I miss all of you! I have been SO busy with Home Schooling my daughter and taking care of the house and my kids. I have barely been here. =( I miss it!
I am trying to figure out a way to get everything done and still have time to be on MyLot...
It is good to be here tonight, I wish I had more time but I just don't. Things have been really hectic. I am super tired from the day now but I wanted to at least be here for a few minutes tonight.
Do you sometimes feel like you don't have enough time in a day? Do you miss Mylot when your not here?
Hugs to all of my friends! ![](/Content/images/emotes/hugs.gif)

I have to admire you for doing the right thing and not neglecting your kids. I tend to spend way too much time at the computer and all my other stuff suffers. Thankfully, I' all grown up now and so are my kids so I'm my own boss. I have been missing you too.
I wish I could spend less time here. I'm slowly weaning myself away from the computer but I stay up till really late.![](/Content/images/emotes/sleep.gif)

Would you believe my connection dropped out last night for several hours. I usually have one eye on the TV and one eye on the laptop at night and I was literally unable to function. It was so weird. It's one thing if I choose not to be online but quite another to have the privilege taken away.

Thank you. =) My daughter's Home Schooling definitely comes first.
I used to spend a TON of time here too as you know I'm sure, Lol. But now that other things are going on I am not here as much. I am getting used to the new schedule and routine of Home Schooling so I have a little more time here now finally. I missed so much in the week or two that I was gone.
I have missed you too Ms. Tickle!
I feel like its been forever since I have really been here a lot...
Well I hope you still find some time for us at MyLot because we will miss you if your not here! ![](/Content/images/emotes/cry.gif)

I was shy also but there are tons of sports and activities for Home Schooled children now a days. There are plenty of things to do where my children will not always be with me...

There are many times lately I do not have the time to get in here like I want. I can understand the busy as it has been happening more for me as well. All we can do is come here when can and let others know that we are still OK.

Yeah I know. Things have been so crazy here with Home Schooling and everything. I still come to let everyone know I am alive and okay. =) I hate when people disappear and we don't know if they are okay or not!
I am getting more time lately since I am getting used to my daughters Home School schedule now...
I hope you start having more time here soon too...

Same here Loving, though I think I have a little more time than you do. But since the holidays started, (Yom Teruah or to some Rosh Hashanah), the festival, dog sitting this week and on the verge of finishing my revision and starting to look for an agent, I also have not been that much. I do miss it and feel like some of my friends are moving on and I am left behind, but there is nothing I can do and I make sure I am here at least 2-3 times a day instead of all day long..

Yeah with 3 kids, Home Schooling, the 2 dogs, babysitting and keeping the house clean, phew I have no time for anything I want to do! Lol. I am trying to be here at night before I go to bed for a little while. Now that things are getting more on a routine it's getting a tiny bit easier.
That is exactly how I feel too, like I am left behind sometimes... =( I will catch up again one of these days I suppose. ![](/Content/images/emotes/hugs.gif)

Hi LovingMyBabies,
Good to see you here for a few moments. I'm sure everyone here misses you too because you start great discussions.
Maybe the weekends will be better for you to do your visiting here on myLot. Don't sweat it though, everything will work out and from your comments I see you absolutely love the home schooling. That's super great!
I'm retired so I guess I have enough time now to mess around here, but I also buy and sell on Ebay so I'm over there quite a bit. Actually, it's the first thing I do in the mornings when I get up.
Take care hon and I'm sure you'll find your own time when all this levels out to a normal pattern. ![](/Content/images/emotes/hugs.gif)

Thank you! =) I will be trying to be here for a little while each night before bed. It won't be a long amount of time because I am exhausted by night time but I want to be here...
I do love Home Schooling my daughter and she is loving it too which I am so grateful for. She never wants to be done each day! Lol. At least I don't have to fight her over doing her work because she is loving it so much which makes me happy. =)
Between 3 kids, home schooling, babysitting, 2 dogs and keeping a house clean...Phew, it takes a lot out of me!
Thank you and hopefully I will find the time to be here once a day. ![](/Content/images/emotes/hugs.gif)

Good, I hope you're able to come here at least once during the day. That would be awesome but don't wear yourself out. We don't want you telling us how sick you are, lol! Just do your best, which I know you will. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I always think that when people go missing here, they've gone on to living their lives. I'm glad to know that you're just keeping busy with important things.
Like you, I also miss it when I'm away from here. This is my 'place to vent' so it's therapeutic in a way. And I'd keep coming back when I'm away.
Hope you're having fun with your kids too!![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

Yeah, some people do move on but I love it here and I miss it when I am gone. I don't think I will ever be gone for too long! Lol.
I have just been super busy with Home Schooling my daughter and everything else with being a mommy.
I use MyLot to vent as well, Lol. It does help so much, my online journal.

Today is one of those days for me, not so much because of time but because of energy. I took an extra shift at work that ran late. My regular shifts start really early so that was four hours of sleep last night is all. I cannot get caught up now that I am home. I am just sitting in the recliner drifting in and out of sleep.

I totally understand the energy level being down too. After Home Schooling my daughter, taking care of all 3 kids all day, taking care of my dogs, cleaning the house, making meals and babysitting I am exhausted!
Four hours of sleep is not a lot at all. That little sleep throws my day all off. I'm sorry.
I would be sleeping too if I was you! I hope you get some good rest soon hun. ![](/Content/images/emotes/hugs.gif)

I know how you feel. I home school my daughter, work two part time jobs, run a flea market booth that I need to go to at least once a week and I also do the cooking and cleaning at home. Time for mylot and all my other online stuff has become a real treat. I am trying better to get on here for a few minutes each day. I can sympathize with you on this. Can you possibly get up an hour early and try to mylot then. I try to do that at least once a week and it does work sometimes.

Wow, you are super busy too! Home Schooling my daughter, keeping the house clean, we have 2 other children, 2 dogs and I babysit. It is just so much going on in a day! I am trying to find enough time in a day to get everything done. I am hoping to be able to start getting on a better schedule so I can accomplish everything I want to get done... I have an easier time going to bed an hour later to be here, Lol. I am not a big morning person, not crabby or anything but if I wake up too early it makes my day just feel off.

I don't just sometimes feel like there is not enough time in the day, I always feel like there is not enough time in the day. The reason for that is that my children are both very active children, so we are constantly running for them. In addition to that, my husband also works long hours so we don't have enough time to spend together during the course of a day.
I believe that you are a saint for home schooling your daughter, I just can't imagine what it would be like to have that responsibility in addition to the typical household duties as well.

I used to have plenty of time during the day, just the normal things a mother does. So, this was a shock to have so many things going on and not enough time to do it all! I feel so overwhelmed lately... Lol. I know once things settle down a bit I will get comfortable with the new schedule and then I will be able to be here more often.
Thank you. I love Home Schooling her and she is loving it too so I think this is the best decision I have made for my children. =) It is a lot of work but well worth it for us! ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

There was a time when I missed not being on mylot. In fact, mylot was all i could think about even when i was in the shower. It was funny and weird. But when i took off from mylot a long time ago and was gone for almost a year, I haven't missed it at all.
I only visit here when I have the time and I don't miss it like i used to. I think i have outgrown missing mylot.

I always miss it here. I absolutely love it and I always have. Even when I was here last time and I let people push me off here I still missed it a lot!
Yeah, sometimes that happens I guess. I am glad you still come here when you can though. =)

Hi friend! Welcome back! I just can't let the day pass without visiting myLot so what I do, I am using my cellphone in order to participate here. I am also very with my work and the only time when I can spend more with myLot are Saturdays and Sundays during day offs. Hava a nice day!

Thanks! I am excited to be here for a little while. =) Yeah I use my cell phone sometimes but with Home Schooling, I have to pay attention to my daughter so it's hard doing both! Lol.

WellI I am glad you had a few minutes to take time to be here. I also have a hard time to be on here now that school has started. I do not even home school my kids so I can only imagine how exhausting you may be. The good thing is that there is always someone on here even late at night. that is when I am on here. i do miss mylot when I am not here though.
i hope it gets easier for you so you have tine for you.

Thank you. I am trying to stay on for a little while tonight until I cannot hold my eyes open anymore, Lol. Yes it is rewarding but also exhausting! I'm glad I can stay home and Home School her but man I am tired by the time the day is over.
It is good that people are here at all times of the day and night. =) I am probably only going to be here at night most of the time. That is just about the only time I can make it here...
Thanks, I hope it gets easier too! ![](/Content/images/emotes/hugs.gif)

I feel like that almost everyday, seems like you always have something to do and not enough time to do it in. Sometimes we need to put other things to the side including MyLot. I hope you enjoy homeschooling your daughter, I was homeschooled for a year and learnt so much.

I have never felt this way before as a stay at home mom so this is really overwhelming for me right now! Lol. I used to have so much time and now I have none! It is a big change for me, I am trying so hard to get used to everything and manage my time the best I can.
I love Home Schooling her and she is learning so much! She loves it as much as I do!! It makes it much more enjoyable that she likes it too. =)

Well I don't just Home School either. I also have 2 more children and 2 dogs. Plus keeping a house clean and babysitting as well. It is a lot going on right now. By the end of the day I am exhausted. If I didn't need to sleep yeah I would have time to be here. Unfortunately, I kind of need to sleep so I can be alert for the next day...I should be in bed now but I am so excited to be here I don't want to leave! Lol.
