I am mad. I love blogging, and I love making new friends via blog; Diane, AnneMarie, Andrea, Jessica.....etc...the list goes on and on.
However, this has been a very "rough" week for my blog. It is my blog. Not your blog. I'm not freaking sharing. People randomly googling me, getting up in my action is pissing me off. I don't want to go private. It's a pain in the butt, and I'm too lazy, however, it's something that is getting more and more within the realm of possibility.
If I have one more person "nit-picking" what I say, heaven freaking help me. I would swear, but I know my nieces and nephews read my blog, so I can't. For the record, it would be bad.
I just got another comment saying that something I said "irked them". Freak, I can't even find out who you are because your profile doesn't link to anything. I am not here, blogging, to piss people off. I am not here, blogging, to listen to how my f'ing parenting styles are the bane of society. I am here, blogging, because it's fun to keep in contact with people. I am here, blogging, because I'm trying to DO WHAT WE ARE TOLD TO DO AND KEEP A RECORD OF OUR FAMILY HISTORY. Eff. Yeah. I went there again.
I have so many positive things to blog about, but I feel like I'm a flipping teacher trying to get her class in order. If it can't be that way, then I'm going to have to be all cliquey on you for a while, and choose who gets to be up in my bidness.
Ug. I'm so annoyed.

Thinking Real Seriously.....

I really think your blog is so fun to read and really interesting. I hope you can ignore them. There will always be people with different opinions. I don't understand why they would read a blog if they don't like what is being written, but c'est la vie!
I think it's that I don't want negative opinions, especially if I don't ask for them. Still irritated.
You can always try screening your comments, thats what I had to do after a similar situation. you still have to read the annoying comments but its nice to have a sense of control over the blog.
Not that it matters, but I LOVE reading your blog, and so does my mom. You have a realistic but positive sense of humor about everything, and your optimism is definitely genuine and radiates. I don't know why, but I can't shake the feeling that your annoymous comments are coming from my ex-bosses... you know, the psycho loser ones? I hope it isn't, but in case it is, they are idiots and you shouldn't listen to what they say ever... they are ruining their son's life by being basically stupid.
And you aren't. You are the sunshine in Hazen's life, and everything he needs! I can't believe you have gone through so much and most of it still smiling and chugging along. Nothing anyone says to you, especially unnamed, will ever change that. Don't give that stupid commenter any more of your time or blogspace, that's just giving them what they want. Eventually they will go harass someone else because they can't stir up the drama here with you.
Hi Anne. I am Jason's cousin, Connie, and I occaisionally read your blog. I really enjoy your entries. You are funny and honest and say a lot of things that everyone else is thinking but doesn't have the courage to actually say. So, keep doing what you are doing and don't let it get to you when someone else says something stupid. I have enjoyed watching Hazen grow up through your blog. He is adorable!
This is so sad. I hate that this is happening to you.
One of the things I love about blogging is the unexpectedness of it all. For example, we got a "strange" comment on our blog today. The woman works for the company that makes the Sherpani (a backpack/child carrier) and she was writing to say that she loves seeing their products travel the world.
These haters are ridiculous and cruel and wrong. We must seek them out and destroy them.
I would hate to see you have to restrict who reads your blog because I see so many people who love reading it. I love reading it! I really love seeing my nephew grow up seeing as how I'm in CA and you are in UT. I read the "irked" comment and was really confused by it. I honestly couldn't tell if it was meant to be negative or just a comment on things said previously. Either way I think it's a little strange to comment on a stranger's blog. There might be a few situations where it wouldn't be inappropriate or strange. But I think it is SO inappropriate to criticize someone who you don't even know. I'm sorry that's happening to you. Unfortunately, there are many people out there who just don't get it.
So I'm an older sister and I feel like giving advice. It's what I do. All you other older sisters out there know what I'm talking about. We do what we can to protect the ones we love. I know I'm not your "real" older sister and that you already have 2 (shout out to Heidi and Heather!) but I am your husband's older sister. (Love ya, J!) As always, it's just my opinion and you can take it or leave it. Either way I love you. Before you seriously consider restricting access to your blog try taking a breather from the blog for a couple of days. I'm thinking all this negativity may blow over with time. And try not to let what's already been said get to you. You know who you are and what you believe and the people who love and care about you know who you are and what you believe. Unfortunately, we can't please everyone, so we have to try and let what the haters say roll off our backs.
Keep blogging. I love reading about your everyday lives and seeing pictures of HAL.
Maybe if you ignore them they will go away...like a dumb dog. That being said, I HATE negative or "questionable" comments. I just hope I'm invited!
I don't blame you, holy crap. People suck.
Can i please be invited...
If i'm not you can't stay at my house! (MUhahahaha..!)
I'm so sorry dear. No one deserves this. People are stupid sometimes (I think I'm stupid most of the time.)
Amen sista! I got cho back! I got street cred and we can take 'em!
Annee...I live in Utah
Pick me, Pick me! I feel so connected to your family when I read your blogs.
Seriously? This is still going on? What is wrong with people? Everyone lives their lives differently. If you don't agree with it, move on! No one is making you read her blog.
Annee, I love your blog, you and your sense of humor. You keep blogging girl! Don't let the haters bring ya down! They suck!
Anne, I get real, live hate mail all the time. If you're going to have opinions, people are going to be jerks.
I always worry about blogging b/c I've invited people to look and judge me on whatever I'm interested in at the moment. I just know something I say will probably prevent me from getting a calling or something some day. I live in blog fear and I always want to quit. I think that's what makes blogging so popular in the LDS world, the idea being that if you are doing bad things or have off the beaten path ideas you have to really hide them on your blog which functions somewhat as a private journal. Blogs allow people to present only the best sides of themselves, which is kinda what the church is all about. This tendency feels very inauthentic to me.
Keep blogging I read it everyday and I love it. Sorry people have to be so dumb. as I tell my daughter they are just jealous of you and your wisdom and your free spirt.
Hang in there
