An End and A Beginning

I've decided to switch from a facebook page to a blog for mostly 2 reasons.  But before I really get into it let me give a little preface.  First I want to give a warning...I'm not an excellent writer!  I try to make things interesting but generally won't have the time to spend hours doing rough drafts.  So, if there are grammatical or spelling errors or something could have been worded better, please forgive me because I have a crazy jumping bean monkey to keep an eye on and soon (only 8 1/2 wks. left!!) will also have an infant to try to protect from her adoring--yet slightly over zealous and frequently too rough--big sister.

My other bit of preface is to say that I have the sweetest, most considerate, forgiving and patient husband that I'm pretty sure there has ever been.  He's the kind of husband who reminds me that I'm pregnant AND chasing a monkey when I'm feeling low because the house is still a mess and I forgot AGAIN to take the frozen meat out for dinner.  He always calls before leaving from work to find out if I need or want him to pick up anything on his way home.  And asks if it's ok if he even uses a dollar from our account to buy a soda.  Anyway, so to sum it up, when he does say that something is bothering him I know that it's definitely bothering him and needs my full attention until it's remedied. 

Having said all that, I get to the reasons for switching from a social networking site to a blog.  The first being that for some reason when I get on my facebook I'm completely distracted and not being a good supervisor.  I also have found (I cringe to call it an addiction...) that I'm nearly completely obsessed with reading everyone's status'.  And I do mean pretty much everyone!  I also spend way more time than I think playing the games.  I can loose literally hours playing Bejeweled.  And it's in one minute increments!!  And whenever I post something I spend large portions of my time thinking about it and what people comment on it.  Totally dumb, I KNOW! 

The second reason being that my sweet and ever patient husband has expressed exasperation frequently about the amount of time I spend on the computer (i.e. Facebook).  So, to remove the temptation from myself and to show my husband I love him more, I'm canceling my Facebook profile and starting this blog.  Hopefully I will be able to be "connected" to my friends and family and satisfy at least some of my social needs here.  Thanks for reading!  And I always welcome comments!
