So here I sit on a day that marks 3 weeks without Social Networking. Remembering how obsessed I was last year with the countdown to be able to use social networking again. Comparing last year to this year. I thought I was able to keep myself busy last year and consistently having moments where I know I would update on social networking, whether it be Facebook or Twitter. Of course this year there is Pinterest to add into the mix. Thank goodness I never really finished setting that one up. I know there are lots of people that love that website but I haven't gotten into it as much. As a matter of fact I never did anything with my account since I set it up a couple months ago. While I still have moments that I would want to update I am not missing it as much. I guess the thing I miss the most is reading through my timelines and seeing what other people have to say. Yesterday at work we had some seriously funny moments but at the same time I wasn't thinking to myself how I wish I could update my statuses. I have way to much going on in my real life to worry about the social networking side of me. The stresses of everyday life. I have become more accustomed to just dealing with it the old fashioned way vs. the social networking way. From work to cheer to family life I definitely have my hands full. I'm not sure that I would be updating a lot on my social networking accounts anyway. It's funny how life evolves and you can look back and think "WOW!"
Just my thoughts for the morning.

Tough Times without Social Networking
As you can see, I decided against the daily journal of my day from social networking. I have been wanting to sit down and write but my life has said otherwise.
This time has been very tough for me this year. Not because I can't check my Facebook account 100 times a day or because I can't read through my Twitter timeline every 15 minutes, but because life has truly thrown some obstacles in my direction and those are my easiest outlets. Instead I am having to remember what life was like before the internet, smart phones, etc. Whether it be a disturbing call from Afghanistan, child problems or just a rough day, I have to learn to deal with this like a real human being and either keep it to myself or actually talk to someone using my voice.
This morning I was told how I have missed out on so much because I haven't logged into Facebook. What a great reminder of how much we let people into our lives through the internet. Another friend mentioned to me a few weeks ago how much easier it is to just update a status on Facebook to let people know things than to actually make phone calls because she felt she didn't have the time to sit down and actually talk to people.
I will update more at a later time, perhaps when this gut wrenching feeling in my stomach goes away.
