Without warning



I took a blog break. I didn't follow any of the rules usually required of a week long break from the other parts of my life.

At work I would've needed to book the time off, get approval and make sure my work was done or at least being done by someone else on my team. At home I would have needed to find someone to look after the kid and the cat.

But I didn't make any arrangements. I didn't give you warning, or a guest blogger or even a hint as to when I was going to reappear.

Sorry.

It was just that Deaglan had an ear infection. And I had high fevers and headaches. And Shaune had his wisdom teeth pulled. And the cat, um. Okay there was nothing wrong with the cat but he didn't make it any easier with the ears, the teeth and the fevers. And usually I would at least read your posts to find out what was going on in your lives. But I didn't. And I really couldn't. But I will. Because now I'm back.

  3. I have been taking breaks from the blog lately, too. No illness or anything else as an excuse for me, though. Just lack of motivation.

    Glad you're back and everyone's on the mend! :)

  7. We all need a break sometimes. Sorry you had such a rough week. Hope everyone is feeling better. You didn't miss out on much on my blog. Life hasn't been very interesting lately.
    Don't you wish we could just disappear from those other areas sometimes, without notice or explanation?

  16. Oh, yes, we've been doing potty training for 4 or 5 months. And he is doing pretty good. He is pretty much 80 - 100% during the day, he loses a little momentum in the evening. And I won't try the night time until age 2 - kids generally don't have night time control until then and I don't want to sacrifice my sleep! I'll try and put together a blog posting on our PT adventures.

  18. No need to apologize! I've done the same...sometimes life allows me to blog a lot, other times, not so much.

    I always try to remember that I'm doing this for me, and people who enjoy reading will always come back, no matter how frequently or infrequently you post.
