Ugh!!

How in the world did we ever get so dependent on the internet?  And so quickly! 

You would think the world had ended, because I can't log on.  We've had major storms in our area in the last week, more rain than we have seen in almost 25 years, and there are phone company problems galore.  It has made my DSL seem like I'm using a 14k modem.  It takes me about 2 hours to read through 10 or 12 e-mail messages.  It's got me really cranky, I can't post for fear of the thing getting lost in cyberspace, or taking 30 minutes to load up.  I've got to wonder to myself, is it worth it? 

I'm re-thinking my priorities right now, wondering just what the worth of blogging is.  No digs toward anyone who loves to spend time doing it, I'm just in this spot right now.  Contemplating. 

I'm starting a new business and it's taking a lot of my time.  I'm also getting really into reading the classics with Jessica and the group, and we're starting a brand new year homeschooling.  8th grade.  I can hardly believe that. 

I'm thinking I'll keep reading the blogs I really enjoy reading, and maybe blog here about once a week, to get those really important rants out of my system.

What are your thoughts on the matter?  How do you fit it all in?
