I’m sure you’ve noticed the lack of posting over the past week. I know I have! While work has always made regular blogging a challenge it’s something I’ve usually been able to work around. Over the past week, however, Tracey and I are faced with the challenge of a family member (her sister-in-law) who is both physically and psychologically debilitated and now requires our attention while she comes live with us for the foreseeable future.

… That’s assuming, of course, I can get her on a bus to here – something I haven’t yet been able to do in the last 24 hours. But that’s a whole ‘nuther story…

One of these days I’d love to recount the madness and mayhem of the past two weeks that has brought us to this point in time. Someday I will.

Given the challenges that lie ahead, however, it looks as if I’m going to have to pick up more of the load around the house. With my time already being pressed, I just don’t see a whole lot of time in the next few weeks to do this blog justice, so I’m thinking a one-month sabbatical is in order. Who knows? Maybe I’ll be blogging just to keep my sanity – we’ll see. That was what our upcoming New Orleans vacation was supposed to do, but that’s gone by the board as well.

So I’ll be taking a break from regular blogging. Please keep checking in from time to time – if I can, I’ll keep you posted on the comings and goings here in the Valley of the Sun. And please keep this house in your thoughts and prayers.

I gotta feeling we’re gonna need them.
