Where I Face the Music

In addition to the car drama, a lot has been happening around here. I am about to start a new job, and just as I was prepared for that, an opportunity came up to continue working with my current position on a contractor basis. This means a lot more money for our family, which is more than necessary with two car repair bills looming.

It also means a lot of hours away from my family, something I've struggled with while making the decision to keep both positions. For the next few months, I have to put my big girl pants on and accept that the things that are taking me away from my family for the short-term will ultimately allow us to comfortably spend more time together in the long-term...and hopefully grow our little family, too!

It means I need to make a conscious effort to spend every non-working second keeping my marriage and my parenting as the biggest priority.

And this means taking a longer hiatus than I had planned.

As much as I wish I could do it all, I know I can't. As much as I know I will miss this outlet and corner of the Internet, I also know I would miss so much more if I didn't take a step back for awhile.

I won't pretend there won't be days where I'll want to post, and maybe I will. And I hope to be back to posting as usual after the holidays. In the meantime, I look forward to keeping up with as many blogs as I can and seeing you all on Twitter and hopefully some of you in person.

I hope when I return, I'll see all your smiling faces and amazing comments. For the last two years, I have depended on you and turning my back on that, no matter how brief, isn't an easy decision. I don't ever take that for granted.

All my best for a beautiful and happy rest of the year!

Stephanie

:-( But I get it. Life is like that at times. Take the time now, you'll be glad in the long run. Good Luck!

Kat said...

This makes me so sad, but it's absolutely the right choice, lady. What it means for your long-term is worth the effort in the short term.

Regardless, in the short term, you know how to find me :)

SmartBear said...

Totally get it...and wishing you well. You know where to find me for a virtual martini at 2 a.m. if you need one, right? :)
Hang in there and go get 'em!
Best,
Tina

Good luck to you and bravo for doing what is most important to you!

There always comes a time when you reach this crossroads with blogging....I did when I had the baby and came back stronger than ever. Your family is definitely the most important..and maybe you'll come back with some pregnancy stories?? ;)

Totally get it. Just so you know, I really look forward to your posts. I'll be here. Keep in touch, ok?

Mads said...

I have taken my fair share of breaks from blogging. It's totally necessary at times. We'll be waiting here for you when you get back!
I'll miss your corner of the internet until then :)

I completely relate to what you've written here and totally respect your choice. I'm a big fan of the idea that we have many seasons of life and it sounds like this is a season when it makes a lot of sense to have blogging take a back seat for awhile. We'll be waiting whenever you're ready to return. In the meantime, be well and good luck with everything on your plate.

Wow! You have a lot going on. I don't blame you for stepping back from blogging. Good luck with all that you are managing, and look forward to seeing you when you are back!
