Not happy with the arrangement

I'm finding myself somewhat uneasy and unhappy about recent evening activities in my house. It's mostly a case of doing what we need to in order to get by. With our work and school loads (that's right I said our school loads - J is taking a project management course for certification) we have recently found ourselves in separate rooms on separate computers, after the little man goes to bed. I despise this disconnection caused by the connectivity in today's society. Unfortunately, it's just the reality for us right now, but I think we'll have to be diligent about getting back to spending quality time together in the evenings and on weekends to ensure this bad habit doesn't extend beyond our school loads.

The irony is that I once thought it was somewhat strange that my in-laws watched TV in separate rooms. This was no longer the case when I started to learn to watch TV in their home. If you wanted to watch what you wanted to watch, you went to a different room. How quickly I've found myself in a similar situation, except I'm in front of a different type of screen.
