Taking a break

Tonight has been another hellish time with the kids -- each of them put us through the ringer and we're wiped out.

It's time for me to step away from the blog for a while, as I feel it's not a healthy thing for me lately. If there was some sort of one-time or short-term crisis, perhaps a writing outlet like this would be a cathartic exercise. However, in a longer-term time of struggle like what we've been going through, this blog feels more like a reminder of stress and trial.

My family will still be updated on health issues through email as usual. And when the old adage "this too shall pass" comes to fruition and our family is healthy again, I'll be back to writing the occasional family anecdote or observation of life in these 21st Century United States. But right now those light-hearted anecdotes would feel artificial.

Thanks for your understanding and support. In the words of the governor of California: "I'll be back."

Just a note that I deleted (temporarily) a comment posted by someone anonymous. I've got no problem with someone expressing their displeasure, but at least leave a name.

If you'd like to email me, I'll gladly restore your comment, thanks.
