Electronic free...well, mostly

Yesterday, after I unloaded on my husband over the kids' constant complaining, he came up w/ a genius solution. It's not that each kid is so bad, but when 4 kids complain individually throughout the day, it can feel constant!

Since they cannot appreciate the computer games, Wii, Playstation, cellphones, mp3 players and tv that we have, they can live w/out them for awhile.

Wow! We had such a great afternoon yesterday. And since I did not have the tv on last night, I went to bed earlier.

We did watch our 24 dvd from netflix, but after that turned the tv off.

Lately, I have really been in the habit of turning the tv on or playing on the computer to pass the time because I haven't felt good. I am starting to really feel better and it is time to start breaking the habit. :)

So except for a google search for my coffeemaker manual, this post and maybe checking my email or netflix queue, no computer for me. :)

And if there is a show we want to watch, we will. But I hope we stick w/ not just turning the tv on and watching whatever we can find to pass the time.

I got a boost today!

Check out restministries.com if you have a chronic illness like I do.

I just received a wonderful reply to a question.

In short, the poster said that God is making me more like Christ everyday and my children too are learning from the experience of me going through these struggles.

That never occured to me. I have kinda been holding my breath waiting to feel better.

Lord, help me strive to live in victory as I await your healing. :)
