I Miss Blogging!

Well so much for blogging regularly this year!  I've been gone for over a month and I really miss it.  For a while last year I was pondering whether I should continue blogging, but with this recent forced time off I've realized how much I love it and I don't want to give it up.

I won't be posting regularly for a while though, as right now all my energy is being spent trying to help Jess get healthy again.  She's been struggling for a while but last month was really scary and stressful.  It seems now that we have the right doctors treating her and she is starting to feel better.  But I'm afraid it will be a long road.

For now, I'll still be lurking around the blogosphere and posting when I can and I'm hoping to be able to do the A-Z.

Hope you're staying warm!  Here it's been below 0 for a number of days! I'd love to hear what you're up to these days.

  2. Hey! I think a few have scaled back blogging, but definitely don't give up. You had a valid reason. I'm sorry to hear about Jess's health - I didn't know, but glad to hear she is feeling better.

  5. I'm sorry to hear about Jessica's health, though it sounds like she's doing better with the new doctors. Sending positive vibes! I've been in and out of the blogosphere for a while now, it's been difficult for me to get back into the swing of things... but like you, I do miss it. Take care, all of you!!

  13. Hi, Kathy. I'm on an unplanned leave from blogging myself. I wanted to at least keep participating in the blitz, so HAPPY BLITZ DAY!

    ReplyDelete
  14. As I am new here, I'm assuming Jess is your daughter. Prayers that she is soon whole and healthy. Hope you can join in the A to Z Challenge. I'm ever so excited this year! I'm on Stephen Tremp's Troops as a helper. My first time, though this will be my 4th year in the Challenge.

  15. Jessica is in good hands...and I'm not referring to the doctors. :) I know all about unexpected blogging absences...and how good it feels when you return. Take the time you and Jess need.

    BTW...you're being BLITZED today. How's that for unexpected? :) Enjoy!

    First time visiting so I spent some time and checked out your site. I'm from Ohio, too (and February was a brutal month, weather-wise, huh?). Sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope by now she's doing much better.

  18. Few things are more stressing than the health and happiness of our children. And it doesn't matter how old they are. Hope Jess continues to improve and your lives resume a sense of contented normalcy.
