My Internet Problem

My Internet problem is that I can't seem to spend more than a day or two away from it. I wouldn't call it an addiction because I can quit at any time (really I can). But it felt like I was doing something wrong by not checking email several times a day or reading up on the latest buzz about Stephenie Meyer's newest book (yes, I admit to liking books that are written for teenage girls). It was nice to not be distracted from the task at hand (unpacking a 1900-square-foot house to fit into a 1000-square foot cottage), but once our Internet was hooked up this morning I jumped back into old habits. I must learn from this last week of Internet-less living. It can be done. Plenty of people don't have access at home. I saw many of them at the library when I went on Friday to check my email! It's just not as easy to do at the library when you've got two small children to keep an eye on while trying to read the super important emails you get as a housewife and mother of two small children....Hmmmmm.
