I stumbled upon the Buried Treasure site when it was suggested by a Robinson Curriculum family. They have an impressive compilation of free book sites. The articles are WELL worth your while, especially this one. She reminds us that:
Every moment we spend on our computers is time we aren’t doing something else.
She also quotes Doug Wilson writing about poet Anne Bradstreet:
Anne’s poetry was written in hours snatched away from sleep. We may assume that her other literary pursuits, her studies which gave her grist for the mill, were conducted the same way. In other words, Ann was not reading and studying instead of caring for her family. She did not have her nose in a book when children needed to be fed and cared for.
On that note please hang on for the logistics post. It is drafted but the pics etc are not loaded and there is not time to finish today.
OUCH! A well needed reminder that the computer is just a tool, and limits are necessary, well in my case anyway. :)
