Apparently I have fallen off the face of the earth. I currently have in my various in boxes many emails from friends wanting to “catch up”. I guess I am just not very good at keeping in touch with people (when I no longer see them in the course of my daily life – i.e. old coworkers, team mates, friends who moved, etc.). It doesn’t help that if I spend more than a few minutes on the computer Chanler wants to type too :p

Also of late, I have not been as religious in my attendance at some of my mom’s groups. I have been feeling tired physically and mentally not willing to make my parenting choices appear to fit in with those moms. I know everyone makes the best decision for them, but I still feel that since I am the only one doing things this way (in one particular group) that I have to defend my position and not complain when my way seems to make more work for me now.

WOW this wasn’t supposed to turn into a vent, but there you go, it has.

So in general we are fine, Chanler is the same crazy boy as ever, and not much interesting is going on here (no more big projects in the budget in the near future). So I will hopefully get to all those emails one day and actually write personal responses, but for now if you are waiting from an email from me – it may be a while (like when Chanler is 18)
