I know Sofia and I are, but what's up with everyone else?? This is such a fantastic board. Has something happened? Where have you all been? Is there anything we can do to fix this?? Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like everyone has slowly been moving on? If you are still here and just busy post to me..If you are still here but don't feel a part anymore post to me..if you are here but have been hurt or feel overlooked post to me..You are all important to me!! I miss so many of you! I hope we can get the old gang up and running again and enjoy this board! ( not that I don't still enjoy it here)We are all so good about sharing how we feel here and working things through, if something on the board doesn't sit well with you

I guess I just am not feeling the board funk. Everything looks hunky dory from my perspective. I am missing a few gals who I'm assuming have just been busy lately. Andrea, Rhonda, and StL-Shannon, to name a couple. I really haven't seen any indication that people are unhappy with the board. I hope I'm not missing anything.

Maybe I'm off the mark...I do miss everyone though, and wish they would hurry back soon.

I'm in a funk too, Rose. Blah blah blah. So many things are going on and I really don't feel like talking about them right now. Not that I have a problem sharing them with you ladies, I just want to ignore my feelings right now.

Well, I'm pretty new here so I'm sure you're not talking to me...However, I will say that since I "joined" I've been busy w/getting ready for our vacation and the vacation itself.

ok, well, since the subject has been brought up, here's what's going on with me...

I have been struggling for a while now trying to decide if it is time for me to move on.
Ever since we started dealing with Kyle's grandma being sick, then gone for the funeral, I have felt out of place. I've tried to get back into the swing of things, but I'm really struggling. I had a great time that week and a half when I was gone, and really reconnected with Kyle and the kids.

(BTW... I stepped down from Southern Moms last week)

I just have so much going on right now too... with homeschooling, Girl Scouts, Natalie wants to play soccer and then start ballet back up again after it's over, and Hannah & Brayden need me.

I feel healthier & happier when I am busy around the house instead of sitting at the computer all day responding to posts. Plus I've gotten to the point that I feel like I neglect spending time with my kids sometimes b/c "mommy has things to do on the computer"... and I hate telling my kids that.
The board is so busy, and I feel so guilty if I don't respond to every post, or welcome every newbie.

I need to try to work out some kind of schedule so that I can still spend time here and not feel guilty about it. The kids start "school" monday, and I'm hoping that once we get into a routine, that it will be easier for me. I can do my work here while they work at the table on their assignments.

I have to admit too that I don't enjoy posting in the dyk thread as much anymore... the whole asparagus thing was funny for a while, but we don't need to bring it up all the time along with details. You can count on one hand the number of times I drink in one year, and even joking about lesbian relationships really grosses me out.

I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings or step on any toes... these are just some things I've been feeling. You ladies know how much I love you.

I hope I'm making sense...

Desiree, I can't speak for everyone else, but I'd gladly omit some of the topics we've brought up in the dyk's if it meant you'd visit us down there more often. I never want to offend anyone and am sorry if I did. I'm glad you told us.

As far as balancing computer and family time, I totally relate. I hope you're able to make it work for you in a way that doesn't remove you from the board completely.
