They're coming to take me away. . .

They're coming to take me away, 
ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the happy home. 
With trees and flowers and 
chirping birds and 
basket weavers who sit and 
smile and twiddle their thumbs 
and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!! 

So I think I may have a small case of paranoia.  A friend (who shall rename nameless to protect the innocent)  told me about SITEMETER which counts the numbers of visitors to your blog (or website) and gives you some basic information like where in the world they are located, if they hopped to my blog from somewhere else, if they clicked on any links to hop off my site, how long you hang out here, etc. 

You don't have to worry about Big Brother watching you because I am *grin*

And well, many more folk stop by my blog than I ever expected to.  Which started to freak me out a bit since this blog is mostly about my life and my boys and the world is unfortunately a lot less friendly and safe than it was 30 years ago.  So I wigged out and went private on ya'all.  Then I had a teeny tiny epiphany.  One of the most frequent ISP's that would sit on my site for hours at a time was my own.

So I think I'm done wigging out, and I fixed the sitemeter so that it won't list me and will thus give a more accurate representation and I decided to open my blog up once again.

However, I would like to request that if you stop by you say "hi" every once in awhile, because this blog is mostly for me and my family and I would like to know who is reading.  So if you are friends with Tori and live in Colorado and you pass by here on your way to her parent's site, or if you are a random friendly neighbor in Spanish Fork who likes to keep up with us, or if you found me from a comment on Corey's, or Christine's or Diana's blog, or....you get the picture....Let me know where you are reading from and what you enjoy about my blog

and that will keep the "nice young men in their clean white coats" at bay for a bit longer.

Thanks!
