addicted
 
My name is Terri.  I'm a webaholic.
(you have to be to create and maintain this many web pages)
I think I need help. LOL  If you asked my family they would agree.  I've tried to
get it under control but, I can't.  The first thing I do in the morning is hop on
the puter.  The last thing I'm doing at night is working on the puter.  Sometimes I
come home for lunch and eat while on the puter.
I've gotten very good at hiding my addiction.  I've learned to get my wifely & motherly duties done while still on the puter  But, I did have a close call being late for work because I had a broken link that I had copied and pasted throughout my pages and IT HAD TO BE FIXED before I left for work.
This poem was sent to me from an online friend.
I think it pretty much sums it up. Thanks Nancy :)
I'm really not an addict,
 There is no need to shout;
     But talking with my puter friends,
  Has turned my life about.
 
                                               I still do the grocery shopping,
                                                   And make a bed or two;
                                                But instead of staring at TV,
                                                   I spend some time with you.
 
                                                I go with friends or family,
                                                    To dinner or a show;
                                                 I take the time to hear my kids,
                                                    Or to watch a flower grow.
 
                                            But yes, you'll find me off and on,
                                                Sitting on my puter chair;
                                            And talking to my cyber friends,
                                                Who always seem to care.
 
                                            There are redeeming qualities,
                                                And hear me if you will;
                                           Since playing in this cyber world,
                                            I've improved keyboarding skill.
 
                                            In fact I feel at peace with life,
                                                    Things are going well;
                                                The only thing it hasn't done,
                                                    Is teach me how to spell.
 
My List of Things I can do while browsing the web and working on my web pages:
* Talk on the phone
* Make the beds
*Change the bed sheets
*Wash, Hang or Fold Laundry
*Make dinner and Eat Dinner!
*Water the garden or flower beds
*Vacume and dust
*Clean the bird cage
*Feed the cat and the fish
*Take out the trash
*Put on my makeup
*Paint my fingernails and toenails
*Pack the kids for their weekend with Dad
I'm sure there are more but, they aren't coming to me at this moment since, everything is already done.
Do any of these things hit home?  Then you too ~ are addicted to the web!
Hey, it could be worse!  There are worse addictions out there.  At the moment
I am not looking for help a support group.  Although I think I am becoming a
hermit.  Never want to leave my house.

P.S.  I haven't yet figured out how to fit the "wifely duties" into this list-if you
know what I mean.  Think my mind would be too busy trying to figure out
what new page I could create!  LOL
