Time in a Bottle

I'm going to do something wild and crazy that I've been thinking about for a while now. I'm going to UNPLUG. Let me explain.....

I spend a lot of time online. I blog and read blogs, I twitter and facebook. I love interacting with other mom's on the internet and I frequently spend time researching recipes and crafts and I could spend a whole day on Etsy! My iPhone is never far from my reach and I feel lost when it is plugged in recharging. The other day...I went to Lowe's and realized I had left my phone at home...and I felt like I lost a body part!

This feels like a problem. An addiction that I need to get under control.

I sometimes think about all of the stuff I could be doing if I wasn't so attached to these things. I have so many books that I want to read and things I want to do and crafts I want to make.....

Summer is around the corner and there will be less time online because I have big plans for the kids and we will have a garden to water and there will be lots of walks and playing. My kids are so young and so much fun and I don't want to waste any time that I should be spending with them. Time is passing much to fast.....

And another wake up call? My daughter is always saying...Listen To Me! Perhaps I'm not doing enough listening and my attention is not where it should be....

It seems like the perfect time to start to wean myself from my desk chair....and my couch!

I read this post today and I'm taking the challenge. One day in May...completely unplugged!
On May 20th, I will unplug from everything....iPhone, Computer and TV. I will spend the day with my kids and we will enjoy the day free from distraction! We will photograph our day...and post about it on June 1st.

Who wants to join me?
