1) My legs hurt. Like crazy. It kind of feels like I just climbed a mountain. Scratch that- climbed a cliff- with out ropes and harnesses and all that jazz. All this, and I did no physical activity this weekend whatsoever. The only thing I can think of was the 20 kids we had in nursery yesterday with just the two of us (and a lame, do-nothing substitute), and all the crawling arond I did may have contributed to the misery I'm experiencing right now. Weird. And yes, I'm being slightly dramatic. But not much.
2) How is it that I can get ridiculously sunburnt on Saturday, and on Sunday afternoon, there's 3 inches of snow outside? This weather is crazy, and maybe contributing to my leg pains.
3) I'm seriously thinking about taking this blog private. Not because I'm afraid someone is going to stalk me and find out where I live, and come steal my fruit snacks, but because you never know who's looking at it, and I want to have an outlet that is separate from work. I'm already friends with lots of work people on facebook, which means I can't post any thing too personal on there, and I really would like to have a place that I can talk about certain things that are happening with us right now, without the fear that everyone at works knows my private business. Make sense? SO, here's the thing. I HATE PRIVATE BLOGS because I feel like they leave people out that would otherwise benefit from knowing what's going on in your life, but here I am, jumping on the bandwagon. I don't at ALL want to exclude ANYONE from my blog, except work people, because some part of my life has to be remotely private right? But it doesn't need to be private from any of you...
So please put a comment on this post with your email address so I can add you onto the list. Don't even think for one second that I don't want you looking at my blog, because I do. That's why I go to so much effort. It's not for one or two people, it's for everyone. So just leave your info for me, and we'll get it all set up.
Meanwhile, my Happy Heart blog will remain public. Just so you know.

I'm sorry about your legs, I understand crawling around with a bunch of nursery kids, but I don't think I ever had that many and I don't remember my legs ever hurting. P.S. I would love to still see your blog. I don't think I count as a work person anymore... my address is rachelmelinda@gmail.com
I was going to make my blog private, but then I saw a link for statcounter.com on a friend's blog. I got on the website and made an account. (It was easy.)It's pretty neat because it shows who (or atleast where they were) got on your site, how many times, and all that jazz. Its nice even if you still are going private. My email is JenniferL[LastName]@gmail.com. Doug doesn't want me putting our last name online...
I can totally understand! I hate excluding people, but sometimes privacy is nice. I am copying Jenny's idea. You know our last name. So it is emily[lastname]@gmail.com.
I hope we are included! I liked having my blog open to the public too, but then my blog was taken over by someone else and that was kinda scary. I know what you mean by wanting to keep some stuff to yourself; your life is just that your's. Ps...my legs are sun burn sore still and my arms and chest just look silly.

Here is the thing. People at your work will probably request it from you anyways and if you don't grant them access it will be awkward.
don't forget about me! leave a comment on my blog if you don't have my email address.
would love to keep up :)

Hi Amanda,
I really enjoy reading your blog. If you decide to make it private, do you think Rick and I could be included?
