Country Living In My Backyard

Yes, I have a monster in my home.  It steals my time and my mind.  It leaves a terrible mess everywhere.  I sometimes makes dinner late and takes me from the things I love.  It tricks me. 

Yes, this monster is MY COMPUTER!!  I've been trying to let it go more and more.  I find myself on here even though nothing on here interests me!  It is a definite time waster for me and I've got to quit.  I'm hoping to still blog but it will hopefully be just every once in a while. 

I really need to get my priorities back in check.  I know what they are what they should be and yet I still find myself wandering the "net" aimlessly and I need to stop.  My kids need me and my husband needs me and my home needs me. I'm really going to try to cut back on my time on here.

I want to spend more time working with the kids on their school work and playing games.  I want to get my house back in order and keep it that way.  I want to spend time reading and exercising, cooking and being outside. 

Don't get me wrong.  The computer has a lot of advantages but I need to learn to keep it all in balance.  So that is my goal for now.

Is it just me or do any of you have any of these same issues??  Let me know.

Yep, I need to do all those things too, and fit in working almost 10 hours a day.
I just can`t neglect my friends on Homestead blogger, I love them all, but yes, it can be a monster.

Posted by beverly
I think you've been reading my mind! I too, find that I am spending far too much time on the net, but I am learning to use some wisdom with this, I hope. From now on, my time is limited to only what I can comfortablly give without taking away from chores and my family, so I won't be posting unless I have something I really need to say. I think I am going to try a little monster mastery, instead of allowing myself to be the conquered! But, I love to offer my little thoughts, and sharing with my on-line friends. So, I am going to have to find a balance. I am always encouraged here, and it helps me to remember, and count my blessings. In that way, this monster does offer good things!
Blessings to you!

I can really relate to this, especially since I started blogging. Just recently, I cut myself back a little from the computer. I haven't been blogging and commenting as much. I still continue to read others' blogs though, because I get so much enjoyment and encouragement from them-yours included. Blessings, Kim

Yes, I'm experiencing this same thing. If you figure out a good way to balance being able to keep up with bloggers here and still get everything else you want/ need to do done, let me know the secret! Peace- Shari
