While I was feeling brave and ready. Facebook that is. That sounds really dramatic but it was such a addiction of mine. Wasting so much time on there reading and writing. Not like it was bad stuff just so time consuming. It felt weird, like I was breaking up with my 300 something friends. I didn't know how to do it without looking like I was just trying to get attention. I wanted to tell them about my blog so that they could see pictures of the new baby. But there was no way of doing that with out telling them I was leaving. So, I just left. I guess most of those people know how to get into contact with me. My reasons for leaving were mostly emotional and also just realizing the amount of time I spent on there every day. I don't live a real exciting life so it was entertainment for me! There wasn't any one person who made me leave just a personal decision that I needed to make. I have much more important things to focus on then facebook. I feel good about it, it's a new year we have many changes coming up and this is my last months with Camilla before she goes to school! Yikes..
Finishing up Christmas shopping and buying food for our 2 christmas dinners. This juggling two families has really got to me this year. I remember when I was pregnant with Camilla that I felt the same way. Just so much more emotional and wanting the holidays to be special and important. For me that means being with family who all gets along and loves to be with each other. Which is both sides of my family really. Ian's family is so different from ours that it is hard to feel like it's a true holiday. I'm sure with time things will get easier, but I am glad to be able to be with my parents and Grandma on Christmas Day.
Happy Holidays from our home to yours. Baby boy is kicking right along and everything is on schedule and we are both healthy!
Hoping for the best year yet, 2012!!! Where does the time go..
