Yes! The "others" got me.
Really, I just felt that my attitude was getting progressively worse, both on here and with my family. So taking a short break from here allowed for a bit of perspective and time to tackle whatever my problem was. And it really worked out well because it coincided with a week's worth of 60 degree, sunny days (unheard of in these parts in February, so much so that my tiny town got on state news over it...which was silly). So, I spent my time "off" riding my bike, pulling dead stuff out of my flower beds, and spring cleaning my house. Ooh! And my husband and I have started doing nightly Bible studies together, my daughter turned two, I taught my son to ride his bike, and I've printed off about fifty new (healthy) recipes to try (I burned last night's chicken but it was still pretty tasty).
I'm also pretty certain that my laptop is pretty dead, as it refused to even turn on this morning. I was all "Good morning, decrepit piece of technology!" And it was all...
