Ok...have to vent. Started to do this on FB and then you know...I don't want to be one of those people. So buyer beware...I am about to vent. (Most of this is in response to the FB crap I read.)
1. I realize being a mom is hard work. Duh. Thank you Captain Obvious.
2. I realize being a stay at home mom is not as glorious as I make it out to be in my mind. But STFU because you get to be a stay at home mom.
3. Do NOT complain about being pregnant. Seriously? 2 months ago you almost had a freaking meltdown because you thought you were pregnant but instead got your period so you decided to drown your sorrows in a bottle of wine. You will NOT get any sympathy from me if you complain about being pregnant.
4. Don't complain about your pants not fitting b/c you are pregnant. Hello...go buy some maternity clothes.
5. If you have to constantly post about how much you love your husband/how awesome your husband is/how much you miss your husband/etc...some people might interpret it to mean that you and your awesome husband are having issues.
6. Do NOT use inappropriate language in your status. If I want to read that mess I would look on the back of a bathroom stall.
7. No...I don't want to buy any Mary Kay.
8. Correct grammar goes a LONG way.
9. I don't need the play by play of every.single.thing.you.do...every.single.day.
10. It is FACE book...not VAGUE book. Please don't expect me to ask why you are upset, what is wrong, why you are mad, etc.
11. I am not friends with you on FB so that you can push your political agenda. I am an informed voter and trust me...I do not get my info from your FB status.
I'm sure this list could go on forever. Don't get me wrong. I love FB. I just don't love it all the time. I'm sure I annoy people too...but hey...this is my blog so deal with it.
(Eventually I will get around to updating this blog with really cute baby stuff. Eventually.)

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Yes, Annelle, I pray! Well, I do! There, I said it, I hope you're satisfied.

Love this post!!!!! I couldn't agree more on all counts! :)
Love this post!!!! However, I also hope I am not one of those that you are talking about. (literally going through my head trying to make sure I haven't done some of that). I agree with everything you said though.
Preach it sister! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Might I also add that if you have a private message for one of your facebook friends, you are free to utilize the "send private message" option so that the rest of us don't have to read your private thoughts. i.e. "happy anniversary to my beautiful wife, you are the love of my life." Whatever happened to giving your wife a private card on your anniversary??
Amen!!!!!!!!!
#7 and #8 are perfect :)
All soooo true!
I completely agree! These are my pet peeves as well. I would add another one though...Don't complain about work all the time. A.) It's not good to post things about work because people get fired for that mess and B.) If you hate your job that much...quit.
Amy - I wasn't going to comment on this post, but I've been sick to my stomach all morning since I read it. Yes, I realize how incredibly fortunate I am to be a stay-at-home mom, but that certainly doesn't come without great sacrifice on the part of myself and my family. There are so many things that I will never be able to buy or do for my children that you will be able to, but that is the decision that we made for our family. You are wrong - being a stay-at-home mom IS glorious, but do you really think that means that all of my days are filled with sunshine and smiles? That my 2-year-old doesn't have severe meltdowns because I don't let her watch Dora all day, and my newborn doesn't scream her head off all day long because of the diaper rash I can't seem to get rid of? I know that I don't have to get up and dressed and out the door in the morning, and I don't have to leave my babies to work outside of my home all day, but that doesn't mean that my days are any easier or more "glorious" than yours are.
I'm really sad that you come to the simple conclusion of "STFU because you get to be a stay-at-home mom." Everyone has their trials, and I would never belittle yours simply because they are different from mine.
I'm looking forward to an update and pictures of those precious babies soon.

You are so funny Amy. I sometimes think about the stuff I post on FB and think...wow the only time I post is when I am peeved about something. So, then I don't post at all. Ah well. I think we must have a lot of FB friends in common. ;)
Hopefully I'm not one of the people you're talking about....but, may I add tagging yourself in photos you aren't in! My half-sister-in-law (whom I've never met or spoken to by the way) keeps tagging herself AND her friends in pictures of MY babies. And she refers to them as her babies. What the hell!? Now I don't know if I should remove the tags.
I'm glad I wasn't on FB before we had the babies, that would be way too hard.
LOL I love it!! My favorite is my neice who is 18 and has a baby 2 weeks younger than mine who insists on airing her dirty laundry about how immature her baby daddy it and how all men are worthless daddies!! I could pull my hair out. I just wanna shout 'and you wonder why people think you guys weren't ready to have a baby'
Can't wait to see new pics of the babies!
You could always just stop facebooking. I find it all to be much ado about nothing. I think it causes folks to stop interacting in person. Such a loss.
