Well, this just feels foolish. Had such high hopes with the blog at the other site, but I'm having awful issues with that blog loading up (very slow Internet speed at our house) and so, here I am again. ::shrugs:: Much ado about nothing. Rather than beat myself up about it, though, will move along, and stay put.
The thing is, we have Internet through our cell phone account since we cancelled Comc*ast, and for the money we're paying with our re-worked budget, our fast speed service runs through very quickly with 3-4 users. Then it's gone. Afterwards we're stuck with a slower speed, that is, until the T-Mob*ile resets each month. Can't load movies or videos unless you're very patient. And I mean, VERY patient. With the Weebly site, I'm waiting for about fifteen minutes or more for pages to load so I can post. On Blogger, it's much quicker. Like a couple of minutes. I don't have time to wait for Weebly to load. It's just ridiculous.
Sorry for making you run over there, just to run over here again. Sort of embarrassing, which is where my life is at present. Or not embarrassing, as much as maddening. Yeah, maddening. Sons. Not even talking about those two of the three who've moved out. The two at home are my present frustration.

I think one thing is valid. My boys, for the most part, are seeing women out in the world who are professionals, or striving for that goal. I stay at home, though I'm well-educated. They see the opposite of what I'm striving to achieve here, which puts creating a life at home on the back burner for many women, or not even making it to the stove. I took one son to the orthopaedic doctor last week, and I made an idle comment about how it's often hard for me to be out and about, preferring to be at the house. The noise and busyness of folks distracts me. Everyone's so serious. He said something about how I couldn't manage outside the home, and couldn't relate to the business world. I meant I can live without the drama and rushing around. He thinks I don't have a clue. Oh brother. I've not been living under a rock all this time. Give me some credit. Please.
Thankfully one son is very supportive of our lifestyle here, and seeking a girlfriend/wife who has the goals my husband I have been working so hard on. Our girls are the same. Sometimes feel like I was handed the wrong script.
Is it because the younger generation has misplaced their values and goals? Is achievement the main objective here? Money and stuff? There's a disconnect I'm sensing and it's not an advantage. From my seat here, I see the trend of pulling away from their roots as being a very definite negative. Thoughts?
