Have You Ever?

Ever felt like this?
Have strange things happened?
Are you going round the twist?

Hahahaha. I didn't mean to go there, but sometimes it just happens when I think 'have you ever'. 90s Aussie kid life, I suppose.

So anyway, I've imposed a Facebook ban on myself. Today is day one so it hasn't really been too difficult, as yet. Feels weird to not see the pretty blue app on my phone's homescreen though. Nor to constantly receive Facebook notifications. I like it!

I'm hoping to reacquaint myself with the real world. Not that I'm not a part of it WITH Facebook; I just find myself checking Facebook on my phone when I could be embracing the sunshine at the park, or talking to mums whilst I wait to pick Spawn up from school. The little things. I miss those. I often wonder what life will be like for Spawn in the future; the way technology is going at the moment makes me wonder if everyone will live dormant in little pods, a la Matrix style. Sad thoughts, sad thoughts indeed.

So I'm going to show Spawn that I don't need my phone permanently attached to my hand. I don't want him growing up wondering if I somehow have the phone attached to my anatomy. I REFUSE TO BE THAT MUM.

Here I am. Hahahah. It's starting to get hard. For those of you who don't know, I have a couple of really awesome support groups on Facebook. Groups that help me maintain sanity when I feel all is lost in this world. Groups that make me realise I'm not alone when I wonder how I'm going to continue raising Spawn for the next 12+ years. Lord help me, that IS a scary thought. Spawn will be 18 in 12 years!!! YIKES!

I haven't lost my sanity yet. Sundays are a chill day here, so Spawn and I have been chilling. I'm just on here looking for recipes for school lunch snacks so we can spend the afternoon in the kitchen. Well, I will. Spawn will come and go as he pleases, in true male fashion. ;)

Peace out.
