Facebook

I have had a negative experience with some friendships lately as well as some family members fueled partially by facebook! So yesterday in a bold move on my part I deactivated my facebook account! Until recently I hearted facebook, but in the last few months it has been used by some people in my life to make me feel less than wonderful about myself. Why not delete just those particular friends you ask? WELL, I really feel like that would make the sitution far worse and unleash far more drama than I am willing to handle at the moment so I just removed myself from the situation completely. Besides, if someone really wants to get in touch with me they can pick up the phone and contact me the old fashioned way, it's far more personal anyway! I needed to spend less time stalking peoples profiles and get a "real" hobby anyway!

I have wanted to devote more time to blogging anyway as I have found several blogs that "move me" to the core, they find the beauty in everything and often they move me to tears. I would love to be able to have that impact one day! But first I need to take in a deep breath and deal with all the crazy happenings around here, find the beauty in the situation and find inspirational words to write about it...easier said than done!

My house is quiet right now, my LO is watching some Thomas the Tank Engine (which can entertain him for hours), my DH is still sleeping and we spend much of the day yesterday cleaning and de-cluttering so I don't feel too much pressure to start puttering right away as I often do! The weather is dreary out, windy and grey! I was crossing my fingers for some sunshine this long weekend so we could head to the waterpark for some playtime.

One of my favorite things about having a LO this age is new things. I get excited, more excited than Devon for that matter. When we are doing something that is a new experience (or anything that could potentially create memories for my son) I get guidy like a kid at Christmas (and Christmas is a WHOLE other story). I want (I yearn) for my son to look back fondly at his childhood and have fond memories. I have many fond memories from my childhood (and some not so fond, and I would like to avoid that type of memory building for Devon). today's adventure was going to be the waterpark and a picnic but the weather has not cooperated accordingly so we will be off to the local pool for family swim today!
