Addicted to the Internet

So Dr. Phils definition of when something is abnormal is if it effects your everyday life.  I am not sure that my love of the internet qualifies but I think that it is close.   Recently our house went wireless, I know we are a little behind the curve but there never seemed to be a need to before.   I have fallen in love with the internet...all over again.  I am ready to cancel my cable and turn in  my library card.   Whatever I want to watch or read I seem to be able to find on the internet. 
I turn it on when I get up in the morning and leave it on all day.  I use the server Flock and it keeps all my stuff organized....several e-mail accounts, web feeds and facebook.  I love having it all as soon as I turn it on, the only thing that could be better is if it incorporated my myspace account.  I feel so connected.  Nothing is going to happen without me knowing about it.
I would think that this would interfere with my everyday life but  as a matter of fact it does not.  It is just there and I check it while Liam naps, I watch a show while the kids have the living room TV.  (ok so I have to admit that my husband does think that it interferes and I had to cut down...) I still have not perfected it.  I cannot remember my life before the internet...I hate talking on the phone and this is just the way to stay connected, I just have to remember to stay connected with those that are right in front of me also.  Is it more important to stop Liam from dumping the bubbles on his head or finishing typing this sentence?  (a little bubble never hurt anyone j/k)
I am learning to integrate it all.  I think it just takes balance.....
