RE: Sunday's Confessional

I still spent too much time online today.

But I got a few things done as well!

I did dishes, folded laundry, cleaned another load of laundry, made Jesse's Thomas the Train fitted crib sheet, and gave Jesse a bath.

I was semi-functional. :)

Etsy Baby Treasury

I'm putting together a Poster Sketch for a baby-themed treasury.

If you want to be on it, let me know what you have!

Sunday's Confessional

I spend waaaayy too much time online.

Literally, I spend about 18+ hours online during the summer. It's not healthy.

But then again, I have a lot I'm involved with online:

4 CafeMom pages (one personal, one for etsy, one for Home Interiors, one for my Missouri Moms group)

MommyAuctions (mod and seller)

Etsy store

Numerous WAHM trading/selling groups

Kizoodle

Post Points

Myspace

Mommy2Mommy and The Diva Within (ning social networks)

The Momma Sanctum forum



and that's just the short list.


My fiance wants me to cut back on them so I got rid of a few trading groups... only to join others. I'll admit- it is my addiction.

I make excuses saying that most of those website bring in some sort of income, which most of them do. But I'm still not doing things I could be doing during the day.. like playing with my son, cleaning, etc.

I need to limit my online time like my mom used to do for my sister and me.
Mom always knows best, doesn't she?

Confessions?

Do I have anything to confess? Sure...
Do I really want to confess everything? No..

So why start this blog?

My name is Jessica and I'm 19. I had my son, Jesse, 6 days before my 18th birthday and only a few months after I graduated high school. I went to Prom and walked across the stage at graduation with my lovely 6 month pregnant belly, and I truly enjoyed it. I am beginning this blog as a way to "control" myself. I have many deep buried issues that I tend to forget about for months. I'll remember one day and allow that memory to mostly destroy me. I then have to rebuild myself.

That process is tiring.

I used to journal, but it takes too long and my typing is much faster than my penmanship.. and it's easier to read.

This blog will be my haven. I may not let you know it all, but most of it. I will begin again tomorrow with a short introduction.

Let the confessions begin...
