		<description>You have nada to worry about - I blogged today for the first time in 24 days! Now, that&#039;s a slump! Like your new look, btw.

And the post about &#039;perfect kids&#039; - great!

		<description>I really enjoy reading your blog.  Just thought I&#039;d let you know.  From you, I found seriously so blessed and let me tell you that sure has been fun.  I originally found your blog through The Natural Mommy&#039;s recipe swap, and I still make your recipe from the post &quot;Better than Brownies.&quot;  Just thought I&#039;d let ya know.  I love your writing!

		<description>I think it is the august slump or something, as I&#039;ve been out of the game for awhile. Glad to see you back though and have to agree that I wouldn&#039;t put &quot;quality&quot; next to any of the Twilight series books (and yes, I&#039;ll be torn limb from limb by the crazy 30-somethings that just HEART Edward...eww)

		<description>No apologies for taking a break.  I didn&#039;t even notice.  See, when I found you several days ago, I bookmarked your page.  The problem is I bookmarked *that specific post* and then each day when I check back in, I was only going to that post but didn&#039;t realize it.  I kept seeing the same post, and just thought you were taking a little end of summer vacation!   Now that I&#039;ve corrected my link and you&#039;re back from vacay, I&#039;ll be looking forward to your updates!</description>

		<description>You should win a gold medal for the stunning point that baseball should only have 4 innings.

		<description>I feel a slump coming on myself -- find myself having those moments where I wonder why I&#039;m bothering with blogging at all.

Nuff about me - glad you&#039;re back.  I suppose the little community of blogging moms is the reason why I&#039;m sticking around.

		<description>I was doing a bit of stumbling myself and found your sight.  I have finally found another mother that says what most won&#039;t. Love it!  I feel I owe it my children and future generations to not sugar coat things and to tell it like it is so that they do go not go into trauma induced shock when they are hit with the real world.  No deer in the headlights at this house.  If you feel like some innocent blog-stalking,  feel free to stop by.  I can not guarantee quite the wittiness you are so adept at, but I try to keep it real.

		<description>Hey MereCat, JanMary, and Beth -- I&#039;ve stumbled a post each of yours (is that good grammar? I doubt it). Anyway, you can see them here: http://whataboutmom.stumbleupon.com/

Let me know if you get famous or rich, okay? (or if you gain any insights on stumbling!)</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t ever take a break again. (hahaha) The blogosphere was miserably lonely without you. I&#039;m totally interested in your stumble post - I find the stumble to be a double-edged sword. When somebody stumbles me I get an enormous amount of hits (over 1,000 in one day) but I&#039;m not sure how many new readers I really get. And then when I stumble along all I seem to find is a bunch of really bad sites which just makes me realize how much junk really does exist on the internet. 

As for anything interesting while you were gone...well, I did a good post about play areas in fast food restaurants being complete mayhem. I did a couple of birthday posts. I posted about why we don&#039;t use the word housewife any longer - hmmm. But really, are any of those interesting to anybody else but me? I have no idea. 

Glad to have you back Jane -

		<description>I would love you to drop by and Stumble something on my blog - no-one ever has :(

(Now I am worried you might not find anything worth stumbling!)

Great post - I try not to apologise when I take a bloggy break, but I usually do (apologise).

BTW you did ask if I knew any other NI/UK twitterers (sp?) - sorry - I seem to follow americans!</description>

		<description>Hey I feel you on the lame posting thing.  I just can&#039;t come up with anything worth littering the internet more than once a week at very best.  But I did add a nice little pollyanna about preschool if you&#039;re looking to stumble.</description>
