No Media, No problem.... well maybe a little

I can’t believe we are getting so close to the end of  the 7 Experiment  .
There have been a few times that I really thought I could handle whatever the week had in store for me but then God kindly would remind me that I wasn't him & was so not prepared. This last week was media & wow do we watch a lot of tv. For the first day the facebook thing bothered me, but I've had a few times over the past couple years where I have stepped away from facebook & felt so much better. I can’t ever say that I’ll stay away forever though because it is by far one of the easiest ways to stay in contact with my family & friends considering the majority of these groups don’t even live in a the same state or even a surrounding state for that matter.

It was crazy to notice how much I think my kids are obsessed with tv though & in reality they didn't miss it too much. Mommy on the other hand……
I always like to stay awake until hubs gets home from work but found it very difficult to do without anything to watch. I believe on the very first night of no media I was asleep on the couch by 8 pm.

Oh & the texting. Oh my stars how I missed texting. I'm not a talker. I mean I love my friends & my family dearly but I really don't want to talk to you if we can just text. When I'm talking I feel like I have to sit & do nothing else but give you my undivided attention & who has time for that I mean really. Yes, I did just say I don't even want to make time for people I want to have a conversation with. But honestly aren't we all like that to a point. We are all so wrapped up in our own lives that we don't even want to take 10 minutes from our schedule to think about anyone else. It's crazy, it's selfish, & it's just rude. Must try to make some changes to that as well.

My body was very thankful for media week & I believe my soul was too. The kids & I spent more time outside just listening to life. We would just sit & quietly talk about all the amazing things we saw & heard & how great it was that God made it all for us.

As much as I’m glad to have my internet & my DVR back I will say that there are definitely things that we will have to change in our home with all the screen time we use.
