  ok i have been fading fast, missed a lot of meetings over the past couple of months and the kids think its mostly do to my being busy with work.

  this morning was probably the first sunday that i was home and could go but did not.

  so my 8 year old asked me if i was going and why when i said no.

  Answer the question with a question, " don't you ever just want to stay home?"

  Make up an excuse, you have to fix something around the house, you are ex pecting a phone call, you need to take a nap, etc.

  i was reading one of the magazines about 2 years ago, about what to know about social networking sites, the warnings and cautiousness.

  i am not so sure if they don't like the internet, these days almost everyone uses internet.

  i know many have accounts online.

  I think you should not be entering into marriage keeping secrets from your future husband. If you are having doubts, you should be addressing this. Honesty is important. You need to tell him. Better you disclose this before you marry than after.

  Your half brother has a right to know he has family. It should be his choice if he wants to get to know you better. Don't be influenced by your hard hearted elder brother.
