Do you care?

OK so I know I am totally having one of those moments that Satan is taking advantage of me, and my pregnancy hormones. But right now I am feeling a bit insignificant. I haven't had a lot of time to post things on my blog lately. And I am kind of curious as to weather or not people even read it.

So this is a call to all of you lurkers. (If there are any. And for those of you who don't know what that term means it means reading and not commenting). I don't mind if you lurk. But right now I want to know if anyone actually reads this. So if you could just take a minuet to let me know if you actually take the time to read my blog, and would appreciate it if I continue it, I would appreciate it. Lurkers and non-lurkers alike.
Thanks.
Oh and you don't need a Google account to leave a comment. If you don't have one, if you could click on the name/URL link and at least enter your name so I know who you are. You don't have to enter a URL. Then it will let you post a comment.

Hi Julie!

We're still here reading with you. We miss you in Virginia.

Julie, Adam and I both read your blog! I feel the exact same way most of the time. That why you need to get a feed watch. Even then though, I'm always like who is that? Oh well! But you better keep these coming.

I read your blog. Don't worry, I totally know what you mean about the pregnancy hormones. I have lots of days where I feel invisible (which is almost just as bad as feeling insignificant). I'll get better. Have a great day.

I actually just found your blog :) you should put a counter or tracker on and then you can know if people are looking even if they aren't commenting. That is the only reason I am not begging for comments every day! :) ( I can see that they are looking!) :)

As you can probably tell by looking at our blog, we don't get on much. But when I do, I always look at yours!

Are you kidding? I LOVE reading your blog! I look forward to it in fact. I really love hearing about the kids and wish that I could see you all more often! I know what it feels like to feel unimportant. Believe me, I've been there. Keep hanging in there as there is always a brighter day ahead!

Julie... I love reading your blog, because honestly you express so many feelings and emotions that I Completely can relate to. It makes me feel so good to know I'm not alone. Plus you have fantastic preschool ideas. :) Hope your pregnancy hormones ease up for you... :)

I read your blog. I don't know if you want me to. I followed the link you have on facebook. If you don't you can tell me not to! I left a message awhile back on a post you did about your brothers and others using a blow up mattress as a boat! Hillarious!!! I know how you feel about wondering if anyone is interested. Sometimes when I find a new blog I am hesitant on commenting because I am not sure the person is ok with me reading.

Yup, I'm a faithful reader. I even comment sometimes! =) And you're not alone wondering if you matter and if others care. You do, and we do!

Grossarths said...

I read your blog! I think we all have these days when it seems like everyone is overlooking us. I hope you realize how many people care about you and your family!

Julie,

Brandi and I follow your blog, regularly! We look forward to seeing all that you guys do, and your kids are the cutest things we've seen! We love hearing about their conversations, their messes, and their progress in growing in your home. We love your advise. We love your stories. We love your family! Thanks for sharing with us all. But, remember, blogging (in my mind) is more for the blogger, not the audience. I think blogging is the modern form of a journal. When you get to a specified point, you can later print it out in to a book. I think this is the easiest journal I have ever kept!!! Like Brandi said, you should get a blog feed tracker. If you go to our blog, scroll down, and its the last "add-on" we have on the left-hand side of the blog. It says where viewers are "arriving" in from and where they are "leaving" to. Again, like Brandi said, it doesn't say who it is, but it gives you a general idea. You can click on the link, copy the code, and paste it to your blog. If you have questions, give us a call! We love you guys and are grateful that you share all that you do with all of us! Thanks, Julie!

I do read your blog. I have to admit I'm not the best at leaving comments all the time. I also feel the same way about no one reading my blog. One thing I have found for me, is the rare times I post multiple blogs at the same time I've found people usually will only leave a comment on one post and not all of them. So I try to only post one or two every so often. Then again, I don't have much to talk about right now in my life. :) I think after having children I'll post a lot more. Anyway, I hope you get feeling better.
