Update...

When I started blogging in 2008 there were a ton of 'diaper blogs' that were, for lack of a better word, 'defunct'. People had started with a vigor, but for whatever reason - lack of readership, lack of time, lack of interest - they'd... slowly... stopped... blogging. 

I was determined that my blog would never be like that. 

And, over the years, you guys - my readers, and friends, within our community - helped me. You've contributed a shit ton of articles, stories, and pictures. (My, have you contributed pictures.) 

So even when I do get too busy to blog... or just have a temporary binge/purge period and lose interest... I've always had other stuff to post. This has kept the readership up. I definitely appreciate that.

In March I got a promotion at work. A few weeks later, I got another one. I'm now working in the position I've been wanting for several years now. Needless to say, I've thrown myself into my work a bit. 

This means, though, that I've had to slack on the blog. 

It also doesn't help that I have a company laptop now, which I pretty much have to carry with me everywhere, which means my own laptop, formerly on me nearly 24/7, doesn't travel to nearly as many places. I used to grab my laptop at the park, or the airport, or the coffee shop, and - whenever I was feeling creative - bang out a story for the blog. Can't really do that anymore, so...

I definitely do feel bad. 

I am encouraged, though, by the number of you have continued to come to the blog on the regular. When I sat down to write this today, there were six other people viewing abysitter.com. Six! Even though I haven't posted much lately. And that's what's up...

I wish our community was such that I could share more about my personal life, including my personal successes, with you. I've made a whole bunch of real-life friends through our diaper community, and I have taken the opportunity to share a lot with each of them. But for everyone else who I don't know personally - especially those of you who've hit me up to ask if everything is okay - just know that things are great - but when things are great for me, sometimes my blogging suffers. 

I will try to do better, and post more in the future.  

Please, please, please... keep sending me stuff to fill the void with - just email your stuff to abysitter@gmail.com - 18+ of course. 

Oh... and definitely keep in touch.
