Remember when you were a kid and you spent a day or two home sick? Remember what it was like to go back to school and everything was ‘normal’ but it felt ‘different’?
That’s how I’m feeling today.
While things were busy happening here at home, other things were happening in the blog-world. I missed it. Not all of it, mind you, but a bit. I didn’t have time to read every post every day. The majority of my ‘regulars’ were read. A few were commented on. But more than a few, I read and immediately forgot. This isn’t because what was written was forgettable. I would say that it is because there were other more immediately pressing things intruding on my thoughts.
I missed whatever went on among my friends that caused a rift. Was it serious? Was it irreparable? I don’t know. I hope it is all better. Someone’s computer was sick and it left them offline for a while. Did I notice? No. Someone wrote posts trying to relay her feelings without actually “saying” what it was (for reasons all her own.) But did I “hear” what she was saying? No. Someone went to a convention and reported all the goings-on that he saw. But I missed that too!
(At this point, I will say that I’m not linking these friends because I seriously don’t think I can remember who wrote what! And besides, we’re such a tightly entwined cyberfamily, that I think we all know who is who.)
ANYhoo…..
I kind of feel like I have returned to school only to hear that so-and-so broke up with her boyfriend, or Mrs. Teacher had a meltdown, or what’s-his-name got suspended. I hear it, after the fact, too late to weigh in, too late to be part of the surprised, too late to comfort, too late to be “in the loop”.
And now it is time for summer vacation. What will I miss in the week ahead? I hope that all that I miss is good news. I hope that when I get back, I can catch up on things more easily than this time!

on July 25, 2008 at 1:08 AMDear SuperMom, don’t forget these other bloggers have their own commitments as well and they may not always have time to properly read their friends posts also. We all have these “out of school and back” moments. Please don’t feel bad or guilty, it’s just life.
Better that than not missing a single blog event but having to catch up with life for being absent from it too much
