A Trap

Facebook  - its a trap of your time, energey, emotions, and I'm sure other things. But thats all I can come up w/ right now. Let me first state for the record that I love FB! We just have a bit of a love/hate relationship. I love how I can keep up w/ old friends, see whats going on in thier lives, and leave little notes saying just that. In the same way I hate seeing what others are doing, that I might not want to see, or knowing things I may not want to know. I could get my feelings hurt, if I let it. I could take a comment the wrong way that someone has left. I could find things out that might not need to be found out. . . . Its so silly really.

I was just on there - and realized that I can spend lots of time on there, doing NOTHING! Absolutly nothing! Who cars? Who do I really need to let know whats going on in my life, and vice versa? No one! Its a great tool for networking, and staying in touch, but I'm a stay @ home mom - what do I need to network for? Who wants to know what I'm doing all day? Its really not that exciting. And who do I think I am that people want to know? Shouldn't I be focused on others? As a christian, thats my focus - or it should be - others. Not me, and my selfishness.

What really got me on this rampage of FB being a trap is a comment I read. And just like that I was like - 'who does this person think they are? They don't know what they are talking about!'
Then I realized how silly I was being. Who cares? Yes I was irritated @ the comment, but whatever. Its not really a huge deal to me - I don't want to let it be a huge deal, b/c the source of it is silly and immature. . . . So I didn't comment my irritation, I let it be - b/c its FB! I try and be an honest, straight forward person, and I don't need to leave little things that say something in a round about way - its just as silly! 

Personal news - Mark was suppose to be out of town last night, and the trip got cancelled! I was so glad when I heard that! He got to come home and spend some time w/ Kaia and I. She was asking for him all say too - I was thinking its going to be a long day! This morning they got to spend some time together as well which is nice for me. I love watching the two of  them together, she just loves her daddy! It was so nice to have him home last night too - and spend some time together. @ the beginning of this week, I was just hoping that friday would get here sooner than it looked like it would. Sure enough, little changes happened, and we did get another night together this week we weren't planing on having! I'm so thankful for my family - Mark and Kaia - I know that this new baby is going to be surrounded w/ lots of love and be welcomed right in. I'm thankful for my marriage and the relationship that we have - it'll be 5 yrs in June! I can't believe it. What we have to be thankful for - I'm a blessed woman : )
