I’ve spent the last two days catching up on the blogs in my reader, as well as posting and replying to my comments. And even though I’d caught up on my reading by 11 last night, today I have 40 posts to read (Don’t any of you EVER take a break? I’m just wondering). And my own post to write. In addition to my work at home job, cleaning and oh yeah, taking care of my children.
Because of our precarious financial situation and our messy house, Hubby has demanded that I quit blogging.
He thinks I’m wasting my time and talent on an unpaid activity.
He doesn’t understand about writing practice, my love of the blogger community and my desperate need for attention.
And for the good of our marriage and family, I have to see his point. I mean, I do stay up too late/skip cleaning/let the children watch too much TV just so that I can blog more. So, this will be my last post. I just want you all to know how much I love you and will miss reading you every day.
*April Fool! Like Hubby would demand that I do anything! Especially quit blogging, as he knows it’s often the tenuous thread between me and sanity. In fact, this post was actually his idea – after I expressed jealousy awe over the success of his April Fool’s post, I have discovered that Scientology is the Best!

I was gonna say: “Oh no he di-int” true Jersey style!
But, no I never take break from blogging. It would be like taking a break from reading. Sure, it would save me time to do other things, but I love it and it’s rewarding, so why?
Sorry your reader was full though!

DUDE. YOU’RE A JERK. I TOTALLY WAS ALL “NOOOOOOOO, DON’T LEAVE ME.”
Poo head.
Yeah, my reader’s been overflowing too. I’ve finally whittled it down, though.

you totally got me!!! My breath caught in my throat as I read “this will be my last post”! I am glad that it was just a joke and I will continue to see you around.

*sigh* I’m constantly on the lookout for April Fools posts, so I lose all the freaking out. Dangit.

Okay, imagine me saying, Homer Simpson-style: “DOH!!!”
I totally fell for it. And by the way, you had me guilt-tripping on how much time I spend blogging.

I was already composing my WTF comment in my head when I read the “April Fool!”
Yeah, you got me.

You nasty turd! That was an awful mean April Fool’s joke to play on your bloggy friends! Shame on you! You had me freaking out there for a second.
Breath.
Glad you were joking. You really had me going.

I’ve seen several people who “quit” today. I have been well prepared for the fools. I hope you had a great day.

LMAO. While reading this I was thinking, “she is describing my life and husband to a T.”

AndreAnna – Teehee. And I complain about you guys not taking breaks, but I hardly ever do either.
Becky – I didn’t mean to upset you so much. Though “poohead” is such a great insult it was worth it!
Matteroffactmommy – I’m sorry.
mkate – I’m not going anywhere!
Wordvixen – I hardly read any today. Possibly because I was on the lookout.
The Mom Build – There’s no guilt in blogging! Blogging is for our mental health.
Leslie – As long as it didn’t shock you into to labor or anything.
Kathryn – It was Hubby’s idea! But I’m still sorry.
Kendra – Thank you for seeing the humor.
CC – Well, I guess it’s an easy joke to play.
Marci – Will do.
Shannon – Yay! Someone else who thought it was funny.
