Hello!

I told myself I needed a month away from the blogosphere to catch up with life and things at home. Does the blogging take time away from other things I could/should be doing? Why yes. Yes, it does. I now know that for sure after being away for over a month. It is however, a choice I make. I'm shocked though. Shocked that I've been gone for more than a month. Shocked that I didn't feel the need or urge to blog at all in that time. Shocked that I didn't/don't miss it. The desire to write is not there at all these days -- I seem to be suffering from some writer's block. Funny thing is, in the absence of reading blogs or writing posts, I haven't even been voraciously reading books. Truthfully, I still feel the need to be away from here for some more time. I'm not mentally setting a time frame this time, so who knows, I might post next week, or I might not. I might not even post until September :oO! I will eventually start posting again. I need to do so for my children. I want them to be able to read these posts and remember the things that we did, or they did, the fun we had, to remember the life we live(d) -- good stuff and bad stuff. Hopefully by the end of the week I will post some photos of what has been happening over the past month or so. There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by where I'm not going somewhere, attending meetings, or transporting children to and fro during the daytime. It's a crazy, busy, full, life, and I truly am exhausted by the evening, but I wouldn't trade it!

I think of you all often! Be blessed!
