[Insert Sound of Crickets Chirping]
October 5th, 2007 by ToniThis is not a post. It is simply a little note to let you know I’m still alive. No one is sick. I am not too busy to write. I don’t have writer’s block. Bloggable things are happening every day.
After several days of considering putting limits on the kids’ screen time, I have come to the conclusion that in fact I spend more time in front of a screen than either of them and that actually most of their screen time is simply a response to my, “Uhm, just a minute. Mommy will play with you right after she finishes this paragraph.”
This silence… it’s an experiment of sorts. A reminder, if you will, that life exists even if there is no one blogging about it.
Oh, I’m glad to know. I was just going to email you to ask if things were OK. Sometimes you just need to “step away from the screen.” Enjoy your experiment.
I was beginning to wonder about you!
The weather is still nice here, so I take my laptop outside while Julia plays. Once the temperature drops and we’re stuck inside a little more, we’ll be running into the same problem - Mommy’s screen time = Julia’s screen time. I spend more time on the computer than I’d like her to spend in front of the television. Last year, I did most of my blogging after she was asleep. Now that I’m pregnant, I think I need more sleep than my toddler, so that option is out. Hopefully, I’m come up with something.
Good luck with your experiement!
