In the last few months, a number of life- (or at least routine-) changing things have taken place in Jenny’s world.
Sophie started preschool.
Jenny’s started focusing on doing one thing at a time.
Jonah was born.
And that’s just part of the list.
So those things on their own seem pretty innocuous, right? Positive changes, even.
But I am here to tell you that the combination of these tweaks in Jenny’s daily life have had a DISASTROUS effect.
On me.
Before Jenny started all this “good mom” business, I could get in touch with her just about any time I wanted to. She was always a tweet/IM/email/text away. And she RESPONDED to me instantly. INSTANTLY, I tell you.
Now? Not so much.
I’ve been noticing this for a while… the breakdown in the unwritten constant-contact clause in our contract. It’s been gradual, happening so slowly in a time that we’re both so busy that we’ve not had time to think much about it.
But today was different.
Today, I didn’t communicate with Jenny once.
No emails, no tweets, no IMs, no DMs, no PMs, no texts, no phone calls, no facebook status updates, no smoke signals.
Nothing.
I am NOT amused. And really, I don’t think the universe appreciates being so out of balance. So Jenny, I’m sure no one would mind if you dropped this real life crap and got back to having your laptop as an extension of your arms.
Seriously, Cousin, it’s time to prioritize.
I was just telling Mrs. Duggar the other day that Jenny was very incommunicado these days…she had no sympathy. What’s a socialnetworkworld supposed to do?
UP
Way to go Jenny, I need to disconnect a bit as well, as this example shows:
Last night I got a text, facebook note and phone call from the same person in the span of 2hrs. As I didn’t respond (because I was in bed by 8:30 do to el migraine) when I called him back this AM he said, “oh I thought you might be dead.” Perhaps I spend to much time on the internetz as well.
Jenny’s priorities are seriously out of whack!! I mean, she had real people come over to her house even. And she even tried to pick up a bit for them. I think something is going on!!
Who is this Jenny person you speak of? I don’t think I have had any contact with her since I visited Jonah on his birthday!
I TOTALLY agree – I miss the old Jenny! AND she definitely needs to prioritize because we are so much more important then her kids or her being a good mom – sheesh! I am so glad you finally told it like it is! 😉
