As my warranty on my laptop was almost up, I decided last Monday was as good a time as any to send my malfunctioning HP Pavilion in, hoping it would come back with working speakers.
I figured I’d be without my computer during the day, but would be able to check the Facebook stats and write my blogs at night when Josh brought his laptop home.
Wrong.
That same week that I cut myself off from my online community (HI! HI! I’VE MISSED YOU!), my husband went MIA. More days than not, he came home after 9pm. Including Saturday. He even went in on Sunday, after church and a walk in the park, not to return until 2:30am.
I have learned that I *can* give all three children a bath all by myself. Just not at the same time.
And also that Levi has just about outgrown the kitchen sink. It’s cute to see the basin all filled up with baby chub.
No, I didn’t take pictures. I was too busy holding the baby head above the water.
My lappy came home to me today. It was good to be away, perhaps especially because of all the extra time I needed to spend with the children this week. But it is also good to be back. And now I must relearn the balance that is SAHM v. SAHFA (Stay At Home Facebook Addict).
And, at some point, I’ll need to tackle the Google Reader. I haven’t even looked yet. I don’t really want to.
I’ve got some posts swirling around in my head with the theme of “Just a Thought”. Lots of random thoughts that aren’t too researched (like the “What I Believe” series) but are still worthy of sharing. So look for that. K? K.
I know what you missed most was our ongoing AIM conversations that last all day long. 🙂 Today is the first day in over a week that I’ve gotten online while kids were awake. (Caylee is snacking right now, Lexi is still with her aunt). Feels weird. Although I must admit, I do not miss facebook one bit. I got on yesterday to check the email on that and then got right off. I couldn’t care less about it anymore! YAY!
but I still need to learn that control with AIM and SAHM. I am not willing to give up my AIM time.
I think that it’s pretty crazy how much life changes when your access to the online world is cut off. I think it’s good for us, every once in awhile, to take a break, but man, it’s always nice to come back!
