Ok my third and last post for the night... lent. Another reason why March is so hard! I've never really given up much for lent (and haven't this year)... but my dear husband has been on a spiritual growth spurt (see post #1) and is giving up all kinds of things - alcohol, sleep, only to name a few... So he asked me to join him on internet-free Sundays until Easter (what??!?!?!). Sigh... I mean, only one day out of the whole week, I know is NOT a big deal at all... (would it even make a difference?)... but I was shocked to find how hard it actually was to do this, and how addicted I am to the internet. Sigh. We decided to just use that extra time we'd normally be on-line to spend with the kids as a family -- and to my very pleasant surprise, it was by far, one of the nicest days of the entire week!! It made me realize how much time I waste checking my email and facebook and other sites... and how much more I could be doing if I just got unplugged!
I actually managed to sew a little crayon bag on Sunday because I wasn't wasting time on-line. Haha!
And the girls had fun with it.
Must do this more often -- less time on-line, more time with the kids, more time making stuff.
And with that, I'll bid you all a goodnight!
See you... in April??? LOL
