LauraGB Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I found that I rely more upon the information here than I realized! I had questions that needed answering, I needed to look up information, and I needed the occasional 10 minute break!! I did get a lot of things done today, though :).

MamaT Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I realized today how addicted I am to this board. I missed being able to "escape" from RL for a while. I am not thinking about a board break, though. I did get a lot done. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allearia Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I had to start looking around at other homeschooling forums and blogs, just needed that "fix" of hearing about other homeschoolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna in Texas Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just a tad annoyed. We are off this week (oldest at grandparent's house), so it was just a blip in my routine. I had plenty of stuff to do, but did nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeTea Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I panicked a wee bit. :001_smile: I'd had houseguests and so not much schooling or forum-checking for a full week. Today was our first day back to our usual routine, so did a little panicky double-take when I couldn't get on WTM after so looking forward to it. But then I calmed down and we got a lot done!

caitlinsmom Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The one time I actually had something to share and I couldn't get on. This was my last try for the night and there it was....back up again. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova147 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 DH and I are sick, so we've been taking turns caring for the kids - who ever is least sick right now, kwim?

Tidbits of Learning Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I managed to get a lot done. Laundry folded that had sat all week and just kept piling higher, dishes done, grocery shopped, didn't start school until 1 but was done by 4 with 3 kids...so I think I will be taking a break during the school week or at least during the day time when I should be doing all of the above.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn in OH Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My husband and I are not on speaking terms right now (ok, he keeps talking to me but I won't talk to him), so I immediately assumed that Mr. Computer Geek did something to the computer to spite me. Since I was also having trouble connecting to my email account it seemed like a reasonable assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I spent 45 minutes trying to figure out if it was just me and if I could find another way in. Then I actually taught the kids ;) then I again tried to log on, repeat, over and over. Posted to my facebook that was going through withdrawl. Checked the boards from my folks. Thought maybe their computer had a way in mine didn't. Jumped for joy when boards were back on and now I am here. I need these boards to function. EVen though I am working hard on not going online to them during the school day I need to know everyone is out there just in case I need a mental health break for a bit kwim.

I'm trying not to laugh, but that sounds just like something I would assume during one of my non-communicative spells! It just so happens that we ARE speaking today, so it didn't occur to me! I hope you two get back on track soon! Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolash Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I googled it, checked facebook, farkled, googled it again, and again, again. Finally it began to down on me - the board's down dopey. So, I went to cook dinner - after checking facebook again (hey, you never know when someone's gonna post something on your wall right?)

Jen in PA Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I was out of the house all day for co-op, playdates, and a library trip. I tried to get on when I got home, but got distracted before I noticed the problem. By the time I actually sat down, everything was back up. I would have been pretty antsy if I had been home all day!

Earth Angel_79 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thankfully I had a busy running day. However, it didn't stop me from trying to log in during in and outs throughout the day. I actually really needed on here today to get an address and name for a money order, so I was bummed that it was going to take an extra day. Tis all oky-doky though. I have had board addiction on another forum and haven't contributed there for a few months...so I know seperation is possible (but who'd want to!!).

Tutor Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I usually have set times during the day that I check online stuff (here plus email, Facebook, newspapers, Twitter, etc), and I noticed a glitch but thought it was my internet since I couldn't get Yahoo to load either. Saw SWB's Twitter update re the server being down and thought, "Well, that explains the boards. Wonder what's up with Yahoo." But that's about as much thought as i gave it. Now, 6 months ago, I would have been more panicky; however, I realized at that point I had internet issues, so I fasted for a bit and now have that part of my life under a bit better control... a teeny bit, but a bit.

Ravin Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I was kind of bummed. When after 5 HOURS of trying to get DD through her schoolwork (which if she'd stop goofing off would take less than 2), I assigned homework and took half an hour for myself before going to bed. This resulted in tears, bemoaning that "It's not fair!", etc., all because I told her she wasn't to turn on the TV until said homework (3 addition problems and a handwriting worksheet) and putting away dishes was done. I really wanted to come on here and vent. I read a few threads on MDC and checked email instead. Tomorrow I have to go to bed earlier...it's not going to be fun.

Tap Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I think I spent more time here, checking to see if it was back up :D I had told a freind I would look something up for her and was hoping to get back with her today, before she ordered.

Scarlett Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I voted 'other' ONLY because I got up at 6:30 a.m. and left the house by 8:00 and didnt get back until 6:30 p.m. I tried to log on at 6:30 while drinking my coffee and must admit to feeling mild panic, but since I was gone all day I wasn't as bothered by it as I normally would have been.

Lovedtodeath Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I got other internet/computer stuff done. Emails, ordered some medicine... tried to install a printer (didn't work :glare:).
