Summer Vacating

I love y'all.  I really do.  Every single one of you who stops by here to read or to comment, or to read and not comment, or to not read a single word of mine and just browse the hilarious and clever comments--whoever you are, and why ever you stop by here, thank you.  I appreciate it even more than I can say.

I heard plenty of talk at BlogHer about the drama and nastiness that can ensue from blogging--ugly e-mails and comments and such.  Those conversations make me profoundly grateful for the nurturing and friendly little corner of the blogosphere I've found. 

So I'll say it again: I love y'all.

It's sweet feelings like this that make it hard to step away for a while. 

And yet?  I am tired.  TIRED.  Say it with two syllables for emphasis:  TIE-URD.  I need a little down-time like I've never needed it before.

BlogHer was a frenzied blast of information and extroversion, right on the heels of the rollickin' good fun at SheSpeaks, and these brain cells mine are begging for a rest.  On top of that, there are, it seems, about 3.7 seconds left in our summer.  It's just going by too fast. 

So I'm taking a nice, long hiatus for the next few weeks to recoup and, most importantly, to enjoy these four little people that put the mom in my momblogger.

I'll be running posts from the archives, just for grins, and I'll still be around here and there.  In fact, starting next week, I'll be writing once a week at Parenting magazine's Parenting Post. Works-For-Me Wednesday and the What I'd Like For You to Know series are all on hold until I get back on Thursday, August 21. 

Be good, my friends, and I'll see you back here in a bit.
