Everyday there's one more on the list ...
Like a magnet, they continue to draw me in ...
Hours and hours ...
Just one more click ...
Oh, that looks interesting ...
And on and on it goes. I am totally addicted to blogs. Crafts, and ideas for church, and interesting stories about people's families and trips ... and on and on and on ...
Some people I know personally. I'm even related to most of those that I know personally. I love reading their thoughts and updates on their lives. BUT ...
They have links on their page that direct me to other blogs who have more links to other blogs. The list is really long. And I'm totally addicted. I must have my blog fix daily. Unfortunately, it really takes up a lot of my time ...
Besides consuming my precious time (you all know what I mean - there's just so little of if), often it leaves me feeling inadequate. These women are so talented! They are so organized! Their children are so creative and well groomed! Their homes are beautifully decorated!
At least that's what I see ...
As benign as this addiction is (and I really have no intention of trying to break it - yet), I have come to realize that there are dangers in all addictions. And so, I struggle with my self-worth because of the things I perceive.
All because of addiction.

Anyone who says they haven't felt everything that you just described about blogs is lying! But I've just decided to take the inspiration and leave the rest! Unfortunately now they are even more addicting! Sorry I can't be more help I am also an addict.
This morning I started reading some blogs that I love and just hit a thread, one after the other talking about the same thing.
