Work the last few weeks has sucked. I didn't have all my favorite peeps there. It was boring and I had to pretend to enjoy Cha Cha's stories...over...and over...and over again!!
Last week, I got some comedy relief from Kim...but I was SOOOOoooooo bored when she wasn't there.
Between seeing Princess yesterday, and the Richert family today, I'm feeling WAY ready for the 8th!
It's funny how life seems to stand still in the absence of you all.

My kids are driving me crazy a lot lately. You know, fighting, being stinky, not behaving. Don't they understand how much easier life would be for all involved if they just stopped it? Sigh.
I've put aside the whole "up for adoption" thing for now, but I may reconsider if they get into a battle again tomorrow! Trust me, I know how to find an agency that would make Annie feel blessed!

I have very great friends who live inside my laptop. They talk with me when no one else is around. They play games with me and poke me on Facebook. I don't see these people any differently than the friends I have that live close. The main difference is that I can't hug them...except cyberly! This is an odd concept to many. I understand that. I know that it's hard to trust that people can become real friends over a machine. I assure you, they can.
When you take a group of people with common interests and time to feel lonely, they can connect in spite of the venue. Some of these friends, I've had for years now.
I truly love some of my internet friends. They are no less real to me than my TKD peeps. I am not a desperately insane freak because I trust some people I've never seen face to face.
Not everyone on a forum is out to kidnap my kids. Not all of them are stalkers who are lying about their identity. Not all of them are looking to have cyber sex with strangers.
Just like in real life, you can pick out the freaks from the trustworthy.
It's hard to talk about my web friends. I care about them tremendously. They have supported me through a TON of crap. They are not pretend friends. They are, at times, the most real friends I have.

It's good to know that you don't think we're freaks! :) Sorry about all the Cha-Cha stories. You should have konked him over the head with his crutch!
Oh, and when kids realize that life would be smoother if they'd just do what they have to do and listen to those in authority.... they'll be grown-ups :)
So, does that mean that I'm not an adult yet???
Not that you'd do WHAT YOU'RE TOLD but that you'd DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO... You know, like, get out of bed in the mornings, be somewhat responsible.... :)
Yep, I have been on a couple of message boards where I felt like that, too. On one, a scrapbooking board, we even sent our journals around to each other to write in/scrap in. It's a favorite scrapbook of mine. The world's too big to limit your circle of friends to your town. I'm with ya, hon.
