DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

You know you’re addicted to Navy For Mom’s when…
You know you're on the Navy for Moms site too much when........ You get off the computer and your hand is curled up stiff like it's still on the mouse. – Tammy Hodges

Struggling with that same thing this morning my Navy sista! :) Ah, but I've done that too much over the summer and I promised myself, (plus I'm accountable to the Ship Shape gang on here-you should join the Group too!), so as hard as it is, I'm tearing myself away. We can do it Nancy... ready, steady, one, two, three, shut 'er down and GO!!
Hey, we can reward ourselves with an N4MA T-shirt which we can then sport to the gym next week! =)

Ok, you know you're addicted when your husband tells everyone that I was not at all interested in the computer until Navy 4 moms, and now he can't get me off !
Really addicted when you are still in your nightshirt at 7P.M.(from the previous night), and when you get up from your chair your legs are stuck to the chair!!!!!

You know you're addicted when....
You have to work 30 - 45 minutes late two to three times a week cuz all of a sudden 5:00 is here and you still haven't finished that report!! (oops!)
8-)

You know your addicted when no matter how late it is and how tired you are, you can't go to sleep until you've gone on to check your Navy for Moms page, replied to all the messages, and left a message for those moms you haven't heard from in a couple of days.
You know your addicted when you have been trying to get to that pile of wash done, write those checks out for those bills, and get the shopping done, for days, but you always find the time to go on Navy for moms.

Ah, spoken like a true addict! LOL Of course, takes one to know one and I do recognize myself all too well in your words my sista. My solutions: (these don't work as well for single moms or those who live alone) Delegate! i.e. teach my kids to do their own laundry (I'll just "supervise"), autopay online, breakfast for dinner-again, or make your own sandwiches and have hubby hit the store on the way home, Wahlah, problem solved...more time for N4M's! Sad, I know, but effective. :-)

Yah, isn't nice to know those guys can be such a big help in the kitchen. ;) (ducking and weaving, running for cover!) I am so glad my husband is a good cook too.

You know your struggling when you husband asks..."how are the moms" instead of 'how is your mom'?!!!
Wait ladies.... let's look at this a different way! Navy4Moms has been a great learning tool...yea, that's it! I have learned how to embed music and photos into a web page! I have also learned how to pull up multiple websites so I can hear my n4m page music while I read posts on other n4m discussions. Then there is the ability to search 'you tube' videos for Great Lakes graduations while importing pictures to my n4m page. Need a gift for PIR? Open another page and - poof! Google Navy gifts and never have to leave N4M's! I can even log on to N4Ms on my cell phone. Ain't life grand? I am begining to see the benefits of cyborg. If only I could have a small screen embedded into my windshield? Told a friend about it the other day. Her son is leaving for Army Boot Camp in about a week. Maybe I will get around to looking for a site similar for Army moms. Well...., maybe she can find time for that!

Do you have any idea how hard we try to GET people to learn how to do this at my job??? Hmmm, maybe I need to start a site like this for my work. Then I would never get anything done. ;)

Yes, My kis are amazed at how much I have learned to do on the computer since they have all moved out. LOL I tell them that is because when they lived at home no one would let me on it. lol
-
-
Yes DeLane I too have learned a lot about the computer on N4M's. LOL at all the responses because I'm sure each of us sees ourself in each one's comment.

does it mean your addicted to navyformoms when your husband wants to know if the letteres on your keyboard can still be seen..lol
-

you have to check a message before bed because you cannot wait until the morning!! (makes my hubby a little perturbed)
