Quit "liking" me!

It's been another busy week for me & my littlest side kick. We've recently joined swimming lessons. I have no clue what I was thinking when I signed up. Now I have to start shaving my legs again, I was so comfy and fury, man!

I thought it would be a great way to meet new moms and start having more play dates! (Mental note, new entry: "people I want to punch in the throat 2.0" moms who set up play dates) 

I've mentioned my love affair with Buy & Sell groups right? I frigging love it. Ended up *almost selling something to what seemed at the time a pretty sensible chick. We had a few mutual friends but the kind of mutual friends you don't really talk too & only have them on FB to creep. Or keep around to feel good about yourself. LMFAO. Oooh, as if I'm the only one! 

We ended up making some short mom talk about the tradeshow in town & the Duggard marathon that seemed to take over both our weekends. It was nice have someone to BS with on a Sunday afternoon while Skip napped. Then that evening was the end of our communications. I think a week or more went by then I started getting messages from her again "OMG that dress you posted is beautiful I wish I was smaller I would so buy it. Could be a mini you! Hehe" ahhh - wtf Buffalo Bill? Started liking every comment or question I would post. Really made me anxious & triple check my privacy settings.

I would like to give a shout out to Facebook for really screwing with us and sending read receipts now. Thank you, buttholes.

Then the day came,.. I got a friend request. Nope. * DECLINE * BLOCK * DELETE * FILE RESTRAINING ORDER *

I am all for making new friends. I love meeting new people and learning their stories actually. Just not when they come across as creepy as F & seem to online stalk me. 

Really hope Im not making any new moms nervous about meeting friends online. I mean, I totally understand how hard it is here in town to meet friends. Especially when you're a stay at home mom. There's just other ways of going about it. Maybe if there was a POF or match.com for mothers?

Ladies, we need rules for new mommy friend searching. 

DOs

★ I would think the biggest would be to actually get out - go to a program at The Hub, or Children's Centre. Something organized by a third party so you don't need to feel pressured to stay if you become overwhelmed and want to leave. Oh hey, start swimming lessons ;) 

★ Join a mommy interest page! So much more fun to be surrounded by like minded momma. There are a lot of local FB groups & pages in town. It's actually surprising how many pages FMM has if you actually searched. Join a page or group, share stories. At the very least you'll have someone to chat with online during the day while you should be cleaning while your tyrant sleeps. 

DON'Ts

★ It's bound to happen, so try to avoid at all cos. Mompetition" ever see those Kristen Wigg sketchs from SNL? Same idea, avoid being Penelope!! Do not join in on the competition.

★ ★ ★ Lastly, don't gossip. It just makes for bad vibes. Unless it's about Kim Kardashian or the latest TMZ breaking news, keep it to yourself sweetie.  

So, like send me a friend request and we'll set up a play date ;) 

Vomit * I'm becoming one of those moms.
