…a WordPress addict!
My Hubby dearest thinks so anyway!
But is that true?
I wake in the morning and do the responsible mum things, get lunches ready, breakfast, uniforms out, then, with my cup of tea, I sort through my notifications and have my first read of my Reader…
Then the kids come and spoil that, so I do what I need to do with them.
As they get ready I continue my reading of the reader, and posting possibly, as I am at the moment…
Oops, we’re running late! Quick kids! “Lil Princess, I’ll do your hair whilst driving, hurry up!”
During the day I think “Thank God for technology!”, allowing me to check my blog during the day at work.
I go through the day storing ideas that would make a good blog post.
Oooh! Photo opportunity! That would look great in a post! I whip my phone out to take a pic…
Sometimes I might even post!
If we’re home early I might have a browse of the reader again. Dinner time and I feed the kids, then when I know they are comfortably eating, I rush upstairs to the pc, my only opportunity to use the computer, and update if I need to or write certain posts that need the PC, not a mobile device.
Then it’s kiddie time, homework, bath, reading bedtime and cuddles.
I guess I have to feed Hubby and myself too so after dinner, and any ironing that needs doing, it’s back to the haven of my bed, and iPad, so I can catch up on the reader, and maybe post again…
I won’t put it down until Hubby might have huffed and puffed at least twice… Oops! My Kindle sits there forlornly, looking at me, I appear to have been neglecting it! I mush read a book again soon!
And now my new dilemma, in the summer I get up a bit earlier, as its lighter. Last year I used the opportunity to slot some exercise into my day first thing in the morning… This year I really need to get in the exercise mill again but I fear I will be more grateful of extra blog browsing time…
HELP! This blog is making me FAT!!!!!!
Ideally I need an extra 2-3 hours in the day, the usual 24 for normal life and sleeping… And some extra for me to peruse and use my blog without feeling guilty that I should be doing something else!
So… Am I an addict? (I think I might be, just a little one…)
Go on, speak loud and proud if you are part of my little WordPress-a-holics group!
But I Smile Anyway...

I went back and found this post of yours because I sometimes feel I am an addict too. It’s making me fat, thats for sure. Anytime I could be exercising, I’m thinking about posting, reading and updating social media. If I could I would quit my job in a heart beat and dedicate that time to blogging. Think of how lucky those are that have that luxury!

I “Try” to limit myself to hour a day (reading and commenting), but sometimes it doesn’t work. I know it can become very addictive, because sometimes this 1 hour becomes 3 or 4 hours
Just do a post myself every 1-2 weeks myself.
A very thought provoking post Ritu. 🙂

I believe there is an app that will speak to you so you could take up exercising again and armed with a set of ear buds you could walk/jog/run hit the treadmill whatever and listen to all your favorite blogs on your reader. Problem solved!

Thank you. If ever an entrepreneurial zeal prompts you to do something in life, you may consider the option of opening up two de-addiction centers: one specializing in internet and another perhaps in feline creatures. Sonu Singh permitting, of course.

Your hubby and my hubby have a lot in common. They both have wives addicted to WordPress. I’m more addicted to posting than the Reader. I definitely need to reach out more to other bloggers, though. Funny, it’s 4am, and I’m still sitting in my pajamas in bed. First thing I thought of this morning when I couldn’t sleep was blogging. Ya, that’s an addict.
