The only time you get housework done is when your computer is rebooting.

You try to squeeze in a shower while you are saving a huge layout in Photoshop

The minute you walk in the house you sit at your computer and barely get up the whole evening except to use the bathroom and get a bite to eat!
You eat lunch in front of the monitor. :)

OMG!!! Amber are you peeking in my windows? :D
The minute you walk in the house you sit at your computer and barely get up the whole evening except to use the bathroom and get a bite to eat!
You can nurse a tiny baby without a Boppy and STILL have two hands to type and mouse
You know all the keyboard shortcuts when you have two hands AND mouse clicks for when you're holding a little one away with your left arm
You gaze lovingly at beautiful artwork of your precious babies' photos, all the while the actual children are tugging on your arm begging, "Please feed me Mommy, I'm hungry!"
Your video-gaming husband turns off your monitor and declares, "Honey, this has become an obsession of EverQuest proportions..."
Your house looks like crap 'cause you'd rather scrap!

Thats pretty much my house!

OMGosh, I just love you guys!!!! :p
All the things I think, but fear saying cause I am afraid of sounding like a horrible mother. LOL
How about; I add to the kids tugging Emma....
The kids tug at you begging "mommy feed me", so you send the eldest child into the kitchen to feed them 'spaghetti O's'!!!

one better than that ---------- you forget to eat lunch!!!
You eat lunch in front of the monitor. :)
Or worse yet: you forget to feed your kids lunch!
Wish I had an oldest capable of feeding the little ones! But the nagging is good 'cause I have to stop!
The worst I ever did was satring at the monitor doing the "uh-huh" nod to my oldest (just turned 6), trying my best to look like I was paying attention, and she asked, "Why do you spend so much time on the computer?"
I knew she'd notice someday, but the first time was so hard!

your 3 year old asks for a cup of milk and you reply "just a minute"!
an hour goes by and he comes back "where's my milk mom"
"um, just another minute sweetie" and it's hours before the poor child gets his drink :( !!!

Hmmm - I can so relate to most of these. I would add:
- you can read a story book to your toddler while still checking DSP for messages and finishing your latest layout
- you get up at 5.30 so you can have quality "computer time" (child free) before you go to work
- when your toddler goes looking for you - the first place he tries is the computer room!

Your family is coming to visit you and is at the door and you yell, "Just a minute, they're about to give out the password!" so you let them wait.
...when your baby can't find you in the computer room and freaks out crying because she knows no place else to check!

you don't wear makeup for a photo because you know it will look better if you photoshop it in instead! :D

- You cry like you just lost your best friend (in Best Buy!) when your laptop dies and get even more hysterical when no one understands why you are so upset!
- You are really excited about having a baby because now you have someone to take pictures of and scrap! :)

you first reaction to being told you are going to be an auntie is "Cool - more layouts to do". And fingers crossed for a girl!

When your husband asks you if the laptop is broken - when you are actually spending some time with him :o
HWen your husband asks you why you are soo sleepy-"You went to bed at 10!" and you have to answer: "Yeah but I had a chat at 4am...." Hapened to me I tell you you should have seen his face!!!

You double-check the colors and prints when shopping for clothes -- even for your kids -- to make sure it's easily "scrappable" and if it goes with colors of kits you already have, and how it's gonna come out in LOs.

Your dog pees on your feet because you've said, "hold it just another minute" one to many times.

You are woken early one morning by your teenage daughter who cant find her school socks, and asks you where they are. You reply with " Thats ok, if you hold down shift while you free tranform it, make it smaller than the other picture and angle it then it will look good."......
No joke, this was me last week !!! I will never be allowed to forget it!! :D

(these are hillarious!!!!!! LOL)
Okay.... You know you're addicted when:
Your hubby wakes up when you climb into bed at 5:00 AM and asks you, "what woke you up?" and you hadn't even been to bed at all that night... or the night before... or the night before....

These are all too funny and close to home. I share the guilt of all other DSP members. The other day, my GD's mother couldn't convince her that Grandma was in the kitchen and not in the computer room when she was trying to head up the stairs.

When your DH comes in from walking the dog and the first place they BOTH look for you is the study (where the computer lives). :D
Sounds like I've got them both trained pretty well, no?

You guys are a scream. I can't really add anything because I think you have covered it all. I didn't realise there were others out there like me **sniff** (wipe away tear).

Oh I feel so at home - and I have done that "just a minute" to myself too many times to count - jumping over dogs in the hallway because I had to make one more adjustment to that ribbon or drop shadow.
