Problogger once asked us what we do with our blogs on the weekend.  I do try to look for breaking news on the childbearing and women’s health front on weekends, but I do need some time with my friends and family on Saturdays and Sundays so the Sad but True Speed Links for Saturday and Parenting Quotes of the Week are generally written whenever I get a spare moment and set to publish on weekends.

Some of you may remember that I pre-wrote 22 posts that appeared while I was on vacation. I took a break from the Internet for three weeks, the first time I had been away from a computer for more than a few days in over ten years. I was worried about digital withdrawal and I know that, among mothers, I am not the only one who had forgotten how to let go of my work during “down time.”
If you’re interested, here is an article I wrote for the Globe and Mail about how I coped during that time.
