Back Seat

OK, so I don't mean to let things slide...I have been burning both ends of the candle, and sometimes the middle for so long that I think that I have reached the nub. With school and work, and lets not forget Doodles because there are times when I think I do more often then I should, social media has taken a backseat. Like the 4th seat in the minivan. The last two weekends I have come home and crashed. More like crashed and burned. I slept ALL day Friday and then yesterday was spent catching up on work and schoolwork that I should have done Friday. I slept through church today, Father forgive me.

So, it is catching up to me....but that will just be out little secret. k???? Something in my life has to give and it is the social media, which means my outlet on my feelings. At least for now. I am ending my therapy sessions tomorrow.....I just don't have time or the energy to put into EVERYTHING I am trying to do right now. I'll be back - and I will try and keep up with all my bloggy friends when I can!!!!

Social Media Experiement - the results are in...

So, my social media experiment went ok....not totally successful, but not a complete failure either. I only logged onto my facebook page at lunch, after bed or when the child dissed me. And, I was not on twitter AT ALL! So, all in all my social media time was less than an hour all weekend.

Doodles and I spent time playing games, chilling out watching a movie together...just being together.

I talked to my mom on the phone and one of my friends...so total human contact (outside of Doodles) of about 15/20 minutes. (Unless we count listening at church then I get 2 more hours of credit...I think I should take it, I did say hi to someone - points!)

It is hard to take a step back when in this day and age Facebook and/or Twitter have become such a key way families and friends keep in touch. I often joke with my sister that if it wasn't for those 140 character status updates she would never hear from me...and thank goodness for the "Like" button. I mean, really, thanks FB for making it even easier for me to stay connected without saying anything. For people like me, those that want to keep others at an arms length, facebook is awesome!!!! No one can say I am out of touch because I make sure I put a status of some sort, and I ensure that I like or comment on others statuses every now and again. Yep, I am in touch, just in touch my way :)

I do hope that you all had a great weekend filled with many new memories!!!!

Social Media - Good yet not

Twitter, Facebook, Blogs...I appreciate social media because it allows me to say yes I am connecting without really having those connections that I see as invasive and give me panic attacks. BUT, in the last little while I have come to the realization that human contact is missing...I go into a nosedive and think only of myself because I do not allow enough human interaction. Sometimes a phone call is better than an email. Hearing a person's voice means something, you get more out of it.

I need to take a little break from all of the forms of social media that I have come to depend on and interact...I know myself so next week you will all probably hear about my failures, but I need to try.

love ya'll bunches!!!
