I'm taking some time this morning to forget about housework (which I should forget about on Sunday, a day of rest, anyways!), schoolwork, and other pending things I have so that I can catch up with my fellow bloggers. I haven't had much time to "visit" with everyone that I like to catch up with. Besides the other blogs I have listed there are lots of others I like to look at too!
Anyways, I think back to how alone I felt before I started blogging compared to how much support, comraderie, knowledge, and even entertainment I experience by blogging and "visiting" other bloggers. I am so glad to have this at a time when I'm less able to get out and about outside of my home!

How's things???
I'm tired today. I wore out little boys yesterday for my sitter. And of course they woke up early... normal :)
Email works too...

Thanks for the reminder about e-mail, S! I don't keep up too well that way right now, only because there's just not a lot of time for me.
I'm no better and I admit it. If I get a message I try to reply quickly or it gets loss in the day to day stuff.
Not feeling 100% today... so I'm hiding :)

Blogging has opened a new world for me to.
So heres to blogging!
I do not have friends, in the real world. I tend to be a bit reclusive. So blogging lets me meet and enjoy many types of people and allows me some freedom to express myself.
I have tried forums in the past and do not "get along" well. They tend to be cliquey (sp). Anyway, I love your shareing about the kids and the awesome photography.
I have found "real world" friendships difficult to maintain the past few years too, mainly because of the difficulty in socializing because of Samuel's autism. However, there's more to it than that. My husband and oldest son's auto racing makes our calendar very unpredictable during the summer. Also, my husband and I aren't the most social people to begin with (as I'm sure any of my "real world" friends who read this would readily agree!).
Not to take away from my friendships, because I value them very much, but blogging has given me a connection with others regarding something that defines my family's life right now. This is especially the case regarding autism acceptance. I just don't have this kind of connection with others locally, at least not right now.
Thank you for the CM help. I'm sorry it took so long to send a thanks back.

I know what you mean about not having much time. Homeschool is taking a lot more time than I thought it would.
