Do you ever feel like you can’t unplug from all of this digital media? I do! It almost feels like I’m mentally attached this thing. I wake up in the morning and first thing I have to do is check all the blogs I read daily, my email, and tweets. It’s not like this is my job and I have to make sure that things are going OK. I’m a stay-at-home mom, none of this is necessary for me to do my “job”. Granted, I have to check the email for my hubby’s website to see if there are order requests, but that’s it. That is all that I NEED to do.

I feel like this is some sort of crazy addiction. I have to be tuned in to what is going on, all the time. I try to give myself little breaks, and I put the computer away and make a conscious effort to not get on the computer, but then I think of something that I need to check. It always leads me to reading several other sites, and before I know it, an hour has gone by and I’m still on the net. Why is that? Is that addiction? I believe it is. Are there others out there like me? I’m sure that there are. I need my computer and my instant access!
