Turning it off!

So today at church we had a wonderful speaker who talked about Facebook! Yes, facebook while at church. The talk was more over turning off the television and logging off facebook. Are we not doing service work because we don't have the time because we are using our time online and in front of the television. So all day today I been thinking about how I spend my time and what I could be doing instead of facebooking all day!


So here is my goal starting Tomorrow Monday the 17th. That when Beka is awake I will not be online or turn the television on. That includes turning the tv on to get her out of my hair. I plan to use my days to clean my house, do more crafts and learning activities with Beka, crafts, baking, and cooking. Sounds good these are all things that I should have been doing all alone but instead I sit on the couch and stay on facebook. So I think that is a good goal. I will be online after she goes to bed I feel like that should be my time and time for me. So I will just start with when Beka is awake which is normal 9am to about 9pm. So wish me luck and I hope this works out and I find myself enjoying doing more.

PS Tomorrow I am going shopping in Savannah with a friend so I will succeed tomorrow! YAY! But on that note I am beginning to plan and get things together for the HOMECOMING!!!

Kudos to you, and good luck! You are being such a great Mom.
I have actually just set a goal with the internet and tv. I hope I can keep it. It doesn't start till Isaac gets home and we move back.
I'll see you soon!

I had to do the same thing and set up the same goals. No TV at all during the school week for the kids. And no TV or computer for me while they are awake. But the evenings are ok I think, I agree with "me" time. Especially if I have been working all day, my productivity level went up anyway. And I totally deleted Facebook.
