- Social networking drama
- New house progress
- A love life to die for!
- How to spend 5k in 10 minutes!
All of the above "interesting points" don't seem all that interesting but I assure you they kept me entertained all day! As we all know social networking is definitely a great place to start a debate. You can speak without thinking and not be concerned that the person is going to punch you in the face.
In May last year I joined a Facebook mothers group, being so far away from family etc it was a great resource. We all awaited our babies arrival and celebrated when they finally came! We all went through the sleepless nights, the colic, the worry, we gave each other advice on medicines, swaddles, methods of soothing. It was really an excellent resource. I managed to meet up with a couple of the mums while in Brisbane and it was nice to put a face to their online profile. Things change- Not sure why but they do.
I liked to use the group to complain about issues I was having with DH, something in hindsight I regret. But considering I have no friends or family up here it was my only method of venting. I got some positive and negative views on the situation and a few that hit a bit too hard so I decided to leave the group and just move on. During the night I was pm'd a few times with people being concerned and also some asking about if I left because of a certain post which had been posted after I had left. I'm not sure exactly what was said but as far as I know it was them considering it rude that we don't consider them when we vent.
Normally if there is an argument on the group, we apologise and move on but this one snowballed.
It has no gotten to the point where people are being excluded, and talked about behind their backs. Some of the mothers in the group are really hurting over the comments made (myself included).
I decided to just give up on the issue and add myself back to the group as the person who made the comments to me in the first place apologised and we sorted it out. When you try to rejoin a group it has to be approved by admin.... 24 hours ago. Honestly i'm angry, upset and feeling betrayed and then I have to sit back and remember it's just Facebook. I shared everything with that group of girls and now it just feels like that support network is gone. ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!
Our house! We went to visit the house today *yeee* And the roller door in on and the kitchen is in but still no floor (tiles or carpet) no drive way or patio and no paint! So much to do in so little time!
We are meant to move in on the 25th of March and hoping that, that is the definite move in date. The removalist is booked and we've given our intention to leave forms for our current house :)
Love life!! I assumed that when I had a baby I would have no real interest in DTD ever again, little did I realise that my real issue would be never having enough time! Dh and I don't get much opportunity to get all loved up. Noah is very full on, especially at night and by the time he is asleep and the dishes are done we are both ready to pass out. A cuddle and we are both fast asleep. Noah has really good sleeps at night usually 8-2 4-7 :) It's much better although I wish he wasn't so awake between 2am and 4am *exhausting* I'm hoping that as Noah gets older, Andrew and I are able to spend more time together as a couple.
We were very excited to go shopping today to order our new furniture!! Didn't realise how quickly we would come to a decision though! We ended up getting a really nice dark timber bedroom suite, 7pce dining table, two couches (2seat&3seat) and an entertainment unit! They are so nice and we are crazy excited to get them in the house and set up! We are also going to get a rug and a coffee table but need to save up our $$ for it! I love furniture shopping! It's the best and definitely after such a crap night!
Anyways! I know this is a very random post - Normally by now i'd have 15 Facebook statuses to vent :)
Love to you all xx
