How I Spent My Bloggy Vacation

I should probably stay away from the computer ALL the time when I look at how much I got done while I was away from blogging this past week. I think I'm going to set my kitchen timer next to the computer from now on and when it goes off the computer is off and that's that.

I did plenty of baking, cooking and cleaning.


Sat on the swing with Mike in the evenings while we watched the kids play.


Bought dog food. Oh and groceries too! :)


Got sick. I'm feeling better now.


Spent time in the Word (which I always need more of)...


and just genuinely enjoyed myself. I'm feeling refreshed and ready to get back to blogging, but only for a reasonable amount of time each day of course.

*ding* Gotta run! :)

Congratulations on all that you got done!!!! Family time is so precious! Blogging (computer in general) can suck up time faster than any other "hobbie" in my life. I haven't been blogging as much lately and can tell a difference around here... and in my heart! Just like every good thing.. too much is not good. The enemy comes to kill, steel and destroy... he usually tries to do this through the 'backdoor'.... being sneaky about it so we don't catch on to what he is doing! I know that I have fallen to temptation more than once and spent way too much time on the computer........

It looks like you have been having a wonderful time (except for being sick, glad you are feeling better!)
I need to seriously limit my time on the computer as well. The timer idea is great!

Glad you're refreshed and back to blogging. I so understand. I took my week off and am back but I'm putting in more pictures, I'm taking Saturdays off too now, and I'm not reading or commenting on as many blogs. I just can't find the time!

Yay! You're back! I'm glad you enjoyed your break, though. It's always nice to take a little breather now and then.

With the exception of your getting sick, you describe the break I was hoping you'd be able to have.
Thanks for the good example you prove to be - whether online or not.

I know exactly what you mean, it is so addictive.sorry to hear you were unwell,we have got a lot of bad throats and coughs around here and some of it could be hayfever as we are having great weather here in the uk at the moment. Keep up the blogging but not at the cost of family life!!
