Archive for Friendship

As I get older I find myself with less friends.  Each year I weed out a few more…each year I get a bit more happy! My family life is better and things are just great!

It’s hard to find those few. The few that are your real friends. Your friend through thick and thin.  The friends that give a crap about you and your family and what happens to y’all.  They are not jealous, condescending, gossipy or trying to use you to climb some social ladder.

When I got sick I noticed a lot of my friends were just assholes. Yes…assholes. They didn’t care.  They only cared about themselves and couldn’t be bothered to just check up on us.  Not even just to check up on me, but my family!

Your “friends” can really affect your well-being. You really need to rid yourself of all the unhealthy relationships in your life.  If they make you unhappy get rid of them!  You may be surprised at how good this can be for your well being!

I had to weed out a few more people today and may even clean out a few more before the night is over.

Yes I am a SAHM/WAHM mom, but I am not just sitting here on my ass cruisin’ social media sites.  I’m actually working when I get the chance.  It takes me a lot longer to complete a simple task because unlike people that work outside the home, I am still here with my children.  There are no breaks, no vacations, no peace and quiet. So yea, it may take me 30 min to complete a post that would take an uninterrupted person 10 min.  Graphics may get started and then put on hold until after lunch is made, diapers are changed and cuddling.

I try to be on top of it all, but you know what?  I am human.  I am one person trying to do a crap load of stuff.  I can not do it all, but I sure as hell try. I certainly can not keep up with bulletins and status’.  Sorry.  Maybe I’m just that lame…

~still kickin’ it old school…want my digits?

How about you?  What do you think social media has done to oldschool communication?
