Perchance to dream…
Johnny has announced that he’s hanging up his blogging hat, and I’m going to ride on his shirt-tail and go on indefinite hiatus.
I’m not writing interesting posts. I’m not answering comments like I’d like. I have a small enough readership that this shouldn’t impact people much.
But the main reason is that I’m just dog-tired.
There are a few reasons for this - a few of which you know, a few of which you don’t. The ones you know are the tiredness that comes from trying to keep up with a toddler who gets a total of 13 hours of sleep a day (vs. my 7-if-I’m-lucky), and the tiredness that comes from trying to wrench some writing out of my addled brain.
The ones you don’t are that I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism (it’s mild), and that I’m currently 4w3d pregnant. Still too early to mean a lot, but not so early that I’m not exhausted nearly all the time. Anything could happen there, and I’m in a much better place than I ever was in my pregnancy with M., but in the meantime I’m tired to the bone and I just need to rest.
I’m still up and occasionally around on my livejournal site - if you’d like to stick around, I’d love to see you over there. I’ll still be reading and - hopefully - commenting, but I need to rest for awhile.

Hey, I’ll miss you. I have enjoyed found your posts interesting and thought provoking. I hope you will be feeling better soon. That must be why you have been feeling so depressed….hormones! It can sure be rough at first, especially when you are still doing the diaper thing with a toddler. But, it is worth it. Totally worth it. Hang in there.
Your little MM is so adorable and obviously a great joy to you and your husband. The new little kiddo will be too. I have a Chinese daughter-in-law and a gorgeous toddler grandchild, so I relate to your situation somewhat. I appreciate your writing because you don’t seem to have such an issue about race as some of the other blogs I’ve read. I had no idea people were so defensive about the subject. I am thankful that my son and DIL don’t have such chips on their shoulders! It seems like a much healthier attitude. They have a blog too, but would kill me if I gave it out in a public venue. (email me privately if you want to see another blog of a gorgeous, brilliant little girl!)
So anyway, I’ll be watching your other site. Take good care of yourself.

Wow, congrats on the baby news!!! Now I’m super excited for our lunch date - which will happen, I swear! I’ll miss checking in on this site but I’ll watch your other one from now on. Take care of yourself and get lots of rest (when you can)!
