I had Jane just over a year after I started this blog (6.5 years ago OMG), and she has been the topic of many, many MANY posts. I always knew a time would come when I wouldn't - shouldn't - write about her so much. That her privacy would come first, no matter what the entertainment value of the story was. And I think I've hit that point.
There's some stuff going on with school that I'd love to hash out here. But I realize that the things I write about her now could easily be found by some of the people she goes to school with right now, in 10 years, when they are all a bunch of pubescent jerks. And sure, these same people could find the stuff I wrote about her previously, but for some reason kindergarten and age 5 seems like a perfect time to slow down.
It's not that I won't EVER write about the girl, or post pictures (I mean, please. Some things are just impossible to resist sharing), but I need realize that although she doesn't realize it, she has a right to privacy, and to air out her whole life here wouldn't be fair.
What the hell am I going to write about? Maybe it's time to visit the archives and see what I used to go on and on about. Because if there's one thing I know about myself - I like to go on and on. And on.
Thanks, as always, for reading.

I hit that same point not long ago with LiaHowley.com. I made it a private blog, so only we could ever see the entries. The value of social networks like Google Plus and even (gasp!) Facebook are that you get to choose who sees stuff.
