I'm really sorry if I've worried some of you, I've been gone for a lot longer than I had intended. I was really taken aback by some of your comments, I must confess, it feels kind of nice to know that my blogging friends actually noticed I was m.i.a., I'm very touched by your concern.
There have been some things happening in my life lately, things that I'm not really comfortable sharing right now, but suffice to say that they have required my full concentration. My "in real life" life is calling,..no, SCREAMING for my attention. I have put some important decisions on hold, I've let some things slide, some things that I shouldn't have, (procrastinating, SO very typical of me) and I just really felt like I needed a break. Not a break from you guys, but a break to get my priorities straight. That probably doesn't make alot of sense, and I don't mean to be all cryptic about it, but at the end of the day, I have to live with myself, and right now that "self" isn't someone I like very much. I feel like it's time for some changes in my life. Change can be good, it can be scary, too. I guess that's what makes life interesting, right?
I cannot promise that I will be able to write every day, but I will try my best, and even if it's only once a week, I will make an effort to keep in touch with you all. I have truly enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you, and I think of all of you as friends, I really do. Blogging has actually filled a void in me and my life that I didn't even realize needed filling. Does that make any sense? I hope it does.
Anyway, I have to go now, my son has a baseball game in 30 minutes (some things NEVER change!). Both my boys are on Spring break this week, which of course means I will get no BREAK what-so-ever, typical! :o) I PROMISE I will be back, promise! Time to go now and scream and cheer and embarrass the crap out of my kid, because afterall, that's my job! *hugs*

p.s. Hallie, if you happen to read this, I am working on the Prada bag. (groveling) Is that good enough, babe? ;o)

You're alive...that's all I needed!
Lizzie, I understand the "real in person" life. I took a break for a bit to get some things done too. I am still blogging, but I have to limit it, because otherwise it is consuming. I hope that your "real life" issues straighten out for you. Thank you for being a friend!
I was seriously starting to wonder if we needed to send out the search and rescue crew.
Glad to know you're doing all right. Good luck working through everything!
Hey Lizzy! Do you know how happy I was to see your post? But then I felt kind of sad when I read it. I hope everything is okay. And I know I don't "know" know you, ya know? HA! But I really, really like you so much and to hear you say things like "not being able to live with yourself" and all, well, I just felt a little sad. I really hope that having a blog hasn't been a huge contributor to whatever is going on. I would feel awful if that was the case. I'm just glad to know that you don't plan on stopping completely because I would miss you so much. Does it make me a weirdo if I like my blogger friends so much that I miss them when they're not around. Does it make it better that I'm the same way with my IRL friends and people? Please say I'm not a blogger freak...HAHAHA! Whenever you're here, I'll be here, too...
Lizzy,
I am glad you are back. I really missed ya! I hope everything that needs your attention is okay. I hope you are okay too!
Talk to you soon!
Amy
Real life does get in the way of blogging ... just a note here and there to let us know you are ok cause you let us in and we care about you and how you are!
Hugs GO TEAM!
Laura
How inconsiderate of real life to get in the way! Glad you're OK!
my love to lizzie...hang in there...real life takes up our time, we will be here when you DO post ;)
Oh hon, I was wondering where you were, I hope you work it all out. Blogging once a week is better than not at all and totally acceptable! As Stacie said, we will be here no matter what.
Take care and I hope you embarrassed your son but good, what are mother's for if not that?
Love and hugs!
Hope are OK!!!
I was also wondering what was up!
Real life definitely puts a grinding halt to blogging life sometimes. Very understandable.
Hope things are back to normal soon!!!
Take care!
Oh, you knew what I meant....I hope THINGS are OK.
Lizzy, I hope that all is well. I know that some times although a good release-blogging can become all consuming. Real life always takes precedent...even when it is stuff we would rather not deal with. Change is never easy...but without it you can't grow. Take care.
Zoe
I'm just glad you posted. Take all the time you need. Blogging is so secondary to life!
Good luck Lizzy!
Lizzy, you sound exactly like me talking! I haven't been able to blog as much either lately. My life is going crazy, too. I love blogging, but didn't have the right frame of mind for it lately. I'm hoping to get a little back to normal.
I couldn't have said it better my self Lizzy. I have felt much the same way lately. I hope you find peace in your life and that things straighten out for you real soon.
Maybe you and I should start a once a week blogging club ;-) I might get kicked out though as some weeks I am lucky if I even get one blog posted.
I will continue look forward to each post, how ever frequent or sporadic they are
Take Care :-)
Take Care
There you are. Woot woot, call the bloodhounds off...
You take care of you 'real in person' life... but don't forget to pop in and visit our little world.
IF I HAPPEN TO READ THIS? Good lord, Lizzy!!! I read it even when you don't post something new. I'm so addicted to you that I reread your old entries and just put it in a different Lizzy voice! Somedays you sound British, Australian, Canadian, Japanese (that's a tough one cuz it all looks like symbols to me!)
PRADA?????? Lucky me!! You are the best choosing your real life over your blogger friends ever!
Love ya!
Hallie
I hope things are okay. Check in on us once in a while!
you know what i dread about heading north? missing my daily blog fix... then even worse coming back after 8 or 9 days and trying to catch up!
hugs to you...
will keep you posted on coleman as i hear more... the kid is amazing his skin is all peeling now (his mom posted some pics) he looks so misrable but, he was determined to ride his johndeere trike yesterday and with his daddys help he did!
I love when she types his prayers... they make me cry cause he is hurting so much but they also imspire me at the same time.
More hugs
Laura
Glad you're getting your priorities in order. We all need to do that from time to time. The good thing about blogging is that it doesn't HAVE to be all or nothing. You can do what you want and it can ebb and flow. Just like "real" life.
Hope things are going well for you.
Hey you!
Thanks so much for your kind words, they pretty much made my day!
I hope you are getting things in order, come back soon now :-)
Lizzy,
Glad to see that you are back. I was starting to get worried, but real life happens to everyone. Know we are here if you need to vent.
Steph
WOW Can I relate. Like here and now....
I'm so glad you're back! "Change can be good, it can be scary, too." You GOTTA do what is best for you!!!
I just did a post on the whole blogging thing. You can't let it suck up too much time. I'm limiting it to J's naps during the day. Even then I am trying to limit myself to 30 minutes or less at a time.
Yay, you're back! I know, I'm late in commenting on this. I've been SOOOOO behind. But, I'm prioritizing now :)
I do enjoy these reflections of character and depth of your Self that continue to endear. Loving You is a comfortable and easy thing to allow my heart to do. For You, dear One, are completely Lovable!
