I have officially lost count!

It is possible that in my little attempt to make the biggest sacrifice I could think of, I may have unintentionally cheated. Unintentional being the key word here.

Let me give a small sample of my weeks as of late...

Monday - Mom Taxi. School the child (why yes I did say I was not fit for homeschooling, but I assure you this is temporary...I hope. I'm seriously not cut out for this job.) Find out the Realtor wants to show the house Tuesday. Start cleaning. Mom Taxi for the next two hours. Dinner. Catechism for the wee ones. Home. House, 24, Castle, Bed. And somewhere in between all of that I read.

Tuesday - Mom Taxi. School the child WHILE cleaning the house. Mom Taxi again while avoiding the house with a trip to the library to pick up 4 new books. Start reading one new book. Home. Dinner. American Idol. Read the rest of book 1. Bed.

Wednesday - Mom Taxi (Seeing a pattern here?) School the child. Relax for a bit with book 2. Did I mention I'm really not feeling well by this point? Finish book 2. Mom Taxi. Dinner. American Idol. Bed.

Thursday - Realtor wants to show the house Friday. UGH. Mom Taxi. Still not feeling well so pick up book 3 while schooling the kid. Mom Taxi while reading book 3. (Well not while driving, just while waiting. And you are correct, I did not start cleaning yet. Book 3 is good. Home. Dinner. Or something like that. I'm REALLY not feeling good by this point. Finish book 3. Grey's Anatomy. Fall asleep during Private Practice. (I was pushing it)

Friday - Mom Taxi. No school child, need to make the boys clean their room. Must clean the house AGAIN. Boys watch movies and play video games so they don't mess up their room while I clean, and clean, and OM FREAKING GOODNESS why isn't this house clean already and why does it smell funny? Oh great, something dead in the wall. Now I look like I can't keep my house smelling nice. Mom Taxi. Dinner. Rock Band with Neighbors. Bed. No book :(

Saturday - Recover from Rock Band while watching men cut down trees across the street.. Birthday Party with Neighbor. More watching of cutting down trees. Starting Book 4. Movie with the hubs. Bed.

Sunday - More of book 4. Church (this takes longer than expected.) Finish Book 4. Pack a little more. NOW I start craving twitter and facebook. No more books. Nothing on TV. House still semi clean. Don't feel like cleaning again till Monday even though I'll be rushing because they are showing the HOUSE AGAIN on Monday. Finally give in and just go to bed. Starting to feel better, might as well help it along.

Guess what I did on Monday?

BUT while the house was being shown I went to the library and picked up 10 more books. Finished on last night. I think I may have a problem. An addiction? Do normal people usually read a book a day?

Well the good news is I am through 5 of the recommended books.

13 Reasons Why
Love You, Hate You, Miss You
The Adoration of Jenna Fox
Identical (I think that one was an extra from the Ellen Hopkins books)
Crank

On the roster from the Library

Impulse
I'd tell you I love you but then I'd have to Kill You
Cross my Heart and Hope to Spy
When You Reach Me
Gone
Hunger
Graceling

And three I chose by myself by Maureen Johnson
13 Little Blue Envelopes
Girl at Sea
Suite Scarlett

10 Days worth of Reading. Which do I read first?!?!?

You don't even want to know what my "On Hold" list looks like! (Which includes AT LEAST 13 more books.)

Day Three Twitter/Facebook Fasting

I am now sending emails in 140 characters or less. #twitterfastingFAIL

I felt empty last night when I could not announce to twitter that I was eating ice cream. #twitterfastingFAIL

Not sure how to get through my #followfriday without announcing all my favorite twiends. #twitterfastingFAIL

Cannot get through a sentence without using a hash tag. #twitterfastingFAIL

Feeling the need to speak in hash tags is confusing my husband. #twitterfastingFAIL

"Hey @TobbySmith, can you help me make dinner?" #housewifeFAIL #twitterfastingFAIL

Feel lost and broken without saying #windinmyhhhaaaiiirrrr at least once a day. #twitterfastingFAIL

Feeling the INTENSE urge to check each of these sentences in twitter to make sure I don't go more than 140 characters. #twitterfastingEPICFAIL

(Ok really, I'm doing pretty good. I haven't opened up twitter once and I am barely shaking anymore. #twitterfastingWIN!!!)

Experiencing Withdrawal! Day One of Lent

I decided to give up Facebook and Twitter for Lent. Somebody smack me upside the head. I can already feel the symptoms of withdrawal coming on.

My fingers are all itchy wanting to click on jewels.

I can't stop shaking and rocking back and forth as I think about all the tweets about #windinmyhaaaaiiirrrr and #querypityparty that I am missing.

My palms are sweaty.

I NEED to click on something! I NEED to send a tweet!
As you can see I am giving up Twitter and Facebook for a good reason.

If Jesus can go 40 days and 40 nights without food to keep him alive, surely I can go 40 days and 40 nights without seeing my dad say, "I like wine." and "I like chocolate.". Surely I can spend that time not stalking agent tweets to see if they liked my query. Surely I can survive without discussing whether or not I am Team Peeta or Team Gale...

right? Right? RIGHT?!?!?!.

So ummmmm, who's gonna tweet and post my blog link for me??? AHHHHHHHHHH

*heads for a jar of cookies*

It's a Late Start, but...

Just a quick blog today. I know I know, I just got back to it! BUT.........It's Good Friday I've decided I need to do something worth while today. And since we've all witnessed my blogging/twitter/facebook/(insert social media site here) obsessions...Oh wait, you didn't know about the last few. Well um, see I um....OH DEAR!!!!

Continuing on.... Since I have a sad obsession/addiction to the internet in general I have decided to give it up for the day as a way of fasting. I know it's late and the day has started, BUT it's never to late to in my books to start fasting. So you meant to not eat today and you already slopped down an entire 5 course breakfast. Well don't eat lunch and dinner. Know what I mean? So friends, your blogs will have to wait till tomorrow. My Tweets will have to spend a day without me. And my facebook friends will spend the day in complete awe of my absence. I CAN DO THIS!

So are you fasting today? If so, what have are you fasting from? Remember, it doesn't just have to be food! It can be the internet, your writing, tv, Edward(?), video games. If I can do this, anyone can fast!!! Seeya tomorrow kids :)
