Anticipation is harder than the execution!!

There has been this thing that I have been avoiding for a week or so.  I don't know what kind of things I thought would happen if I did it, but I had convinced myself that it was easier to ignore than do...  I took the computer away from my 4 year old!  After writing that statement, I am shocked at how ridiculous that sounds!  I was 19 years old when my parents got a computer, my aunt & uncle don't have one and neither do any of our grandparents, yet I was avoiding shutting the stupid thing off and putting it away from my 4 YEAR OLD!!!!  It's not like he even knows how to do much on it, but he does know how to get himself a netflix movie, which has become his TV time for the day. Unfortunately his TV time has taken over our day.  For those of you who know me well, know that I have a relationship with my coffee in the morning.  When Malakai watches the computer, I get to have an extra long coffee time, which is so incredibly selfish.  I have justified it in the past by saying "my kids are better off if I get my coffee time.  No idiot, your kids are better off if you get down on the floor and play with them.  So this morning at 7:56, 8 minutes after daddy left, Malakai comes to me and says "I wanna watch a movie."  I look at him, I look at my coffee and I say "no"!  He then starts to pull out the big elephant tears and fake cry, and I do not give in.  He continues to mope around the house for the next few minutes, but after a bit he is done.  He picks up his car basket, hands me a car, and we play cars for a bit (while I drink my coffee).  Then he and Annabelle do something astonishing... they play together!!  The world did not end, I didn't even play with them that much.  I built them a fort, which has been the highlight of our morning so far!!  It is hard for me to admit how much screen time the kids have had, I want to think that I am not one of those moms.  For the most part I am not, but as of late I have been.  So today has been a good day because I took the computer away, except from me.  How else am I gonna share with you all!!!
Hope your day is as blessed as mine has been!!!
