Eloise's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
April 29, 2002
Well, this entry has been a loooooong time coming hasn't it?
I have been completely neglecting my cyber-existence lately. I haven't even been online for many, many weeks. I needed time out, and when you consider I've been diary-writing for over THREE YEARS I guess it's not surprising! I didn't plan to take time-out, it just kinda happened, and the longer I went without logging-on, the more I began to wonder about continuing.
Well, to cut a long story short, I have, after long deliberation and much dilly-dallying, decided it's time to close the book on Pixie's online diary. It really has been a difficult decision, as I have met and made so many wonderful online friends and I am loath to say goodbye to you all. But the truth is, my time is up. It's time for new, fresh blood to take to the keyboard and inspire us with their parenting journey. And, as sad as it is to say, it's time for me to move on. I have recorded so much of Pixie's life, and it is sad to to think that her gorgeous toddler years will not be captured on the page for future reading. But I am tired, and as much as it saddens me I simply can't keep it up!
Pixie is almost 2 1/2 years old now...and she is simply gorgeous. A handful at times (lately she's started saying 'No, no, NO!' to everything) but so much fun to be around. I love this stage of motherhood, and have decided I love two-year-old's and dread newborns!!! Pixie is the funkiest kid I know, and I am so proud to be her mum. I really don't know what else to say....
I will miss you all....the support you've all given, the encouragement, the up-dates, the laughs!!!!! I have had such a magnificent time here, it really is hard to close the door on this stage of my life, but we must move forward, move on, to new developments, new adventures!!! And we've still got email, so please, keep in touch!!!!!
On a final note, keep a sharp eye open for us on the Pregnancy Today diary pages later in the year, because you just never know!!!!!!!! I will definitely be recording a brand new diary for no.2 if he/she ever comes into being, because that's a whole new journey that I'd simply have to explore on the page. Not that we have any definite plans for TTC, but the words of John Lennon are singing in my ears, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans..."
But for now it's AU REVOIR, God bless you all and your beautiful children, and thank you all for reading and supporting us along our journey.
Our love and best wishes always, Eloise and Pixie.
