I'm a slave to my computer

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive March 2005: I'm a slave to my computer
By Boxzgrl on Monday, February 28, 2005 - 10:55 am:

And I just realized it last week. For as long as I can remember, I wake up and make DD breakfast, then let her watch Barney. While shes doing that, i'm online. When I need a break from cleaning the house, i'm online. It was a must to check my email before bed every single night, as if the same thing wouldnt be there the next day. Now, i've slowly pulled myself out of these bad habits but I never realized how involved a person can get into a "fake" internet life, lol! So now I limit myself to checking in the morning and while cooking dinner.... unless i'm really bored. And how bored can I possibly get with an almost 2 year old? :)

Trust me, you can get very bored w/ a 2 yo when all your conversations run around Barney :) I admit my computer is like my pet too, I pay as much attention to it as to the critters that run about my house.

Since I work at home, I too am a slave to the computer. Most of it's for work, but as you can see now, I'm here, obviously not work related.
I find there is so much info on the net that you can just click on and find out anything you need and I am an information junky, this definately fuels my addiction!

I too spend way too much time at the computer. Funny to be posting such a remark online :)

My husband used to phone me several times a day from his old job just to chat and see how one another's days were going. Now he has a new job and doesn't get the chance to phone, so we email back and forth at least 8 or 9 times/day instead. So I check my email constantly, and geez, as long as I am here I might as well check momsview:)

Well, I spend as much time as I can online, and I don't care! LOL

My name is Dawn and I'm addicted! LOL! I'm always on the computer, even when I probably should be cleaning my house!

By Boxzgrl on Monday, February 28, 2005 - 04:00 pm:

LOL Dawn, that's me today! I have both bathrooms to *completely* clean and a living room to vacuum. Here I sit on Momsview....... breaking my rules!

By My2cuties on Monday, February 28, 2005 - 06:35 pm:

aww, I am the same way, good to know we all have so much in common...LOL. But lately I have been planning around it, I get my house cleaned in the morning and then get online. If I am not here I miss it terribly. :(

On the plus side, though, we had a very wet day today, and after the sun went down, everything started to freeze. Dh didn't want me running around in a car, since the roads were really icy. We are in desparate need of bread for lunches, so I baked some bread tonight! It's baking now! (Yeah, I know it's late! LOL!) I'm kind of a night owl, since kids are in bed now and DH is at work.
