I’m feeling so much better because I have things all sorted out. I don’t have my organization skills totally figured out yet, but I have made a decision to not stress when I miss a day or two of blogging. I am actually taking time off to spend time with my family and to do some of the hobbies I enjoy.
Blogging is my favorite hobby but it is work too. And everyone needs a break from work. Having my daughter home for the summer, getting ready for my older daughter’s wedding and helping out my Mom has taken a priority lately.
So, staying offline completely, away from Twitter, forums, Facebook, etc. a few days a week is my way to handle things. It’s healthy for me and it’s what I need to do.
Yay! Very sensible decisions I think
Going crazy or having a nervous breakdown trying to get everything done won’t help your family OR your readers and especially won’t help you!

Good for you! You will be amazed at the relief you feel. When is your daughters wedding? Sorry, I forget the date.

Sounds like a very good idea to me – you’ve got a lot on your plate right now so there’s no need to fill it too full and drop it!

I’m so glad you made that decision- I also have been having to take time off from blogging all the time.
My family has been needing me a lot lately so I completely understand that sometimes life happens.
We simply need to find out which is the priority of that week and not feel “guilty” about putting other things aside.
It is kind of hard to get me away from Twitter though- LOL

Although we miss you when you are not here, taking time to stay emotionally healthy is so important. This is a stressful time for your family even though it’s also a wonderful event. Enjoy and keep up the good work that you do
