wasting time

Um, I was supposed to do the dishes and clean out my fridge tonight. Really. I was feeling good. Got the kids to bed and stupidly thought, I'll quickly check e-mail. Big mistake. AGAIN! Here I am an hour later and and am still online. Grrrrrr.

We canceled our cable last week so that the TV would no longer be a distraction. It was on a lot, and when it wasn't, Jonah would bring me the remote and beg for me to turn it on. It has been nice without it. I really don't miss it too much. Although we still can (and do) watch movies. And a lot of my time still get's taken up by this computer. Maybe I need to set an egg timer and only allow myself 15 min. hmmm.

I don't have any illusions about keeping a perfect house, but I sure could get a lot more done without TV or internet. I need to be re-inspired like I was last year when we went a week without it. (here is the follow up to how it went)

You are fabulous Katie! I really admire you. You are adventurous and strong. You have inspired me to want to try snowshoeing and maybe even a marathon. Don't forget how fabulous you are. :)

P.S. Don't totally give up internet so we can stay in touch. : )

We went without it for a long while...but we caved. It is nice without it... but the egg timer is a great idea.
