Broke up with FB

Hey! Can you believe this? I have broken up with Facebook. Yep. Dunzo. Call me crazy. It's such a fantastic way to keep in touch with family members and friends and share pictures, frustrations, and get great mommy tips. But, it also makes me a little crazy. Let's face it. There are "friends" that maybe I don't want to see all the pictures of my kids. There are "friends" that I don't want to know when we are going on vacation or when we are going to the doctor. I mean, I don't know. I thought about deleting EVERYONE but my nearest and dearest. But, then you have the whole dilemma of what to say when people find out that you are friends with some and not with others. So, there. I did it. It was painful at first. Especially when I woke up this morning and had no newsfeed to read. No details about everyone's lives. When they are working, when they are sleeping, what they are eating. No complaints about our backwards weather, no new pictures of their smiling babies or the mess they woke up to in the kitchen. Perhaps I'll really miss it and reactivate my account. I tried to log back in to look at my own photos, but it appears that reactivates the account. SOOO...maybe fb and I will have an off-again, on-again relationship. Regardless, I feel like a little bit of a weight has been lifted. What does that mean for my blog? Well, let's see. I've been broken up with facebook for hours and here I am, writing an ACTUAL post on my own blog. The first in quite a while. This is a step in the right direction. Perhaps all the facebook energy can go into an actual documented blog. Imagine what this is going to do for my grammar! Maybe the energy from facebook can go into finding better layouts, more ideas, and connecting with other moms via blogging instead of facebook. I'm excited about this. I'm waiting for all of our mutual friends to ask Jay where I am and why I am no longer on facebook. I'm also wondering if he'll be able to take the plunge as well. I'm going to try to resist the urge to ask for his phone to catch up on the latest and greatest mutual buddies. I'm also going to try to see how I can make it easier to blog from my ipad. Too bad there's no app on the ipad for that!! BOO!
So, for the much needed update!!

Katie and Isaac are growing and smiling. Laughing and cooing, and only seem content when we are OUT OF THE HOUSE. Lord, it's frustrating on rainy days having Seth in the house as well as the two of them. They slept from about 1:30am lastnight until 7:30 this morning and let me tell you...it was good. REAL good. Bojangles sweet tea and french fries good. We had a rough start of the week after vaccines on Friday. Ugh, don't get me started. Having 2 babies cry for no reason and a toddler whine because that's what they do best is frustrating. Not to mention the stuck inside thing due to the rainy weather here. They have officially moved on to 3 month clothing. I think that's a pretty big (and sad) deal due to the fact that they are a little over 2 months old and twinsies. Katie weighed 10lbs 10 oz at her 2 month checkup and Isaac came in second place at 10lbs 3 oz. They have recently started interacting more with us and with their toys. They both LOVE their mobiles and laugh, coo, and smile at them both while in their swings and in the crib. We are crazy and have 2 mobiles on their shared crib, one for each end :)

I've got to run. I'm hoping to be able to carve out some set time soon to catch up more specifically. To let you know how I'M doing and how things are for ME.

Love to you all,
Kimmie

About Me

Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
