New Rules!


I am trying to become more self disciplined. Last night, I stayed on the computer too long and got to bed way too late! Then of course I had trouble getting up this moring! So, what do I do when my kids are on the computer too long? I set a timer. When the timer goes off, they get off...no arguments! Why is it that I make these rules for my kids and then I go and act like a child myself?

So I am mothering myself tonight and setting a timer. I have 15 more minutes. Jamie says that I am very amusing sometimes!

My DH wonders if I know how much time I spend on the computer. Do I really WANT to know is the question I am asking myself. I really love the connection to people too and that is why I'm here so often.

I'm starting to notice that mom is blogging whille I'm not around. I think it's because she doesen't like me reading over her sholder.

No. It's that magic hour that the children are in bed and I have no distractions. Otherwise known as peace and quiet.

I love you, my darling son. But...you and your sisters take a lot of my individual attention. You know...taking you to sports practice, feeding you, making sure homework is done. You'll understand when you are a parent some day.

Why am I communicating with you like this when you are just in the other room?

Priscilla - there is much wisdom in your decision.

And it is also amusing!!! ;-)


I don't blog on the weekend is my new limit - and it has made the family all a bit happier.
