Addicted to Social Media?

Are you addicted to social media? I know from personal experience how easy it is to go down that road. There have been many a day when I opted to surf the net instead of doing the evening dishes. Of course I was usually sorry the next morning as I scoured a batch of dried on cheese and tomatoe paste or pried dried bits of corn off of the plates. There have even been times when I told my daughter to wait five more minutes while I finished planting my crops. But thanks be to God, that I realized I was spending way too much time on the computer before I completely lost my mind. So how do you know if you are addicted to social media? The following list, while not scientifically proven, might help you decide.



Top Ten Indications You Might Be Addicted To Social Media


You know you are addicted to social media if:


1. Your blogs are longer then your daily conversations with your family.


2. You check your e-mails every five minutes.


3. You start having withdrawl symptoms if you have not tweeted or posted in fifteen minutes.


4. You unknowingly tell your childen they can have cookies and soda for dinner.


5. You start saying "LOL" instead of actually laughing at your husbands jokes.


6. Your mother calls and you tell her you can't talk because you have crops to plant.

7. You are late getting dinner on the table because you had to retweet 47 inspirational posts.


8. You correct your children and sound like u r txting .


9. You make your children watch "The Little Red Hen" on Youtube instead of reading it to them

before bed.



10. Your family has to send you an events request in order to spend time with you.



So just remember hugging you kids in person is way better then sending them a hug online! Signing off for now with wishes for a bright and beautiful day!
