like you do, all I WOULD post are pictures & video! Ha! ;p (But keep 'em comin'! I love seeing my 'nephew'!!!) And, I WILL check out that book - thanks!<br /><br />I'm still holding my figurative breath about participating in the birth experience until it actually happens. I've been in this situation at least once (twice?) before when I was "promised" a ring-side seat and then, as WILL happen, of course, said mommy didn't want any extraneous people in the room. And, while I TOTALLY understand that, I was REALLY, REALLY disappointed. That said, I do feel quite confident about this one. :) I know that both the mom & dad-to-be are counting on me to be there.Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-17902346342524231532009-11-16T06:37:32.995-06:002009-11-16T06:37:32.995-06:00Hi Chicken Mama!

I love reading about your home and the animals, and I am only 2 pages in! My husband has even been reading as he is really interested in your off the grid "inner workings", LOL. We hope someday to do the same once he retires from the Navy and we move back home to MN. You will love, love, love the birth experience! My kids were both C-section so I never got to experience that, but a couple of years ago my best friend gave birth while her husband was deployed overseas and I got to be her partner... it was the most incredible thing and I will forever be grateful for that! My only complaint was that hers was a "soap opera" birth, went way too fast! ( I am sure she feels differently, lol!)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-49687636265265194692009-11-15T17:35:49.089-06:002009-11-15T17:35:49.089-06:00Nope, not accepting it!

I HIGHLY recommend in prep for your newest adventure of attending a birth.

I personally vote for more frequent entries, not less.<br /><br />(Just go ahead, swallow your pride and hire that housekeeper, cook, bookkeeper, maid, shopper, errand-runner, homestead general handyman etc., etc. so you can spend more time each day blogging.)<br /><br />Affectionately,<br />Your motherMama Pea Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449138881131132555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-27175736868314775412009-11-15T15:56:20.918-06:002009-11-15T15:56:20.918-06:00Hey, I read (or last least check) your blog every ...Hey, I read (or last least check) your blog every day!

Do what you need to do about your time, but don't feel like nobody reads you! Do you have a counter on your blog? I do (from statcounter), and you can go into the background data to see exactly when and where all your pageloads come from. So, even when I don't have comments, I do know that about 10 people actually read my blog most days.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.com
