Yes, I Can Quit Whenever I Want

Hey! It's Monday again. How did that happen?

We had a wonderful weekend. Saturday, I had a spa appointment to use the gift card I got for Christmas. That was delightful! Between the massage, the seaweed scrub and the facial, I felt every bit the pampered lady.

Afterward, I went clothes shopping for the first time in months, mainly because I have too many clothes for the larger me and not enough for the skinny me. Anyway, I remedied that in short order, and my solemn vow is to never allow the larger clothes in my closet to see the light of day again outside a donation box.

The kids went off with Grammy and PapPap in the afternoon to see a movie, and we all met for dinner at our favorite pizza place. Then I came hopme and went to sleep at 9:00 PM and slept all the way through to 9:00 AM. The whole online gaming frenzy finally caught up with me, and my body just said ENOUGH.

So make a note of this: I went the WHOLE DAY without signing on to Wizard 101. THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAY.

However.

Then there was Sunday.

The boys took the ATVs out to Durhamtown for the day. And honestly, I tried REALLY REALLY hard to stay off the computer. I managed to tidy up a little, and then I tried to read a book. I built a wonderful fire to occupy my time in the tending thereof, and yet...

I brought my laptop downstairs so I could be near the fire with it if I decided to maybe, just maybe check my email.

Yeah, I'll just check my email and then turn it off.

Okay. Now what.

Oh, I will check Facebook to see what my friends are doing.

Okay. Now what.

Maybe I'll just open up Facebook in a little side window and then maybe I'll just sign on to Wizard 101 just to see who is on.

SIX HOURS LATER,

I went to bed.

Yes, I have it bad, but it's still the best diet plan I've ever been on. LOL <---(a sure sign I've been texting way too much.)

Anyway, this morning, I leapt out of bed and began cleaning like a fiend, determined to get the house in order, the clothes washed and the kids taught before I do much of anything online. Email and blog notwithstanding, of course.

Now, I'm headed back to my to do list. There will be no guilt on my head tonight when I sign on to Wizard 101 just to see who is on.
