a couple of slow deaths

we instituted a computer free sunday yesterday and it just about killed me. I'm hardcore addicted. not only was there no emailing (!! I almost actually called someone. can you believe that?!) but there were no blogs or news or...anything. I thought of several reasons to hop on real quick (i should check the weather...how else will we know how hot it will be? oooh I need directions somewhere! what? ask someone? use a mapbook? what?!? oooh oooh I need to get some organic dirt to fill my garden boxes! wait till monday when the places are open anyway?! booorinng!) but I resisted. It was good. I think its going to be a weekly thing.

Can I tell you what else is killing me? The weather. Not because its so hot that I can't take it or anything (LOVING the basement right now!) but because the kids are insane. Seriously insane. Everything is a huge struggle. Everything is a battle. The tiniest little humdrum normal day things are these wrenching sweat inducing fights. I've been talking to some friends with kids and they're all experiencing the same. One told me its the barometric pressure change. We better adjust freaking soon or it is not going to be pretty.
