No Electronics, Kind of...

Mason decided that what he REALLY wanted to do this weekend was have two days electronic free.  OMFG.  How, as a responsible parent, was I supposed to say "no" to THAT?  So, we agreed through gritted teeth.  And, I have to say both Shawn and I decided the only way we could possibly survive this hell was if we were allowed a short time in the morning and again at night just to CHECK TO SEE IF THE INTERNET POSTED ANY NEW LOL CATS.

Because, seriously, a whole weekend away from Facebook?  AO3? LJ?  BOING-BOING?   Was that even physically possible or would my head explode from lack of LOL CAT intervention.

Turns out, I survived.  It was hard.  I was forced to write fanfic BY HAND as well as draw in order get out some of my frustration.  On the flip side, we actually got a surprising amount of work done around the house (I know, weird, right?)  Luckily, Mason abandoned this insanity half-way through Sunday and he watched a streaming episode of his favorite show "MythBusters."  I was allowed to surf.  Shawn had to work, so I'm sure she frantically checked the New York Times, Gizmo and io9 during her breaks.  Then, in a crazy continuation of this whole no electronics thing, Mason and I went for a walk in downtown St. Paul, and he read by the river.
