- Wouldn't it be healthier if I could wake up all on my own? Apparently the health benefits vs curses are negligible. So I could pretend like it's just like water. But sometimes I hate feeling so dependent on something to keep me thinking during the day.

- I recently purged a ton of old contacts from my Facebook account, thinking that if I had less traffic on my newsfeed, I'd be more likely to stop spending hours stalking people I will never talk to again. Instead, I've started stalking people I should really just call up on the phone.
3. Pinterest- This site is a black hole. Not only does it show me all the ways folks are crazy creative, but it makes me want every. single. thing. they've made.

3. Teacher Blogs
- Especially since most of the blogs are by teachers who have lower elementary classes. I teach upper and high school. I'm not sure I'm really benefitting from reading up on how to create the perfect bulletin boards.
5. Office Supplies- This is an expensive obsession. I just find it so difficult to pass up multi-colored file folders!
A few of these addictions are internet-based, so I've decided that the best way to put a clamp on them is to limit my internet use. Of course, every time I start to try to implement said clamp, I talk myself out of all the reasons I wanted to quit in the first place.
Justifications
1. Coffee frees my mind and helps me focus. At least I don't do drugs.
2. My friends are on Facebook because they want to be stalked. If they didn't want to be stalked, then they wouldn't have an account and I would be forced to call them and have a real relationship with them. They have social anxiety. Stalking them is helping them.
3. I need to get more ideas for classroom management. My eighth graders aren't going to self-police. Reading up on this classroom management manual for kindergarteners will help. I can apply the same principles and use books without pictures to illustrate my point.
4. By electronically keeping track of things that I like, I am saving trees.
5. If my desk is not organized, then my life is not organized and I will self-destruct. What if there is a natural disaster and I cannot find my passport? I need that label maker.
Things I wish I was addicted to:
1. Church
2. Exercise
3. Vegetables
4. Classical Literature
5. Cleaning
Dream big, America.

Amen. Coffee is, however, a part of your Kellyness :) I am on to far too many cups a do, so maybe I feel that one is perfectly justified.
