Thanks for posting some fun stuff. :) In all honesty, I read a ton of blogs daily, however I have never clicked on a "follow" button. I don't even know what that really means. But, if I enjoy a blog, I will keep coming back! <br />Hope you are able to enjoy the weekend!jensullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06548380907510976821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145559767872967377.post-21295868667240527542012-04-06T08:58:39.853-06:002012-04-06T08:58:39.853-06:00Hope your rough couple of weeks have ended, and th...Hope your rough couple of weeks have ended, and that you're feeling MUCH better and refreshed!<br /><br />I just gave your blog an award.

Never apologize for your feelings---they are honest!<br /><br />Ignore the numbers...if you see downloads, people LOVE what you are doing. Maybe our world is too busy that a simple thank you is too hectic to put out there. <br /><br />I thank you!! The teacher world thanks you! You are talented, you are creative, you are wonderful to share. You are helping other classrooms out there!<br /><br />ღDeAnne<br /><b><i><a href="http://firstgradeandfabulous.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">First Grade and Fabulous</a></i></b>~DeAnne~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05821216484089984002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145559767872967377.post-4861004641128800492012-04-02T20:59:11.991-06:002012-04-02T20:59:11.991-06:00I think it is hard to not get obsessed with number...I think it is hard to not get obsessed with numbers or not be hard on ourselves. We are all feeling that way but most of us just won't say it.

We all have days like this and I feel like it's "real" to post about it. <br /><br />I see the stats page that Blogger gives me, and I see how many people visit my pages each day...yet, that "follow" number just won't jump. It can be depressing and frustrating to know how many people are viewing and downloading your things, yet very few of them will make the commitment to "follow" you or talk about you. I hate that "following" number on my sidebar because it looks so lonely and small. It embarrasses me; yet, when I take it down, it's inevitable that I'll have someone ask me where it is so they can follow me (which they never follow through with...). Sheesh. <br /><br />I'm glad to know that someone else has felt what I'm feeling. Hugs and prayers to you! We can get through this!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868106703471589024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145559767872967377.post-29733415739875979492012-04-01T01:52:53.615-06:002012-04-01T01:52:53.615-06:00Bless you.

A teacher's greatest supporters are other teachers, we should remember that!<br /><br />Insert LOUD sobs and alligator tears here. <br /><br />I have been blogging for months now and only have 40 followers. I don't think I'll ever get to 100, never mind 200. I am actually considering removing my blog and just having one for my parents.

I'm so...I am a lurker, a watcher, and a pinner. I'm sorry. I do appreciate your ideas and I feel your pain. I have to keep reminding myself I blog for myself and not for followers. (Though followers help.) Keep creating stellar resources and your day will come.<br /><br />One thing that might increase comments is getting rid of the verification words. I HATE them. Almost as much as I hate spiders. And to be honest, sometimes they discourage me from commenting. <br /><br />Remember while Spring brings spiders and other bugs it also brings daffodils, long walks in the sunshine, and warmer temperatures. Keep pushing along friend. You are making a difference. <br /><br /><i><b><a href="http://livelovelearnwithmrsl.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life with Mrs. L</a></b></i>Mrs. Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420914503608188696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145559767872967377.post-53150493271404813902012-03-30T17:35:16.647-06:002012-03-30T17:35:16.647-06:00Wow I can really relate-I even saw a spider in the...Wow I can really relate-I even saw a spider in the shower this morning! :) I just discovered your blog and will join your followers.

Let me just go ahead and say that I agree about the comment thing. I LOVE to read comments on my blog and feedback at my TpT store. Unfortunately, they don't come often enough. And I know that my activities are being downloaded by the hundreds. Oh well, at least I know in my heart that I send a comment to anyone who offers me something I can use in my classroom. And, thankfully, there are a lot of people like me. Sadly, though, there are way more people out there who are not like me... But, I try not to think about that! I hope your day gets better!
