Even the Clowns Are Sad


It is with great sadness that I announce my sabbatical from blogging. For the next three months I will barely be able to lift my head to breathe - four newsletters due, new job rolling out fundraisers at 20 schools, PTO President and school starting, travel to Ft. Benning to see oldest graduate from Infantry Training, selling existing house and finishing up and moving into new house.

I love all of my blogging friends. I feel like you guys know me in ways others don't (oh please, not in the Biblical sense, pull your mind out of the gutter!). When I got an email this week from one (Wordgirl from Half of the Sky) asking where I have been I realized that I must make a decision on this.

I feel bad that I have not been able to read everyone's as faithfully as I would like. I will still be stopping by your blogs of course, so leave the light on...and the coffeepot. I'm gonna need the caffeine.

  • Awwww Deb, I'm gonna miss you, but I understand. It seems like so many are taking a break. Maybe its just that time of year or something, yanno? Please let me know if you start blogging again.
    Best wishes to you in EVERY endeavor.
    Your friend,
    Jane

  • Good for you, for taking a break instead of loading too much stuff on your plate.

    Can you slip in some pics of the new house, at least?

    I'll keep checking, just in case.

  • Debbie, I am one of your probably thousand fans. I found you one night and kept coming back. I'm usually home alone and you have brought so much laughter to my world.
    I can't wait, till you are back. Good luck with all your new adventures, the new house, and come back soon.
    Your new blog friend,
    Brenda T.
