I really took time off this holiday season. No tweeting. No blogging. I think I checked my email once or twice. I was very proud of myself for staying away from the laptop.

When Monday came around, though, I was EXCITED to get back to work, and more than a little scared of the avalanche of email I knew was coming my way. It's the first week of January. Focus. Hunker down.

Then I realize that there wasno school on Monday for some reason. Kids are home with mom. No working today. Ok. Breathe. I can get going tomorrow. I sent off a quick post to remind everyone to watch This Emotional Life and that was about all I could get done.

Then yesterday AT&T'sInternet servicedecided to give me a heart attack by NOT WORKING. At all. Don't the people at AT&T know that the rest of us have emails to send and tweets to tweet? What did we do without technology? If I sent a blog post via smoke signal, how many people would see it?

As of this morning, the internet is back up and running now so be patient with me and I'll get to the emails and I'll try and write something that is helpful or compelling in some way in this little space called Postpartum Progress. Happy New Year everybody!
