Late night, early morning
Madison didn’t go to bed until midnight last night because Brett didn’t wake her up from her nap. You’ve got choices in this world — get a break in the afternoon or in the evening — and Brett never has the willpower to wait for his break in the evening. Now I’m up getting ready for a meeting and I’m extremely tired. Usually Madison starts in her bed then clambers into our bed sometime after midnight but last night she started out in our bed, which makes it a little harder for me to fall asleep.
Internet thoughts this morning:
1. I’m watching an online support group dwindle down to nothing. Well, not totally nothing but posts that take away instead of adding to the rightness of the world. No outright flames but just a nasty little undertone that makes me tired, sad and annoyed. Such is the online life and I’m only sorry that I’m too nostalgic to click away from that group altogether.
2. I hate it when people flame trainwrecks on my daily to-read list because it ruins it for the lurkers among us. The people either close up shop or go password protected. (No this isn’t anyone who reads here or that any of you know. This is a complete stranger I found related to Brett’s cousin’s people and now they have gone away after nasty comments.) Now I have one less blog to fascinate me while I’m waiting for the coffee to kick in.
Now I’m curious. After that post on Brett’s Cousin’s People, I followed the links and got to the blogs for the M’s and the S’s and have been lurking with interest. Not because I believe what they do but I can’t quite turn away. Their system seems simpler, less and more and just interesting all the way around.
I wonder did I miss other blogs to read? Do share if you feel like it. My e-mail is in your system.
Thanks.

Tina said exactly what I was going to say. I’ve been lurking on the M and S blogs ever since you talked about them. (When you said a blog was going password protected I immediately clicked over to the M blog to see if something had developed after the recent post on how the kids learn about the birds and the bees only days before the wedding - yikes!)
So, I’m with Tina. What am I missing?
Ditto to above comments. It’s become my version of a soap opera- I check in to see what is happening on my “story” a couple of times a week. So what flame war?
The other thing that I am wondering about is that the blogs seem to be mostly used by the young women of the house, but after they become wifes, never a post from them again. Sigh. I wonder if they are swamped or this is some sort of “rule.”
Oh it wasn’t any of them, folks. It’s that whole click to, click to, click to and suddenly you’re 100 miles away but somehow it’s related. Or seemed to be at the time.
Another couple of fun places to visit are the Vision Forum (and how feminists support BRATZ and hate baby dolls) and Ladies Against Feminism.
Brett’s cousin has the defunct blog http://www.ponderthepath.blogspot.com but she’s quit updating since her seventh baby joined the family. She had him this spring so she’ll be pregnant again early next year, I’m sure.
