I need a break. I need a break from my life right now. I’m not going to get that. I have things I need to talk about, but I just can’t yet. In a few weeks I will, but right now? I just need to focus on the day to day.

My day to day, which involves four people showing up at my house on Wednesday night. By the end of next weekend, I will have eleven extra people at my house. For a week. Was supposed to have twelve, but my BIL broke up with his girlfriend last week. (Luckily my parents and In-Laws won’t actually be sleeping at my house, but the rest of them will.)

My day to day, which involves kids, getting ready for Christmas and trying to get up and make it through each day. I’m doing the best I can…and I’m doing a dam good job at it, but something has to give for a few weeks.

I’m going to take a blogging break. Most likely until the first of the year. I will still be around. I’m sure I’ll be on Twitter and visiting your blogs. But I can’t put into words what I need to say on here. Not yet. For now, I’ll stop trying. Putting up meme’s isn’t worth it. Not for three weeks. Better you all feel like you can ignore me, than feel like you need to come read yet another meme.

I went back and forth on saying something and just not. I’ve thought about this for a week. I adore this blog, this space, this community. You all mean more to me than I could even try to put into words. I swear to you all, I’ll be back soon.

In fact, around New Years I will have a new blog design, one that the lovely, talented Mommy Geekology is designing for me. It will be good timing too. A new design for a new year. Something shiny and pretty and way more me than this design is. I will post something when that time comes.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. If you need me, you know where to find me….playing Bejeweled on Facebook.

xoxo, Issa
