The funny thing about having an on line blog is that you don't always write about everything going on in your life. But, because it IS on line and people read it, those who do read it form a certain opinion about what is going on in your life. No Mary Anne, I'm not referring to you when I say this. And, I'm not referring to others who have on line blogs because I think that they understand that what they write about is probably equivalent to maybe 5% of their entire life.
I'm referring to those who likely don't keep a blog but lurk. Don't get me wrong, I do like these people - they're perfectly lovely people - but there are times when I get comments or e-mail from them that say that "[I] only write about work and not about the boys; don't [I] care about my family?" And, I always respond - because I think it's rude not to respond to people who comment or e-mail you - that I don't write about EVERYTHING that is going on in my life. My boys' lives are not for public consumption. If they grow up and decide that they would like to keep a blog then it will be up to them to decide what to share and what not to share.
I'll write about how something is annoying me or how work is getting to me, but it's never really for very long. I seem to have this gift of self-preservation and when things get too much for me at work - or anywhere else - I take action. I'm not good at wallowing and often get so sick of myself that I have to do something about the predicament that I'm in. So, yeah - thanks for the concerned e-mails. I really AM okay.
