Mar. 8, 2006 - homeschool yearbook

today we had another meeting to put together our homeschooling yearbook. We are almost done. Usually three momma's come and one high schooler. We have other high schoolers on the yearbook team, but they don't usually come to the layout meetings.

Now, we've had a hard time with folks responding to our pleas to buy a yearbook. We need 100 orders for yearbooks and we only have 57. We have 180 families in our local "support" group. We were talking today about the whys of families not wanting to "support" us. We don't understand. We buy the girl scout cookies they ask us about and the fundraisers for band and basketball teams.

I think we are a very disconnected and un-unified. I wish I could find the kind of close friends and support groups I long for. I wonder how all this is connected. Do we have prejudices--religious, I mean? What keeps everyone from so far apart? Cell phones? I don't know, I'm just wondering out loud.

    Posted by Greg

    Isn't is ironic that our society has so many tools to be "connected" electronically, but seems so disconnected personally? Hmmm. I think it's because with electronic connection you get to be connected on your own terms and disconnect yourself when you get tired of someone. Yet with personal connection you have to sometimes sacrifice inconvenient time and put up with people you don't always like.
