Yah, i am going to have to just start getting out of the house. I stead of just talking on skype...which is really helpful to see her face.... That helps a lot for both of us ( her to see when we are switching and to tell who is talking to her, us to see her expressions and just be more personal etc) but hubby is always two feet from the computer! ....) we are going to have to deal with the extreme weather and get out there. Not exactly conducive to being outdoors at this time of year but we are going to have to just deal with it to have some privacy and go for a walk.

Thankfully just this week i have found a calling service call keku.com which i can use to give me low rates for calling other countries, and so its only about twelve cents a minute to call her. So she and i can talk for longer periods.

I just found out this morning ( been losing lots of time) that last night inour distress we emailed her about four times, sent about four texts, and possibley left her three or four voice mails. I hope she isnt mad. She usually isnt, she understands that they are all from different inside kids and that we arent aware of what each other is doing when we switch, but it does bother ME.
It seems to get worse when we are sick ( we have the flu, and a broken thumb which is giving a good deal of pain)& stayed home from school( work) today (i am a teacher). She knows that we do worse when we are sick.
At any rate, we are supposed to talk on sunday night if i can just hang in there til then.
