you know you're ADDICTED when....

It's 1:00 am and you're blogging instead of getting much needed beauty sleep.

Does anyone know of any medication to help blog ADDICTS? Maybe there is some kind of therapy [AA] recovery group.. where several women (and a few select men) could all sit around in a circle discussing their lame addiction to blogging. I went through major withdrawal symptoms this past weekend and I barely survived. I seriously need to sign up for therapy.

"Hi. My name is Janet. I have abnormally dependent cravings that revolve around blogging. I habitually sit at the computer for long hours when I should be doing something else.....anything else."



We had a long, crazy weekend. The van is unpacked but the suitcases are not. The dirty dishes that we left in the sink are finally running in the dishwasher. The kids were bathed and put to bed hours ago and here I am... exhausted, yet still awake. I have a million different emotions running around in my tired body, but I am not sure where to begin.

Let me start off by saying that we were bitterly disappointed to come home and find our couches STILL HERE. We were really hoping someone would come and take them off our hands and (maybe even do our dishes while we were gone) but whatever. At least I won't have to make dinner for tomorrow night- the lasagna doesn't have mold on it, yet.

I have spent the last hour reading your thoughtful and nice comments and I am literally speechless (when does THAT ever happen, huh?) Please know that I wasn't trying to be mean with my comment lectures, but I seriously get weirded out knowing that there are people in the vast internet world who know personal information about my life. These people come back and read regularly but never say hello.. It makes me want to shut down my blog completely because if they're too afraid to introduce themselves, then they've GOTTA BE crazy-psycho-murderers who want to kill me and kidnap my children. And this is EXACTLY why I am awake until the wee hours of the morning.

I enjoy blogging so much and have a strong testimony that it is the ONLY true way to live on the face of this earth. I find it fascinating that I can spend an hour [or so] on the computer and get SO much fulfillment out of it... I am documenting my life (and the lives of my kids) while keeping in touch with friends and family. I absolutely love it and don't want to stop (or go private) anytime soon.

Anyway, my feet are cold and the words on the screen are starting to get fuzzy. I must sleep. Thanks again for all the love. The comments warmed my heart. and congrats to those who came out of the closet. I hope we will be seeing more of you soon.
