A ONE-DAY HIATUS

Some of you know this already, but I am sorry to announce that my mother passed away just before Christmas. It is a hell of a time of year to go...I wouldn't wish it on anyone to have to deal with everything in the way of funeral preparations as well as trying to keep a stiff upper lip for the kids, etc. at the same time, because it's Christmas. I've tried to keep myself in a good frame of mind by staying active on LJ and doing a lot of posts and stuff. But at the same time I have had a lot of other things to do and I am at the point where I think I have exhausted myself. Because we have had to delay things for a month now, my mom's memorial service is being held tomorrow. Everything is ready and after tomorrow, I think I can start to put my life back to normal again.

So because I will be gone for the whole day tomorrow I will probably not be online until Sunday at least. After that I will try my best to catch up on all your posts that I have missed. My commenting, etc., has been rather sporadic over the past few weeks and for that I apologize. I have read some great and interesting posts that I dearly wanted to comment on but was just too exhausted to come up with anything coherent so I left it. I'll try to make up when I come back.

*KISSES TO ALL*

See you soon!♥
