internet

I have internet and cable again!!!!!

I was going to try to go without both while I was here.

 I read all these great articles about people not using internet often or turning on the tv for only 1 or 2 hours a week.

LETS GET REAL... (that's going to be my new saying I think)

I like to fall asleep to the tv and since I didn't think to bring any DVD's I was watching the same NCIS episode over and over.

I use google often for school.

And if we are really getting real, I do use the TV as a babysitter as I cook or take a shower or just try to think for a minute or two.

I really like netflix! Being able to Skype people is important to me.

Is my tv always on? NO

But to I enjoy having it? YES

What are my TV limits? I try to limit it to one hour a day okay that was a lie some days it is 2 hours for the kids and for myself some days I never turn the TV choosing to read and on other days I do not limit it once the kids are asleep I almost never watch TV while the kids are awake.

What are my Internet limits? My kids are never on the computer ( why? I really don't know besides it is a HUGE hassle no deep reason)  for myself. I read blogs every morning while drinking coffee, I pintrest usually once a day for 10 to 20 minutes. I have been off of Facebook for I guess 4 months but I am thinking a once a week rule would keep me in touch with friends with out being caught up in the drama (and a big revamp of my "friends" will help to)

What I do not want the Internet to do is take the place of personal relationships. I do not want to blow off the lady at church who wants to have coffee because I have plenty of friends online. Get it?

Really trying to use the time God has given me to analyze my life to really analyze why I do things and the effects that it has on my life. What I learned here?  internet/cable not bad just use with caution!!!!
