If I could only get that little envelope in the bottom tray to go away. Know how to do that!!?<br /><br />I finally set a limit for myself, no computer while my son is awake after we get home in the afternoon. I was missing time with him! He's only up for a couple of hours after we get home, so how hard is that to keep away from the 'puter!? I am happy to say that I am holding well to this rule!! Oh, this is so appropriate!!

I bought it last week on eBay for $4 w/shipping:) I hope it will be here soon. I find that since my girls are both in school all day I spend WAY too much time on my laptop surfing the web, reading blogs, etc. I can't wait to read this book.

For two years I posted faithfully 5 or 6 days a week. Lately my time seems a bit more out of control and I actually feel guilty because my posting frequency has been erratic-however when I'm not posting it is usually been because I'm actually doing things with the fam!

I only have 53. Reading feeds and blogging is my default position because it's comfortable and enjoyable. I have to set time limits just like I do with the kids.
