So, I’m back. 

I never intended to take a hiatus; it just sort of happened. 

First, summer vacation kicked my ass.  Six kids, all day every day is hard.  Even when you do get some time to write, the headspace just isn’t there.

Then there was the slow slide into depression.  It wasn’t some awful death spiral, but enough of a funk that even once I was back to just my own two kids, and shipping one of them off to school for 6.5 hours a day to boot, napping just seemed a far more attractive and productive choice than oh, say, sitting down and actually producing something. 

And, um, well, to tell the truth, I lost the keys to the blog for a while there.  Those of you who know me in real life are probably rolling your eyes right now and saying, “oh, please!  She can’t even keep track of virtual keys???”  To that I can only say, “shut up.”

The point is, I’ve missed you all (if you’re still here), and I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things.

Did you miss me?
