There is a term for my life as it is right now. I am what's known as a "Gamer Widow" or to be more specific, a "Warcraft Widow". Seriously, look it up. You can find it on Wikipedia or Urbandictionary.com. Apparently, I am not alone (at least metaphorically speaking) in my abandonment. It seems that there are millions of us around the world. Significant others who have been abandoned by our partners for the love of a computer game. I guess it should make me feel better to know that I am not alone, but it really doesn't. I am beginning to think that these games should be outlawed or at least restricted in some form. It is all he thinks about from the minute he gets up in the morning until the time he comes to bed at night (actually the wee hours of the morning would be more accurate since usually it is well after Midnight). At first, I blamed the computer. I wanted to throw it out the window. Even went so far as to flip the breaker on that side of the house one morning just to turn it off. (Okay, so that didn't go over so well. lol) Then I started to blame the game. If I could just shut the server down. Corrupt the software. Maybe break a headphone. (Well, one of the kids did that for me and that didn't work either.) Then I started blaming myself. Maybe I was just lousy to be around. Maybe I was not fun enough or attractive enough to hold my husband's interest anymore. It seems I have run the whole gamut of emotions...kind of like in the grieving process, I guess. I don't blame myself anymore however (which is a good thing). I have decided that we all have choices to make in life about what the most important things in our lives are. For me, my faith and my family come first. I have to trust that God put me where I am today for a reason. I certainly have been blessed with three of the most beautiful children around so who am I to complain? I just hope that one day all of these gamers out there who are neglecting their real life relationships for their online guilds, wake up and see what they are missing out on. Children will be grown, wives will have gotten used to being alone, and it will be too late. Until then, I think I will design some t-shirts "WoW Widows Anonymous: While they play, we seize the day"

A new blog friend of mine sent me some interview questions that I wanted to answer here. Thought they were pretty fun!

1. What would say is your best physical feature and why?
My best physical feature is probably my eyes. I love how they change with my moods and colors. They range from a deep green to a color that my dh refers to as "custard". I wasn't really thrilled with that mental picture at first but it really is a pretty good description.

2. Pie or Cake?
Yes please.

3. What would you name your new baby if you found out you were preggers today? Boy name and girl name?(since I don't know you, I don't know if this one gives you a heart attack.....if it does, I am sorry!)
I would go with "Trouble" because I would be in a whole lot of it! (DH got 'fixed' after baby number 3! lol)

4. If your fairy godmother appeared and offered you 3 wishes, what would they be and why?
I would wish for: Enough money to pay off all of our debts, a new car as mine is now at 260,000 miles!, and a maid that would come in and clean my house twice a week (Pretty self explanatory, lol)

5. What does the word "love" mean to you?
Whenever I hear that question, I always immediately think of the line from Love Story, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Unfortunately, I could never quite accept Jenny's cavalier attitude about things and I happen to believe that love means having to say you are sorry a lot. I mean a whole lot! Ask my 3 year old! (and my dh!) lol

Thanks for the questions Roxann! That was fun. All right guys, who is next? Let me know and I will send you your 5 interview questions and we will see what new things we can learn about you!
