I am attempting to sneak off to Adoration at church for a quick blast of prayer. However, Dave is tutoring on-line and the baby decided to wake up just as I put my foot into my boot. So, I am sitting on the couch wearing my jacket, scarf and boots while waiting to hear any noises from Sarah's room that will further delay my departure. I will give her five minutes of silence before I head out the door.
The weather is calling for freezing rain but the skies seems relatively clear at the moment. However, when I checked the weather site there was an asterisk next to tonight's temperature of plus 10 degrees. The asterisk denoted that the plus 10 degrees is an abnormal weather trend. I thought it might have indicated a do not resuscitate order for all of us who experienced a cardiac event when we glanced at the temperature. Apparently we are expecting 15 degrees on Wednesday and then a 25 degree plunge the following day. Very strange. No doubt the whole thing will be accompanied by extremely high winds.
Anyway, there are some ramblings. And, now, a question.
Should I make this blog public again? What do you think? Are there any you's out there?
Ahhh, silence. I can go now.

I think you ought to go public, but I think you should move the blog to a different address first - one that doesn't involve your last name. I really think a lot more people would enjoy reading your blog.
Jac said it. Agreed.
(Also, when I made my own blog public again, I scrubbed it! So I deleted the handful of posts I wouldn't want any random person reading, as well as edited a few of them, as I later regretted particular ways in which I said things.)
Blogger lets you change the whole URL but keep the content the same in one fell swoop. That's what I did.
Also love! that you are having nice weather, even if it is brief.
I would keep it private (I think you know why I lean in this direction), or else make it anonymous. There is just too much crazy stuff that can happen on the web.
Much as I think people would enjoy reading your blog, I share Rebecca's concern. Since you write about your children in such detail, that shouldn't be shared with the world at large, but only those who know and appreciate your family.
But there should be some way to increase readers without going public.
I think you could do a public blog in addition to the private one. Many of your musings would be of interest to the general public, but I wouldn't publish the kids' pictures or all of their personal stuff for all the world to read, esp. with Dave being a teacher and as the kids get older, they may object. I personally love the pictures and stories of the children and would not like to see that reduced because of a more public format. It is always a highlight of my day when there is a new post.
You know, the only reason I would say to go public is for selfish reasons...it would show up in my news feed. But - I took would have reservations about putting photos and stories of the kids out into cyberspace. I say start another blog for "public" thoughts, or write for us (you're welcome to do so anytime!)
For goodness sake, yes!
