[Insert Sound of Crickets Chirping]

October 5th, 2007 by Toni

This 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!
