I think I am officially addicted to the internet. This is a problem as, to coin a phrase from Strong Bad, "The internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens." I can really spend a lot of time on the internet-- checking e-mail, reading blogs, shopping for things I don't need... Some days I would say I log on to the internet up to 10 times. Most days I do about 5.
It's not a good addiction. It doesn't make me feel good to get on the internet, I often feel worse for having logged on. In fact, it's very possible that my self-esteem is somehow linked to whether or not I have email. I am trying to break myself of this habit. I need to limit myself to once a day. But this becomes a problem, since I rationalize that since it's been multiple hours since I logged on, that I must have more e-mail. Not so, my friends. And thus my self-esteem plummets.
Anyway. If anyone has any ideas on how I can save myself from this plague, let me know.

This my friend is what we all suffer from. That is why we blog. And you can call me anytime even though I don't live there. You always know where I'll be.
Sometimes I spend too much time on the computer, too. I've found that if I actually turn if OFF, I am less likely to sit in front of it or check my mail as I walk past. Waiting for it to boot up kind of spoils the spontaneous fun. My children are happier, too, when I play with them more (so I can avoid my houshold mommy chores, of course)!
I jus came across your blog, by the way. Good job!
The problem is that I have a laptop that boots up quickly from hibernate. And I actually have to wait for dial-up. My children are happier when I play with them too.
Just have your husband take the computer to work with him.
Funny, dear.
