Time Flies...

Well, my board fast is quickly coming to a close! I can't believe how fast it has flown by. I'm proud to say that I accomplished everything on my to-do list, plus more! As excited as I am to be able to reunite with my online friends, I'm also a bit nervous. I don't want to fall back into old habits again of neglecting housework and hubby. I think I'm going to try to stick by a couple rules:
  1. Housework must be done before even checking the boards. (In the case of laundry, where I have to wait in between loads, everything possible must be done, and laundry must be taken care of as soon as it's done, no putting it off until this or that post is made or read, etc.)
  2. Once hubby is home, evening board time will be limited to one hour collectively. (This may mean I am not as quick to respond to posts as I have been in the past, it may take me a full 24 hours to get back to a post to respond, but that will just have to do, my home and family need to come first.)

Hopefully with these guidelines, I'll be able to enjoy the boards without having them consume me as they have in the past. Wish me luck!

Hi, Stephanie! Yes, it takes a lot of self-discipline to blog when one has a home and family. You have a beautiful blog and I love the above picture of Our Lady and the angels from the painting by Bougereau, I believe.

Must go - work is waiting....

Yes, I've fallen into the trap of spending hours at the computer. But there's just SO much to learn! I love checking all the Catholic blogs, Catholic news, etc. But there are so many hours in the day.
