Facebook

The whole Internet social networking thing is wonderful. I am self confessed addict. I love my facebook account and the fact that I have reconnected with so many people from "way back." I love to come home after a stressful day at work and log in and see what is going on with all of my facebook friends. This week I have died laughing at the pictures from high school that were posted, what were we thinking wearing that?? Needless to say, I love my Facebook. Baylee has been relentless about having a facebook account for months. I finally gave this past week and set it up for her, with strict rules! I watch the creepy Dateline shows about men preying on young girls. Therefore, Baylee has the highest privacy available on facebook. The rule is that I have to have her password at all times or the account is deleted. She agreed and the account was created. Within 24hours, Baylee had about 25 friends. She LOVED it! Well, Friday night Baylee went to a slumber party. I just couldn't resist getting in her account and being silly...headlining that her Mom was the "coolest Mom ever." Thanks to Amy...she reminded that I was acting like my mother use to with me. I could have died of embarrassment back in those days. I don't want Baylee to be embarrassed by me....I'm the cool mom, right? I am a young hip Mom that has a Facebook like my daughter. Not like my mother who gets frustrated even turning on the computer, much less navigating herself around the Internet. The generation gap is not that big between Baylee and myself, right? Well, to the point of this blog entry. I was drinking my yummy pumpkin spice coffee this morning snuggled up with my hubby and looking at my facebook, I noticed I had a friend request. Then I nearly choked to death on my coffee...my friend request was from.....MY MOTHER!! OMG! (That is O My Goodness(sort of), mom!) What is the world coming to?? God help us all...I now know what Baylee feels like!
