It was really easy to log on for a few minutes while the munchkin was occupying herself with something. I recently moved it downstairs and it has definitely helped control the time that I spend online while at home - out of sight out of mind. The internet is a comforting method of escapism and quasi-connecting with people, but I agreeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-44533598324557166292009-04-28T00:02:00.000-05:002009-04-28T00:02:00.000-05:00we learned this a couple times on our little trip ...we learned this a couple times on our little trip this past weekend the hard way....."wanna go zoo" repeat 50,000 times!!!Mojavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560029907723621747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-25050754376603018262009-04-24T10:33:00.000-05:002009-04-24T10:33:00.000-05:00Re: 3 year old space, time continuum - we explain ...Re: 3 year old space, time continuum - we explain days by how many times you must sleep before the big event occurs (i.e "After you sleep three times, then we will go on the airplane!"). This has worked really well for Duncan. We also used a calendar as a sticker chart for potty training and found that it had the added benefit of helping him understand when big events would happen.loribhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13201078997297459344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-72756003159376862292009-04-23T21:40:00.000-05:002009-04-23T21:40:00.000-05:00I was pretty addicted to the internet for a while ...I was pretty addicted to the internet for a while but not so much any more. I'm just too busy. I post around once a month now, I hardly ever Twitter or Plurk at all and I occasionally check Facebook. I am still hooked on Good Reads but I consider that more of my reading obsession than internet obsession. My Google Reader has over 100 blogs but I probably only read 20 of them and mark the restBethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695662344180959776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-18661863996297077082009-04-23T17:44:00.000-05:002009-04-23T17:44:00.000-05:00But you know what, besides work and family there i...But you know what, besides work and family there is nothing else that I do.

Now I am much better about it because I work full time and only get a few hours a day with my family. Winter I'm online more than summer. This weekend will be gorgeous, so I expect to be on very little. The iPhone helps? I think?

I also had to stop taking my iPhone to my bed, I just felt like I was missing out on the life in front of my eyes.
