I disappeared.

I'm sorry ladies. I kinda disappeared after the new year. I've had so much going on, I just let anything that wasn't essential to daily survival go to the wayside. My 2 year old daughter came down with a nasty fever (my thermometer once read 105.6) that just didn't want to go away and didn't respond to medicine very well. There were quite a few times I almost ran her to the ER. It's also been very difficult because Mark started a new recording project. Usually he works from his studio in our basement, but this one is on site and he leaves every day at noon and comes home usually after midnight. I've had to arrange babysitters every week day (when I actually have gone in due to Lyla's sickness). It's been a heck of a year so far and we're not even half way through the first month. But life is getting back on track. Lyla's better now and Mark's project finishes (at least the on site part) this Friday. So, I'm back and I hope you'll all forgive me for my disappearance.
