The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Ah, the many aspects to loosing internet access!

Blogging has been been few and far between for me this year.

But loosing our internet all together has revealed some heart attitudes!

THE GOOD side has been, weaning myself from a growing addiction, spending more time doing the things I should be doing.  ie. housework, schoolie type stuff and concentrating on my precious people in the household.  For other members of the family, enforced limitation of time using technology and spending more time in real life interaction.  For Hubby, earlier bed time ☺ He drew the short straw for last block of time on the computer at night. I have noticed that everyone has been more responsive to requests for help, less cranky when asked to assist with something and generally more willing to play/ work together.

THE BAD side being, we are all unimformed!  My boys almost missed a very special mates birthday without Facebook to remind them. I am out of touch with my Bloggy friends :-(  Don't give up on me girls.
Mum-me, if you are reading, I am very sorry we have not met up today.  I only have email for you and have had no way to contact you before my eye appointment.  (This is being posted as I fill in time here before boarding the plane home.  Maybe next visit.)

THE UGLY side, I suppose, is the bad attitudes we have unearthed.  Will we be less selfish and more inclined to prefer one another when our connection is restored and we remember this time with out? Perhaps.

Do not mistake the absence of post here as me disappearing from the Aussie Home School Bloggers or this Cyber world in general.  You would not believe how busy life has been at our place!! Today I am in Brisbane having my recent cataract operation checked.  I am pleased to say all has gone brilliantly well.  Unfortunately, I have a few other health issues to deal with which has manifested in some severe head aches.  My little family are thriving.  My expectant daughters are blooming. My own sons are growing, progressing, ( supervising teacher visiting them tomorrow) and near eating us out of house and home!  My grandsons are such a pleasure to enjoy as they grow and progress both in knowledge and stature as well as in vocabulary.

I wish I had some words of depth and wisdom to share, but alas, time and energy are in short supply. 

God is indeed our refuge and our strength.

Until I am reconnected and able to respond at your place, good bye. Signing off from Brisbane Airport!
