Out of contact

So, does anyone else feel like they are completely out of the loop?
I had the chance to visit with my good friend Sierra last night. (She just got back from her mission in Sweden) While talking to her, I realized... I am really out of the loop when it comes to people I know and their lives.
I'm not good at keeping up with old friends.
I don't know how to work almost anything on my face book page.
And I am awful at calling people "just to chat".
So basically... If you aren't married with 2 kids and have a blog... I just don't know what's going on with your life.
Sorry I'm lame, but I guess that's what happens after you become a mom, right?
I hope I'm not the only one.

Sanity but no Salery

OK, so a little over 3 months ago, I decided to stop doing childcare. It just wasn't worth the stress for the little bit of money I was making. And now that I have two boys to take care of, I'm very grateful to not have other kids to care for too (it would just be to much). But with that decision, I gave up the extra couple hundred dollars a month that I was making. At the time, I was more than willing to give that up, but now... our savings is not quite what it used to be. I have visited the Employment Resource Center at the church, but they haven't been able to find anything that I can do at home that isn't childcare.
They did give me a website http://ratracerebellion.com/ that is dedicated to "work from home" jobs. The site is great, but I am not qualified for most of the jobs. I did however try doing Paid Surveys, but they just didn't work out for me. So, here I am loving my life without a "job", but wishing I could find a way to contribute to our family bank account. Does anyone have any advice? Job ideas? Let me know, because I could really use the help.
