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!

  1. 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.

  3. 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?
