So I thought I was keeping this blog thing under control and from my family. I didn't think they knew how much time I was spending on the computer and of my so called "addiction". Who was I kidding. This morning while racing to get the kids ready and out the door my kids started to "spill the beans". This has become a daily ritual at our house and is where one of my children decides to tell the others deep dark secrets. You know the ones you don't want your Mom to know about! Today was Christian's turn. He must have done something to tick off Andrew and Sammie because they both wanted me to know something. Christian has a girlfriend. NO SHOCK TO ME! We're talking about Christian and who doesn't love Christian? A girl at school passed him a note and asked him to be her boyfriend. WHATEVER! I told him fine but he better not be holding her hand! Anyway after sharing this funny little story they all started to chant BLOG ABOUT IT...BLOG ABOUT IT...BLOG ABOUT IT! So what do I do...BLOG ABOUT IT!
I admit I am addicted and obviously have a problem, but is it really that bad? What's wrong with taking tons of pictures of my children and writing about all the cute things they say and do? It could be worse right?? Well I thought it would be funny to look up the 12 steps to recovery this morning and found a funny little article. I guess this really is a serious subject and maybe I shouldn't be making light of it. It was called the The 12 Step Program to Managing a Blogging Addiction. Let me share a little...
1. Admit you have an addiction. Common signs of addiction include: having more “Internet Buddies” than real life friends, communicating with your spouse via comments on your blog and others, keeping your blackberry handy at all times in case you have an idea for a post… (Well at least I don't have a blackberry! Does keeping your camera on you at all times count? Whatever!)
2. Decide you’re not a quitter and will manage your addiction by being a functioning blogger. Yes, this means you can’t forget to feed the cat or husband because your writing an article, you still have to clean the house. (What about laundry?)
So I won't bore you with the rest. Maybe this is because I am not ready for step 3. Happy Blogging!
