Kicking the Camel Out of My Tent

You probably wouldn’t guess it, but life with 7 children is a tad bit busy.  Between daily living(cooking, cleaning, laundry, more cooking, more cleaning, more laundry), homeschooling the children, Mason’s medical appointments each week, and a husband who has been working a stinky schedule that has him home and awake all of 30-60 minutes each evening before he heads to bed at 7pm to start it all over again at 1am, something needs to give for me. 
It’s not really that hard to decide what needs to go.  The internet has a way of taking more time than I plan to give it.  Reminds me of the story where you let a camel’s nose in the tent during a sandstorm and before long he’s shoved all the way in and you’re the one out in the sandstorm. 
So here’s my plan:

• I’ll be checking my email once in the middle of the night when I’m up feeding Mason.  I do it from my Ipod while still in bed, so it’s super quick and easy. 
• The only other time I’ll get online for a while is to post Mason updates on his blog after doctor’s appointments. 
• Oh, and there are a few random posts scheduled to pop up here.

I’m turning off my computer tonight after I print out things for the next 2 weeks of homeschool.  And I just may toss a blanket over the whole computer desk so it’s not staring at me!
There are only 24 hours in a day.  If you figure out a way to get more hours in the day send me an email – I could use some more time.
