Holy Hannah! This has been rough!
I don't know who these DDOS people are, but I'm all for being vindictive and unkind to them. There have been good things over the past three days. I've added several more people to my IM Buddy list. And I've had lovely email chats with people who's email address I was smart enough to SAVE in my address book. But, I am feeling totally deprived after not being able to log on and read your blogs.
I was tempted to go up to total strangers yesterday and ask them if they kept a journal and could I PLEASE read it. Now, I can read posts, but can't access comments. That's okay. Well, not really, but at least I can READ!!!!

So on the assumption that if you are reading this, you are feeling similarly anxious to know the intimate details of the lives of the people you have in your SIR - - -
We are up to our ears in homeschool and I'm finding that the new materials, the new books, the new ideas I'm implementing this year have given me a renewed enthusaism for the process. I had been really discouraged over the past few months, wondering if maybe it was time to enroll the kids in a "regular" school. Throw in the towel. I'm glad I didn't do that.
I'm feeling better. Saw my doctor yesterday and got a good report. My infection is gone and the symptoms seem to be abating. He says that because of the type and degree of my infection I could have some residual effects for a couple more weeks but it's looking really good now.
I noticed yesterday that the boys need a haircut. In the past I have attempted to cut their hair myself, but I think I'd have had more consistent results if I'd been trying to cut Tucker's hair while he was bouncing on a pogo stick. At least then he would primarily be limited to an up and down motion as opposed the the random up - side - turn - round - down - twist thing that he does. So I'm going to pay someone ELSE to cut his hair, and I'll probably tip her as much as the cost of the basic haircut.
How about a happy thought?

oh my gosh...i actually got in to make a comment???? huzzah! (you're my first in days...how does it feel?)
been kind of weird...i feel bad for the xanga dudes that are trying to fix this.
I've missed xanga (the reading and following along in the parts of people's lives they are willing to share) but there are other parts of it I haven't missed. (that probably makes no sense).
I just miss reading...and having a place to vent my blahs and non-blahs.
look!!! i'm babbling on like a fool...(some things never change.) i'll stop. don't want to push my luck.
Very happy to be able to read you and all the others in my SIR again! I suffered near-DT's from Xanga over the past 5 days!
I loved the comment about going up to total strangers........giggle!
I feel like I'm here all alone, movin' at a million miles an hour. Is this the new server, or is it just 'cause most folks haven't discovered it's up yet??
Missed you! Yay that you are feeling better!!!! And glad to hear about the new energy re: homeschool. I hope when we have kids that I'm half the mom you are. Take care!
: )
LOL! It's like a reunion, even though it hasn't been THAT long.... I think I'm gonna pass out from all the joy going around that Xanga's up again.
Good to see you back - congrats on not giving up on homeschooling (been there, felt that!) and I'm glad you're getting better! Yay!
I am glad that you're finding your groove in homeschooling. And, your comment about walking up to toal strangers is a hoot. And then I realized that that's exactly what we've got here on Xanga.
LOL... I was jonesing too!! It was a lot like looking for cigarette butts on the ground that I could light for just one hit. (I never did that in real life. Thought I should add that.)
I think DDOS oughta be a felony.....
the saying-- You don't know what you've got until you've lost it... -- took on a special meaning for me.
It's so nice to be back. I missed it too.
And I remember the days I was up to my ears in Homeschool. I loved it though. My Mom now has a homeschool co-op with one hundred students. It's amazing. I never thought homeschooling would become what it is today, but it's a great thing, I think. -Kate
Nice to have Xanga back, alright. Makes you wonder about people who are obviously intelligent enough to hack the site, but use their intelligence in this way. Whatever happened to toilet papering a house as a prank/
I like this comment design!
My mom always cut my hair as a kid. In retrospect, that's probably not a good thing.
Glad to be back, glad to see everyone!
Welcome back!! I loved your comment about the strangers journals and the pogo stick. I cut my boys hair, and hubby's hair, but luckily hubby's always turns out better than the boys. he he
Glad you're feeling better!
ahh, xanga, I had NO idea how completely addicted I was until I didn't have it. It's like Being John Malcovich, where I have a portal into other people's heads.
I'm so glad to be inside your head! Three cheers for Xanga!
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I know when I don't feel good and out of sorts...any effort seems a lot.....You won't regret the decision to homeschool, you just didn't feel good at the time of the thought!!
Geesh...you get to mow the lawn too!??? Wanna come out here and help me weed the garden!? Lol...
Fortunate I must make a clean breast you must be suitable the same as permanently
