I support fakebooking

I always see a lot of posts on facebook complaining about people not sharing their "real" life...you know, people only posting happy things. I don't get it or why people care. I mean, if you ask me, they are not only sparing you from their depressing situations, but I also think they're spreading positivity. I support fakebooking...some may even say I participate in it.
Yes, I post a ton of pictures. Happy pictures. Fun pictures. I do this because our family and friends are all very far away. Some love it, some pretend I don't exist....I'm cool with it either way.

Anyway, if I made posts of my every day real life, you'd all rush to start a GoFundMe account and send me on some much needed vacation. And I just can't be comfortable with that. But, if you insist, Link can be found here.

If you really clicked that....God bless you for wanting to help a mother out.haha! I'm just kidding....I know we're all going through this thing called life.

Alright. So, let's say I decided to post every day real life on facebook. I'll make today my example.

FB entry #1   3:18am- My husband had to be in work at 3:30 am, and because it sounds like a herd of buffalo are stampeding through our bedroom, I am also awake. So, I will toss, turn, and look on social media for a good hour and a half now. Thank you, husband.

FB entry #2   6:58am- My children are up and crafting...not coloring like a normal child may craft, but actually having me iron on appliques and then they are painting the shirts. Doesn't that sound enjoyable and sweet? Maybe it would be if it were 10am and I had a chance to make just one cup of coffee before this ordeal. But, I was stupid...I promised in the morning, this is the morning to them. It's really not pretty, there's a lot of blank staring at these creatures and grunting instead of forming actual words on my part. I would have a picture of this delightful ordeal to share, but I'll get to that in after a few more entries.

FB entry #3   8am- I finally make my cup of coffee....and I watch it get cold on the counter because the baby is now up and requires breakfast immediately after his eyes are open. But, that's ok...I'm pretty pumped because it's Body Combat morning and at 10:20, I'm going to get my sweat on.

FB entry #4   8:30am- A lovely woman from the gym calls to tell me Body Combat is cancelled... "NooOOooOO....oh, I'm sorry, I'm not upset with you. I just really needed this today. I mean, I guess I could try to make it to Step at 9:15, but I'm probably setting myself up to fail with 3 kids to get ready. Or I could go to Body Combat tonight at 7, but my husband was in at 3:30 this morning, so I don't think he'll go for that. Oh, sorry for holding you up, I know you have other people to call."
Yep.

FB entry #5   9:30am- Remember when I was bragging about Christopher's amazing arm yesterday? While I'm in the bath, we always play catch...it's really adorable. ((Side note: when all the kids are up, a bath is easier because I don't have everyone climbing in a shower stall with me. They respect the bath wall between us.)) Anyway, we were playing catch as I'm bathing. I start washing my face and he really must have thrown it hard because the splash was bigger than usual...then it vibrated. What?! Looking through face wash, I realized that vibration was my IPhone saying 'goodbye, sweet friend'. "WHYYYY????!!!!" I cried out to the IPhone gods.... Then Christopher started to cry, not over the situation, but because I wouldn't throw it back.

FB entry #6   10am-  I'm feeling a little sorry for myself. That is all.

FB entry #7   11am- I'm putting on my big girl panties and taking all of the kids to the AT&T store. This is fine. It will be boring for them, but a little promise of Chik Fil A after will possibly keep them in line. In line....that's where we waiting for 25 minutes before the guy told me I had to call AT&T customer service. You know, on my broken phone.

FB entry #8   1pm- I'm going to eat my feelings and this Happy Cinco de Mayo bean burrito will make me feel better. Please send margaritas. Thank you.

Had enough? Aren't happy pictures better? That's what I thought. Like I said, I support fakebooking.

"Call me crazy, but I love to see people happy and succeeding. Life is a journey, not a competition"
