Yep! I'm with you. Except I've been known to watch TV and read a book during ads. But, now that our state has outlawed texting and driving, i guess my issue with that has been resolved. :) WAIT! They didn't outlaw BLACKBERRY MESSAGING and driving ... *insert evil laughter here- then a sheepish grin*
LOL Jaime. I've been very disciplined about the iphone and driving. Partly because I have a teen driver and a soon to be driver in the car. Partly because it's just not worth the risk.
About a year ago, my husband and I attended a Wed. night class on Sabbath. It was not about being rigid or legalistic, but it did take a serious look at the patterns and seasons and need for actual rest in our lives. It was a good discussion.
One very practical thing that came out of it was how one person had established a Sabbath Basket. In it, especially on the day they had chosen to set apart to rest, all electronic gadgets (phones, laptops, etc.) went into the Sabbath basket.
I think my husband literally paled at the suggestion, lol! But just the idea has him much more aware of arriving home just to "check" on something he thought of between the office and home.
Blessings to you this day!
Beverly, I would not call that practical. I would call that a horrendous suggestion! LOL I'm pale with your husband!
When I read, that's all I do too, D. I actually have found I'm not good at multi tasking anymore. Maybe it comes with age. LOL
My only issue is that reading really takes ALL of my attention. I've been known to ignore my husband's voice, my children's cries of, "Mooommmmyyyy!," kitchen timers and ringing telephones because I'm so into a book. Seriously. I'm talking about a child yelling and hitting me and I'm totally clueless.
Praise God for nap time!
Oh my gosh, I love that photo. LOL I've done a similar pose (Downward facing dog though) while on my laptop. Pathetic. LOL
Great post, Denise! I've always been a multi-tasker. It's very hard for me to sit still and watch a movie without doing something else. Drives my husband crazy. At least now I can knit, so it keeps my hands busy while I'm watching TV and I don't feel like I'm wasting so much time.
I'm guilty. I actually talk on the phone and write...cook and read...clean when I'm chatting with a friend on the phone or via text...guess it's the world in which we live.
I'm older than you are, (as is my husband) but yes, my husband is like that! He can't sit still to read a book and if we go on vacation, he is bored fast if we can't go, go, go. He has to be doing 10 things at once.
On the other hand I could sit and watch a bird land, watch the sky for a half hour, fall deep into a book, watch the red foxes on the ridge and not move a muscle. I do believe I could be still enough to catch a hummingbird. LOL. I sleep without moving the covers, too. Things can slow down where I see the blink of an eye.
I'm just catching up on my Girls so I've done 3 comments in one swoop.
Tell your boys to NEVER answer their cell while driving. Sigh. One of ours clipped a mailbox doing that even though we told them not to. Not hurt, but he had to repair a mailbox and find a side mirror in a junkyard! It just chills my mother's heart when boys begin driving! Prayers!
