Stats

In church yesterday we learned some staggering statistics.

Most adults spend an average of 6.43 hours per DAY on technology {TV, internet, etc} yet only spend an average of 15 minutes per day with one on one time with their children.

YIKES!!

I will solemnly admit that my computer time has taken over my life as of late. I want to change this. My kids are growing at an alarming rate. When they are grown the very last thing I want them to say is 'Mama spent all day on the computer and hardly any time with us.'

I'm going to try to log in quickly in the morning, then wait till the end of the day when the girls are in bed to log in again. I'm making this a goal and praying that I will be able to be disciplined to follow it through. I know there may be times I will need to log on to check for an email or research something - but there is really no reason why I need to check facebook or the blogs I like during the day.

And with that said - I'm signing off! Need to spend some time with those ever growing kids! =)

WOW, thanks for this! I really needed to read this. I find myself checking FB when I get home from school (as it is a blocked site at work), when I should be spending time with my precious girls! I think I just might have to do what you are doing. I will be praying for you!
