Going Private

     I have been thinking that it is a little creepy not knowing who is reading your blog and that I should go private.  It's like all these little kids that you tell, "don't talk to strangers," or if a man drives up to you and offers you candy, don't take it because he will pull you in his car and drive away.  But then our children ask if they can have a lemonaide stand with their friends and you say sure.  So next thing you know your seven year old is on a corner going up to strange cars and collecting money for lemonaide.  That just never made any sense to me!
     Anyways, please let me know if you want an invite to my blog.  It's not that exciting, but I will feel safer blogging about my kids.  I just went to my neices blog, Jessica, and from there went to her friends who said she was going private.  I felt weird reading about someone I didn't know.  Then when I went back to Jessica's blog I noticed my blog is listed on the side.  (I love you Jessica) but then I realized the craziness of blogging.  You can be intertwined to everyone through your friends.  Sorry, I'm a little slow on technology.  This article didn't persuade me, but it is interesting if you want to take a look.  I stole it from Jessica's friend (see its madness)!

When you go private send it to my gmail account (same name as the other) Tell Sam to resend my invite to her's too so I can live vicariously through her :)

Sharon, I'm glad you saw that article! I've been thinking about it too. That story was on the news the other night, and it scared me a bit. definitely add me to your allowed list or whatever it's called: jessica_torgerson@hotmail.com

Can you sign us up for my gmail and Dad's Hotmail. I too need Sam's again. I need to email her but am slow in getting things done. I will have to look into that too. I am sure that is the safer way to go. Mom

Yeah it's for sure a little freaky. I think it's easier before you have children. Invite us to your private blog. tiffanycook2@gmail.com

Did you ever respond to my invite to our blog. I wasn't sure if you ever got it or got on. I agree with the private thing. I still don't feel comfortable with strangers and x's reading about my life. I'm right there with you on that. Just remember to invite me.
