Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu.
I never ever thought I would stop blogging. But right now I don't know how to keep going. So I am signing off. I am officially not going to finish NapoBlahBlah. I may or may not be back. I don't know. If I am back in any way shape or form, I will announce it here. It won't be secret.
But for now, before the blahs take over this blog entirely and I look back on it in a few years and regret letting it get so down, I will put it on hold.
(*cue Sound of Music)
Oh no! That sucks!! I will miss you!!

I'll miss your blog, but realize that you have other things to take care of (oooh, I hate ending a sentence with 'of'). Good luck with everything - hope you'll be back to blogging soon!
Posted by: C | November 17, 2008 at 08:10 PM
Enjoy your break. I will miss you very much. I hope you do come back someday.
Posted by: MissPinkKate | November 17, 2008 at 08:18 PM
I'm so sorry that you're feeling so much stress and gloom these days. I know how that goes. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, or if you just need to gripe. Thinking of you.

Posted by: kris | November 17, 2008 at 09:32 PM
Man this sucks. So hope things change sometime and you'll start blogging again.
Take care of yourself and family.

We have a fairly difficult situation to cope with.... (for years now) and your blog provided me a nice happy break from it all.
Thank you for sharing your family, writing, and style with us all :)

Just started reading this summer. I loved it and I will miss checking to see if there's anything new going on across the northern border. Hope you can recharge and start writing again. Has anyone checked the statistics for Napo Blah Blah, has this month of torture, I mean insight taken any other bloggers? Down with it then, someone make it stop......

Please take care of all 4 of you and email me if you return. I've loved following you for the last 2 years and will miss the updates.
As one for whom this Nov blogging thing is getting me down too and which is also forcing me to go private eventually, I so understand.
Take care and best wishes.
Posted by: 3cmum | November 18, 2008 at 05:18 PM
Nooo! Please come back soon. I will miss you guys.

I'm going to miss you my dear. Come back anytime even if it's just for the occasional picture or interesting link. We'll all wanna know how you're doing. Keep in touch if you can, ok? I'm keeping you on my bloglines.
Posted by: Katie J | November 18, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Please take care of yourself. And if you need anything, just holler.
Posted by: Sister Carrie | November 18, 2008 at 11:32 PM
Oh no, after being a long time reader and lurker of your blog, I am really sad that you are going. I hope you do come back. I love reading about you and your family.
I hope you feel better soon and everything falls into place.
Posted by: Tracey | November 19, 2008 at 12:36 AM
Oh Sweetie, I'm sorry everything is getting you down and overwhelmed. Try and take a few steps back and imagine what you would advise a friend to do if she were in your position. Its amazing what excellent wisdom we all have in us for others but sometimes struggle to access for ourselves. Equally we all tend to cut others way more slack and kindness than we ever give ourselves, so don't forget to show yourself some TLC.
Don't cut yourself off, keep talking to us when you can and remember I'm always available when venting is required,
Take care,
Debsx

Oh I so hope everything is going to work out for you all. I know life gets hard sometimes. Take care of yourself and your family. I will be thinking of you!
I am a daily reader and you will be sorely missed. I do hope you return if only for my selfishness ;) Thanks for the laughs and the thoughts thru these years.

Hi, what a surprise! Sorry to hear this, I truly hope you come back.
If I return to Montreal next summer for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, I'll try to get in touch so I can meet you in person, if you are willing to meet a complete stranger who lurked often on your blog.
take care and sending you lots of hugs from une montrèalaise à une autre,
gros bisous,
Anna
