Facebook Pet Peeves

Here are a few facebook posts that have annoyed me lately and led me to un-follow or defriend some.

. Spreading misleading or false stories..come on, we have way too much of this going on. Google is your friend and it does not take long to make sure the information you are putting out there is real or not. If it comes from the onion..it's fake! If the title sounds kinda crazy, most the time the real story has nothing to do with it.
Along the same lines..

. Outdated information. Look, I think we need to get information out there if a kid or adult is missing but I see posts from years ago and the person had been found. Recalls that are no longer valid, if they recalled something years ago, chances are the problem is fixed. Yes google again is your friend.

. I don't need to see every single meal you are cooking, or every time you go out to eat you don't need to tell me where you are. Unless you are inviting everyone over or need us to meet you at the restaurant. No one really cares and it just proves how self absorbed you can be. This is different than sharing great recipes, which you can do on Pinterest.

. Talking bad about friends, family or neighbors(or anyone you or anyone on your friends list knows). Just don't do it. I have had it happen to me and made a quick and polite phone call to remind this person about being an adult. I shouldn't have to do that with anyone over 18. If you have a problem with someone tell them or your close friends but there is no need to make it public.

. Politics, Religion. Need I say more? My views are pretty set, you won't change my mind and the more you post the closer my mouse gets to the unfriend button. I remember back before the internet when we didn't know or care what our neighbors views were, I miss that.

There are things I love about facebook, keeping in contact with those I live far from, funny Meme's (love them!), pictures, funny things you do, happy quotes, and more. Lets just keep the drama out.

Snow Dancing Facebook Rant

Ok, so I am not dancing in the snow this time. I have had enough and there will be no more joy in the snow, I stayed in after this storm. I mean come on, it's March, there should be no more snow. My kids have had about 2 weeks of snow days and I feel like my housework can't catch up..oh wells, more things for me to do when they are at school.
Yesterday I decided to weed through my facebook friends, and thought a good long few seconds about de-friending some family and friends I know. The reason is because of the crazy posts they decided everyone in their facebook world needs to know about, I'm sure we all know people like that. Anyway, I kept them but I blocked them from my feeds and boy does that feel good! My next few posts in the coming weeks will be about the annoying things people do on facebook..there are just so many!

More Snow!

So we got the big one..10 inches of snow. Now the kids have another long weekend, I think I am getting so use to them being home I don't mind anymore. They shoveled and cleaned up and we are just being lazy today. Kassi is having a few friends over tomorrow for her birthday so we are having a fun weekend!

Ice day

The kids have today off again..this time for ice. I mean it is a little icy but I'm sure they would of made it to school ok..oh well more time with my kids right. I am going to venture out later since I have to get birthday supplies for my birthday girl tomorrow.

Today I am on a roll, I won 2 prizes this morning..$10 from Pillsbury Holiday Cash and the daily prize..which I am not sure what it is yet at Thomas' English Muffins I am sure its some bagels or something..how fun! I also got my workout in, yay me.

Have a great Wednesday!

February

It's February already! I have been really bad at updating the last few weeks. I was sick and the kids were home for an entire week with snow days...ya it was crazy. Then last week I painted and remodeled the kids bathroom, pictures as soon as it is completely finished. This week I am back on track and kids are back in school (fingers crossed). Amazing how things like sickness can derail plans, but I am determined and now I am back on track.
Things that have happened, Nate got his first wrestling win in the last official match he will have this year..yay! Rush almost had to go to Puerto Rico, but didn't, yay! The Super Bowl was boring..boo, but some of the commercials were cool..mini yay. Connor started baseball with his first winter workout..yay!

This week will be fun, Connor has his district choir concert on Saturday, pretty proud of him. My youngest has her birthday in a few days..can't believe my baby will be 10, I sure don't feel that old. Nate is still practicing with his wrestling team even though he is done with his matches, he has lost 10 lbs and is looking tough!

Now off to get my coffee and plan the rest of the week!

5 minutes

Sometimes 5 minutes seems like it lasts forever, like when I'm working out or doing the dishes. Other times 5 minutes goes by too fast.  Every morning I sit outside with my 14 year old for 5 minutes waiting for his bus.  Not because I have too, he is old enough and big enough to do it by himself.  I do it mainly because I know it can be lonely and boring outside in the dark and I like to keep him company.  Most days we chat about what he has to do at school or afterwards.  Some days we talk about history or goofy sounds or weird things we have seen. Others we complain about the weather or mundain things like chores.  When we see the bus he hugs me tells me he loves me and we do silly waves as he walks down the driveway.  Whatever the topic is that day I realize those are some of the best minutes of my day.  I am pretty lucky I have a kid that likes talking nonsense with me.

Foggy days

Yay for kids so far going to school all week..well except for Connor coming home sick yesterday. He is the only kid I have ever had to pick up sick (multiple times) from school. He has a way with the teachers and they all feel bad for him when he is sickly..funny kid.

As weeka go, it's going pretty good. Hubby's bday is today and he is home sick in bed. I am making him cheesecake and maybe something good for dinner, but probably not since he will be gone all night at a wrestling meet Nate's school is having.

I think it's crazy pet day today too because all of mine are driving me batty! Here's to keeping my sanity today:)
