Where is the robots.txt stored for a WordPress Multisite install?

It’s dynamically generated by the function do_robots(), which has both an action (do_robotstxt) and a filter (robots_txt). If you create a robots.txt file in your WordPress root, it will (probably) be served up when /robots.txt is requested, otherwise processing will fall back on WordPress.

Your current file looks like this:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Sitemap: http://mikewills.me/sitemaps/mikewills-me.xml.gz

The first two settings are appropriate for an indexable blog. So, you may just be waiting for Google at this point. Maybe you need to request reconsideration of your site.
