I miss ZG?

She hasn’t been posting much but she did yesterday? Or am I thinking incorrectly.

Wow, ladies, you are so powerful, and such a light in my life. So sorry for being absentee lately. First of all, I’m doing ok, so don’t worry. 🙂 I pop on SOS almost every day and read, but admittedly, I’m not spending the hours per day that I used to, and I know I haven’t been posting as much in the past few weeks.
It’s been a combination of things. First, it’s just life’s duties catching up with me. I’ve been working more hours at my job, and as a result, coming home with a bigger “to do” list. Then there’s my son who’s graduating from highschool this year. Wow—I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve gone to college, but “Applying-for-getting-accepting-at-and-figuring-out-every-detail-inbetween” has become a second job it seems!
And truth be told, as I was talking to SL about in recent weeks, I’ve felt the need to take a mental break from posting. I don’t even know why…sometimes maybe we just go through a stage where all thoughts of SA seem overwhelming?? I say that because it has NOTHING to do with my amazing sisters. But for some reason, I guess I’ve just needed a mental recess from SA. I hope it’s not denial…more of a “time out.”
In any case, I feel like I’m at the end of my little break, and have felt ready to read and post again. I would have been on here sooner this weekend, but I was with my daughter at a dance competition all weekend. (I have the pics to prove it, lol! Maybe I’ll send a couple to JoAnn to post.)
Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is that if you feel the need to take a break, I think it’s ok. That’s what I think it means when we say, “go easy, and take care of yourself.” This site is for US, and it’s here to meet our needs, thanks to JoAnn. If someone takes a break, so many others are here to fill in the gaps. That being said, it’s so amazing how we miss each other when we seem to go MIA for awhile. You all are the best sisters imaginable. Love ya!!! ZG

Julie,

When my oldest son started the college thing I kept telling him, “Why are you looking at me as if I have any clue how to do this?” My daughter is a senior next year and I’ve told her, “Ok… I’ll be of a little more use to you now.”

It’s as if the first kid is a complete experiment and test run.

If (as Liza accurately put it) normal life is keeping you distracted from the SA BS… we are all really happy for you.

Hugs,
Kim

Nap,
Have you missed ME??? 🙂

Just sayin…..

Awww… Thanks Nap!! I love you and all the sisters!
My new pattern is….going to the holler on Thurs/Fri and staying until Mon/Tues. While I am there, I generally take a big break from the Internet in general! I won’t lie- if I get a chance, I take a peek at SOS to be sure no one is in extreme dire straits….but then I usually don’t really read and post till I get home and then I usually pull an all nighter and get caught up!! Crazy but I miss everyone desperately each week! Gotta find a better balance! Especially if I ever move down there!!!

I was just teasing about missing me- but thanks! 🙂
