or maybe I’m just grouchy. After all it is the last few days of the holidays and I could do with a break and the chance to get some real work done.
But anyway about Facebook, I created a page for the business (if you can call it that), but when I found out there were big differences between a business page and personal page in terms of navigating around etc, I made my personal page active again. In some ways I like FB, I can have more contact with people who I want to, but in other ways it’s driving me up the wall!!! All the constant sharing of quotes about good and bad people in their lives etc (just get over it peeps, move on), all the constant pics of kids every day, I know they are cute, but do we need to see the same kind of pics every day?? Save them for special times, or to celebrate something!! And it might only be me being bitchy, but posting a comment to a baby who can’t even read or understand, WTF?? I do wonder what the world is coming to. To top it all off you get added to groups you a) didn’t even know existed (and then spammed with notifications about it) and b) wouldn’t join anyway, Hello, anyone who actually knows me would know I’m on a budget!! That means not spending money just for the sake of it. I get it that people are just sharing the love, but I’m feeling a bit overloved at the moment. I can see why others find FB addictive, but I am trying not spend too much time on the net, as I could be better off getting stuff done at home. So, while I’m still there, if you know me, understand why I often don’t reply to posts (especially those chain mail type ones), but maybe give me a ring to chat some time, or send me an email, or better yet come for a cuppa 
So, what have a been doing when not on FB?
Making pillowcases and cushion covers to go with the Queen size quilt I need to finish….
Cam finally has a wiggly tooth, so I dug out a pattern that I had saved for this very moment and made him a Monster Tooth Pillow
We had a trip to the local Sallies and picked up some neat toys for just a few dollars. Cam has had lots of fun with the Knex.
I’ve been a bit slack and should have done some gardening, but I haven’t. I’m a fabric diet, but had to buy some today for a custom order 
At least I got only what I needed and no extra, but I still felt bad.
I went and had my nails painted today, they look fabulous (and was a real treat for me) and she said it should last about 3 weeks, then I got home and remembered that I can’t have any polish on when I go to hospital next Friday. Bugger!! felt like I wasted my hard-earned cash there. I have 4 different hospital appointments next week, talk about a high health user, pelvic scan, specialist visit, x-ray and lithotrispy. Wow.
Well that’s all I can think of now. If anyone of offended by my post, please remember I am only voicing my own opinion which in the end only matters to me. So do your own thing
Now you tell me, just after I uploaded about a dozen really cute photos of Kennedy and added you to 50 odd groups lol. Loving the crafting. Maybe I need to do more of that myself and step away from facebook (especially tonight).
Ha, you know I love your boy, and you don’t post pics every day. All is good !
You encouraged me to leave a few groups that were bothering me. Mostly parenting ones where ppl are far too serious about parenting – they should spend that time playing with their kids instead. Speaking of which, I better get off here
Pity about the nail polish – though we learnt in first aid that nails are a very easy place to check for circulation. Apply little pressure,nail should go pale and then colour returns to confirm that yes, your heart is still beating strongly. A friend had a med student flatmate and very bed cold and couldn’t work out why her nails hurt when she woke up. There was a little overly concerned nail squeezing going on.
Yes – FB is a bit overwhelming at times- I have a lot of things set to filter out from a lot of people…. but for keeping up on the day to day with my wide flung family and friends it has been invaluable. For the good reads, though – I still like the blogs!!!
I sooo agree about FB. I’m on it to see grand-kids pics but people must waste soooo much time!!! I have tight security and have screened out stuff (I hope) I love your blogs here though and so love the kid pics too!
