Social Suckers

Social Media is My Soul Sucker

I’m pretty sure that social media and Facebook has triggered my ADD inside of me. I use to be always pretty focused. I never thought I had ADD. However, as I have gotten older and more stress I have a hard time focusing. Facebook doesn’t help.

I’ll start to shop for something, and then I see something else. Then I got to Facebook, and then I decide to look on Instagram. Then I try to Google the first thing I was looking for. Before you know it, I get back on Facebook and I forget to order Christmas!

It is two weeks till Christmas I still have my tree!
DON’T HAVE TIME!

I work late so late. Just enough time to put dinner on the table, and finally get the kids in the bath and bed. I try to hurry up for bedtime. “Miller time” with my hubs. I get out of my bath, I’m so tired, too tired. And lo and behold, the hubs is asleep! No “miller time.” Then the burst of energy at 10 o’clock at night comes. I have to see what everybody else is doing. Back on social media I go. I look at all their Christmas stuff. All the great ideas and how their house is beautiful. I can do that! And I think in my mind how I’d decorate my house. I still have pumpkins on my front porch.

I think I get this from for my mom. I’m pretty sure, 100%, she was born with ADD. Back in the 60s and 70s when she grew up it was not diagnosed. I don’t think they even knew what it was back then. They were just like oh that’s unruly child. But now I feel that her ADD is rubbing off on me.

I just wish I had her energy! I’m in seriously this lady has more energy than I do. Her inner five-year-old can just keep going and going. She will go and keep shopping and shopping and the rest of us are like geewhiz woman gives a break! And of course she has everything decorated for Christmas. Give her the mom of the year award, as well as a Grammy award. Me on the other hand just trying for a participation mom trophy. #KeepingMyKidsAlive.
