What I'm thinking about this morning...

Update Saturday Morning: so I decided to simple "hide" the status updates from the kids whose updates are causing me angst, for a while. The statements and updates they are making are not the problem, really. It's that there are a myriad of statements that young adult children make every day....statements that aren't necessarily bad things...but things that Mom (me) wouldn't normally know about...until Facebook. So for now, I'm making the choice to not read and know about those things. Because I worry....

I've been in a bit of a funk lately...not really sure why...

So anyway, I was walking to work this morning and thinking about a lot of things. One of the thoughts that is rolling around in my brain this morning is that maybe I should just cancel my Facebook account. I'm not sure what the answer is....but I'm also not sure I really want to see and hear so much of what my kids are doing..you know? I don't necessarily need to know when one of them is thinking of buying a gun, or driving a hundred miles an hour, or see the "wink, wink...thanks for a great date night comments"...or my personal favorite from one of the girlfriends...."I see (our moms) watching us and judging us"...tongue in cheek, I'm sure, but rather stinging none the less in light of how much I am having to deal with the huge red flags that are going off in my brain over the whole thing...

So yeah, maybe I am beginning to agree with my own mom in wondering if being on Facebook really is such a fun thing....
