Watcha Gonna Do?

As some of you may have noticed, I have been MIA lately. Things have been been not so fun in our neck of the woods. My mom took a nasty fall on Halloween and broke her hip. I have spent most of my free time at the hospital. Additionally, I have been sick for almost three weeks. It started as a flu and turned into a double ear/sinus infection. Not fun. I am hoping to start to get caught up on blogging as soon these antibiotics start to take effect and my mom gets settled at home but until then, I will be a bit scarce.

In the meantime, I would REALLY appreciate you taking 5 minutes check to out a post my friend Debi did by clicking here.  It is about a new website and a cause very close to my heart, pediatric cancer. PLEASE take a look at the site (my dear friends, the Whitts are involved in this project. They lost their daughter Tuesday to neuroblastoma.) and pass the link on to others via your blogs or email. It is so important that we raise awareness so pediatric cancer can begin to get more attention and more funding. September was Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month and how many times did you see any mention of it in the media? I never did. Of course we all knew that October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month and many of us participated in fundraising. I think we need to have that kind of awareness of cancers that kill little kids every day. Please help us in spreading awareness for the cause. It only takes a few minutes of your day and can lead to bigger and better things for families forced to endure the struggles that pediatric cancer brings. Thank you and I hope to be back in the blogosphere again soon!

Oh no! I'm so sorry you've been sick and sorry to hear about your mom's fall! I hope you're all doing better soon!

Off to check Debi's post!

Oh and BTW, I keep seeing ads on Craigslist under the "writing" section of companies looking for bloggers to write articles about travel and photography. Paid, of course. It made me think of you so I wanted to mention it.
