Surprisingly to me, my husband, and many others I'm sure, I have only been tempted a few times by Facebook's snarky head. But I just walked away! Isn't that nuts? In fact, a few days ago, Facebook sent me not one but TWO emails asking me 'where did you go?' I apparently have over 100 notifications and several messages. I actually chuckled and went back to reading my Beth Moore book.
That being said, I have had an unnerving desire to get back on Pinterest. I feel like we broke up and never had our closure. I miss the craftyness. The hilarious pictures. The ambitious recipes I eventually force my poor family to consume. I actually had to GOOGLE a Valentine's day door idea for our classroom and use a cookbook for dinner the past three weeks! Isn't that strange??
I have really enjoyed my quiet time in the evenings, however, and for some blasted reason, my body wakes up bright eyed and bushy tailed at FIVE AM and I find myself reading Whispers of Hope and actually enjoying myself. Wow. What happened to the bear of a chick who practically snarled at anyone who even smiled at me before 8 am??
I have enjoyed playing more with my kiddos. I never realized how much time I wasted updating my status or pinning garden plans which will more than likely result in this:
(Poinsettia is 'thriving')...
(Poinsettia is 'thriving')...I have learned Turtle's vocabulary has trumped sisters by a long shot. Both my children are obsessed with poptarts. And Bee has really picked up singing. Like a deaf Britney Spears.
I will reinstall my Pinterest (gleefully) and update my Facebook statuses so the cyber world knows I do exist. Ironically Husby's birthday is on the 21st. I don't know if I'll have time to find the perfect cake on my favorite online pinboard. I hope he can settle for Duncan Hines! Ha!
What would you give up for 21 days to honor someone who gave up everything for you? (Diet coke? Chocolate? TiVo?-- I think I would perish!)
XOXO Summer
