Confessions....

It is officially a new day, so I am going to go ahead and do my blog post. Today I am confessing that I am an internet junkie. BAD!!!!!!! I am seriously thinking of having it disconnected just b/c I spend WAY too much time on here.....Wasting time! I really did so much better when the office was first moved out of the house. I was excited about the freedom of not having to think about work, and not having my husband at home. I was very productive, it was great!
Well, I am getting back into old habits again. Things can get pretty crazy around here, and how do I deal with it??? I sit down at the computer. I might be in the middle of something, and I get overwhelmed, so I just sit down at the computer and tune everyone out. Twice this weekend the girls poured out half a bottle of apple juice trying to fix it themselves. I don't think they asked for help from me....I was in the kitchen on the computer....but if they had of asked me, I don't know that I would have heard them anyway b/c I was so tuned out! And what was I doing.....playing around with my myspace page. As if I need something else to distract me! It is exciting seeing old friends.....but I spent TOO MUCH time on that.
And tell me, is there really any reason why I need to check my e-mail every time I walk through the kitchen.....or everytime I even move?? And how many times a day, really, do I need to look at everyone's blog to see if they MAY have posted something new? Really 1 time a day IS enough! Sadly, even though I check my e-mail every 15 mins, it still may take me a few days to respond....just b/c I won't take the time to process my thoughts to post. OR....b/c my kids are SCREAMING for my attention in my ear and I can't think. If I just took even one hour at night after they went to bed on the computer.....I would be spending way less time on the computer, AND be more productive!
We have been doing school everday, but I can't say much for the rest of the house. And I know that it is never going to be clean, I have 3 kids that are home all day long. But, I know that it could be much much better, if I would GET OFF THE COMPUTER!

So, today, I AM NOT TURNING ON MY COMPUTER until 3:00 p.m, and then I will do it one time, and turn the computer back off until they go to bed. Now, that is such a challenge for me, and I am sure I am going to be having withdrawals, but really, I have GOT to change! I do not want my kids throwing up in my face when they get older that I was ALWAYS on the computer! So....at 3:00 I will see just how much I missed out on by not checking my e-mail and everyone's blog post a gagillion times! And, I will report to you what all I got done during the day too tomorrow evening after everyone has gone to bed!
