Reflection of a Middle-Aged Mother: Facebook

Facebook

It's been a really long time since I have added anything to my blog. I have to admit, I have become a Facebook Junkie. Yes.....My name is Terri and I am a Facebook addict.
I can't help myself...I am on several times a day just to see if any of my friends are on. I have come across people I haven't talked to in 20+ years. I have talked to cousins, long lost friends and yes....old boyfriends. Weird. It's totally fun just to see what is going on with people in their daily lives.
I know I need to keep up with my blog, but frankly things don't change a lot in my life in order to keep a constant running dialogue.
My kids are on there so I get to see what their thoughts are for the day. What a better way to keep up on all the goings on in their lives?
So, I guess if any of you feel I need an Intervention you can feel free to get a hold of Ken Seeley, and I will meet you at the hotel. I will look forward to hearing all the wonderful things all of you have to say to me about my life before Facebook.
Oh Yeah! Did I mention I have a bit of an addiction to the show Intervention?

Kids Say The Darndest Things

BRADY - "I'm kinda glad Tyler still remembers how to speak American." 10-10-11
On our way to Vegas we stopped and had lunch with Brooke because Syd insisted. She said, "Mom I need a serious dose of sarcasm right now."
Syd was talking about a date her friends were setting her up on. Brady was sitting with us and he says, " I don't know why you would want to go on a date with a blind guy." We both looked at each other and started laughing. We realized when she talked about a "blind date" he thought we literally meant he was blind.
I have a friend named Brooke. My girls adore her. She is funny, witty, and as sarcastic as they come. Sydney said to me the other day. "Mom, I need a Brooke of my own. I hope that when I get older I will find me a Brooke."
So Brady was having a conversation with his friend on the way home from school and he says, "do you know what an exchange student is"? Gage says, "No". Well it's like when your brother goes to college or something and you get someone from another country to come live at your house".
Brady and Andrew were driving down the road and he says to Drew, "It would be fun to be a fireman because you could bring marshmallows and chocolate and stuff and for the first minute you could make smores and then you could put out the fire."
We are on our way to lunch on the last day of school and Landon says, "we all got award's today". I reply, "oh really, what did you get one for?" So he preceeds for read it to me. "The ornery award for critical thinker. I start to laugh and say, oh boy Mrs. Shenton sure knows you if she gave you the ornery award." Then I look at the paper and it says, honarary award for most "critical thinker". I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.
We were discussing a family in the ward that blessed their baby today, and we were saying that the baby had a name that all three names ended in "un" sound. I told the kids I tried really hard not to give them names that all three had the same ending. Such as...Conner Ryder Porter. Brady then says, "I'm going to try real hard not to name my kids nu, nu, nun.
