Facebook, It's Been Fun, But Maybe I'm Done

I was one of those users who got started on Facebook when it was strictly for college kids. You had to have a .edu e-mail address to sign up, and it was one of those places where it was just fun to hang around and wasn't as cluttering and dumb downed as Myspace.

Now that everyone and their moms have Facebook, especially my mom, she's all over Facebook commenting, posting, tagging..... a little frustrating....

I've been on Facebook for so long and have been on it recently just checking out some stuff, when I realized...... This is just a tad bit silly. I mean, who wants to know that you're stressed out at the grocery store, or that your so happy/angry/frustrated/elated about your husband. Does anyone really care where I am checking in at or that I'm feeling sleepy at the moment?? I didn't think so.

Being a blogger and working with social media with businesses, I definitely see the use for it for businesses and brands. It fills the gap and let's customers have a closer relationship to businesses then they didn't have before.

For personal use though, I'm starting to find Facebook a little, annoying. I love Twitter though still, because I am still able to upload cute pictures and network with professional people at the same while still keeping it personal.

I'd rather have a relative call me or text me versus than write on my personal Facebook Page.

I am liking Google+ though, but that could also just be because it's new and limited just like how Facebook was.

Of course though, I'll never be able to get rid of my personal Facebook account, as long as my mother keeps tagging me in all of her pictures....

When a 4 year old finds scissors...

Yesterday, my 4 year old daughter broke my heart. She completely had me crying, in tears, for at least 4 hours straight. You see, I had always took pride in my daughter. She had never drew on the wall, had skipped throwing tantrums in the terrible two's, and even made a super easy switch from being the only baby, to becoming a big sister. Yesterday though, she broke my heart.

This is a lovely picture of my 1st born angel. This is her 2 weeks ago at her first day, of her 3rd year of ballet class. Take note of her beautiful long, thick curls. She very much is a girly girl, except for the fact that she's very much like a tom boy :) I love her hair though. We braid it, have it long and flowy, and she refers to her hair as Rapunzel's hair.

Then...

I walked in on this yesterday...

Yes. That's hair. Truly's hair. Mixed in is some of her pony's hair too.

My dear sweet Truly did the unthinkable and decided that she needed a haircut of her own. I couldn't believe it. "Why?!?" I begged, "Why would you do this??!"

She knew I was upset and mad, but she told me, "Mommy, it's hot, and I'm beautiful, I wanted to be beautiful..."

She continued, wiping my silly tears, "Now it's like Rapunzel too when she cut her hair, I'm beautiful."

"Truly... yes.... you are always beautiful....."

Teenage Years Don't Scare Me

Outside Katy Perry Concert

Requests to my 4 year old, to the future teenager that awaits me

Dear Truly,

If this is the attitude that I get now, I do not look forward to our teenage years together.

Plus, I'm pretty sure you will be taller than me.

And then you remind me that you are a sweet, precious little girl, who loves and appreciates me so much!

The Katy Perry Concert Stage

Even though everyone warns me about your teenage years, I know that our teenage years together will only be as horrible and stressful as I allow. 

This was our first big concert, out of many to come, going together.
