GuestConversation with my 7 year old daughter today…. Me: When I was a kid there was no such thing as the internet.
DD: Really? You were so lucky!
Me: Lucky? Why?
DD: Because your mom probably had lots more time to play with you.
Forgive me if you don’t see me hanging around the forum quite as much in the future, but I have five incredible kids that I need to go play with. Later all!

GuestVery sweet!! Yes, go play with your kids. We’ll miss you but boy do I understand. This parent business is a tricky balancing act. We have needs too but our kids are only small for a short time. Good luck with the balancing act. CG

GuestGood point — I find my face is ALWAYS in my computer. Yes, on this site, but mostly as a break when I’m bored with my day-to-day work which keeps me beholden to my desk. Fortunately I spend a lot of time with my kids anyway, but they too say “I’m always at my computer” which bothers them!!!

GuestKids > Webz Responsible choice Flowerdrops. Good for you!
Like SD, my postings are mostly my mental “smoke breaks” at work.

Yes is is a balancing act. For one thing groups such as this help me to keep sane. (Hard to be a good mama when your not!) But on the other hand I spend way too much time on the computer. I am very involved with an online writers critique group (We recently wrote and published this poetry anthology…
) I also assist my husband with some of his business, and I have been busy launching my own business as well. All this means my face is buried in the computer more than I would like. Somehow the kids and I manage to get all our schooling in and have some fun too. It’s tricky stuff though.http://www.amazon.com/Eyeball-My-Garden-Other-Spine-Tingling/dp/0761456554/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1294620029&sr=1-1 -
