Tuesday, November 21, 2006 - Isolation
|
I think I may have a problem. I am starting to think I have more contact with my blog friends than I do with my friends in real life. I am getting the feeling that I am getting left behind. I don't know why. Well, I kinda do, but I won't talk about that. Tis a pretty sad thing really. I spend a lot of time doing school during the day. The kids only have one outside the home actvity on Wednesday evenings. I may talk to a friend about once a week on the phone. It used to be a lot more. I find myself holed up in my house except to run errands once or twice a week. The rest of my free time is on the computer. Really, my life is getting pathetic. I think I am starting to understand what another blogging friend told me once. I have several friends who read my blog, so they likely feel like they know what is going on in my life. So there is no need to call me to catch up. They are caught up. I however, have no clue what goes on in their life. Is this unhealthy?

Take walks, go for drives, visit friends, call them! Don't become a blogging tragedy!
In Today's News
"Homeschool Mom found dead at her computer.
Evidence shows that you can die of lonliness.
I can't believe you don't think e-mailing me all week isn't communication! You could call me instead, and I'll tell you all the little details of my life, like how to arange cars alphabetically, the new exercise I've learned called, "Please put a BB in my air rifle mom because I'm in the prone position squats" and last but not least, sing you the new ditty made up by my children about nasal evacuation procedures. It'll be fun dahling.

| you can call or email the friends who read your blog to get caught up on their lives! I know what you mean, though. I find myself reading more blogs sometimes when I am craving communication. Being home all day with the kiddoes is wonderful, but it doesn't fulfill my conversational needs. It is easy to feel we can get that online. Does your homeschool group meet often enough? Do you have "play dates" or other activities so the kids can play and the moms can chat? We have a "game day" at a local park (with an indoor gym) that is as much fun for the moms as for the kids! Twice a month, and rarely do people miss it! Too bad it would take you all day to get here for it, we'd love to have you! |

Welcome to 2006. I feel the same way often, I get fewer phone calls because people feel caught up on my life.
I plan on calling you today. We are heading your way around noon and I could swing by and pick up whatever it is you have on the way to my in-laws because I have to swing by and pick something else up at my brothers. I'll call you.

I struggle with the same thing. I rarely talk to anyone on the phone or in person, it seems. Mine is not because they are all caught up with my blog I don't think. It seems like people are just too busy with their own lives and families. People are always in a hurry and don't have time to sit and chat. It's very discouraging sometimes, and if I'm not careful, I can take it personally--"They don't want to talk to me." I am also limited in outside activities for a couple of reasons. For about 2 years, several moms and their "teenage" daughters got together once a month to do something fun--window shopping in Gatlinburg, putt-putt, bowling, game night. That ended last year, and I really, really miss that one night a month with those moms. We had more fun than the girls. I need to be more aggressive about inviting others over or going places with others, but I'm not sure how to get everything in that everyone says we "need" to be doing. I'm also a perfectionist, but far from "perfect" (ha), so I stress out cleaning and preparing to have people over.
I hope you can find a way to get more in touch with people you enjoy. It's interesting- I know you have a lot of friends here, so I imagine you to be a very popular person. I think our problem is in reaching out.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Is it unhealthy? I don't know. I do know that before I had kids, I could afford to spend much more time on the phone. After they came along, email was much better for me. I rarely answer the phone because it hardly ever seems like it's a good time. I do try to email my real-life friends, then my once-a-week coffee night out and walking twice a week with my exercise partner is about all the real-life conversations I get.
I can see and have felt like blogging could easily take over my life. I've begun posting less for that very reason - so my expert answer (hee hee) is yes, it can be unhealthy, but doesn't have to be. It's been a while since you've posted this so I'm wondering what your thoughts are now given a few days of thought.
