OK, readers (I think I still have readers), here's the deal - I'm taking a hiatus for a couple of weeks. Why? Because I am a pathetic lump of quivering jello who just can't say no - until I absolutely have to. And I'm now there.
I went part-time at work about a year ago with the goal of spending more time with my children and slowing down my life. I worked really hard to get both the princesses on this earth, and I wanted to see them awake more than two hours a day on weekdays and in between frantic errand-running and housecleaning on the weekends. I thought that things would slow down, that I'd have time to keep up with everything in the house, spend some great time with the kids, maybe even exercise and do some volunteer work at church - I thought the feeling that I could never catch up and get on top of everything I had to do would go away.
What a complete idiot I was.
After dealing with my second panic attack of the week this morning, I realized something's gotta give. I need a couple of weeks to reorganize and reevaluate things. I'll be back around March 1, hopefully revitalized and much more together. In the meantime, check out some of my favorite blogs listed over on the left side - you'll love them. I'm sorry if I'm disappointing anyone - I look forward to writing again soon.

Hey. You are the best writer I read, take care of yourself so you can come back. Why they don't have xanax dispensers in the ladies room, I'll never know...
You go! There are way to many moms out there who fail to recognize the need to prioritize... even though we will still miss your posts.
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling overwhelmed; I'm going through one of those rough patches too.
Let me know if you ever need a hug or a babysitter!
Mistie, you are doing an amazing job on all fronts. Be generous to yourself! xoxoxoxo
Take the time. Take all the time you need. We'll be here when you get back. Girls will only be little for so long.
