I thought you’re supposed to take it easy on Labor Day? LOL Well, we surely didn’t! We got up early today, ate cereal (Kwabena was excited to find some old, stale Cap N’ Crunch in the cabinet), and then went for a long walk.
I suggested we bring Kwabena’s stroller because I know how he likes to run (i.e. wear himself out), and it would be nice to have a place for him to rest. Kwasi insisted we do not bring it, that he needs to be “trained” to learn to walk on his own (makes sense, because once Ohene comes, we’re basically going to be eliminating Kwabena in the stroller whenever possible). However, since we were going for a long walk (it must be about 3 miles!!), I felt we should bring it.
Oh, well….Kwabena ended up doing fine! Yes, he got worn out, however Kwasi carried him during rest periods, and then–zoom!–he was off again! I tell ya–they should have track and field for little kids his age….He’d smoke the competition, as fast as he is! LOL

On a different note, I really don’t know how long I am going to keep this blog going………… I think the reason I kept it going for so long was because I had family and friends checking it often. There was a drive, a motivation to keep it going because people seemed to really want to know what’s going on, see updated pics, etc. (hell, now there’s Facebook for pics, which is much easier to publish to).
My mom has since stopped checking this site due to internet restrictions at work (gasp!–imagine that–a company that monitors your internet usage–the nerve!!) Kwasi’s brother’s used to check the site, but they don’t log in much anymore. And overall, the hits have dropped substantially since I’ve made the site private. This is very time-consuming uploading pics and such, for very little that I’m getting out of it.
I’m considering that it may be worth stopping posting here, and just get back into my private journaling, with a goal of creating a larger “blog book” where I can actually get something published in print (visit www.blurb.com, which is an excellent site for that).
My dream of passing my journals on to my kids was always something I always wanted. I’ve been keeping some sort of journal since age 15. Since blogging, however, I find myself writing more superficially because it’s not totally private; thus, I am missing out on a lot of deeper reflection and detailed accounts of my life.
We’ll see…….But it seems like I am putting more into this than I am getting out of. Time to move on, eh…?
