Internet Addiction

Hi my name is Renee and I am addicted to the internet.

Sometimes as a stay at home mom, its my only connection to the outside world. Its how I find out about world events. If I didn't go on the internet I wouldn't know if anything was going on.

Oh who am I kidding. I spend most of my time on the internet posting on this blog. I also read about 100 other blogs by really talented and funny people. And I am finding new ones every day. I've made connections through these blogs to some amazing people.

But its hard to fit all of this into the times when Bunny is napping or after Bubs comes home. I often find myself slipping into the computer room just to check my e-mail or just to read one blog. Well one turns into seven and then eleven.

When Bunny sees me heading towards the computer she screams "No blogs mommy" and grabs my hand. And that is when I know I have a problem. A 2 1/2 year old knows the word blog.

So this morning I didn't go to the computer. Instead I sat down and just hung out with Bunny. And you know what? The world didn't end. The computer didn't explode. I didn't have 100 e-mails to check (just 10). And best of all I had fun.

So now I need a 12 step program or wireless access. Either one will work.
