I was inspired this morning to write an "Other People Are The Worst" entry. Then, I saw something on Facebook that said something inspirational like everyone is in your life for a reason. Ok. That inspired me to pause and eat lunch. I went to Facebook and there she was again bragging about what a great mother she is.
You know what I was inspired to do?
Hide her.
I haven't seen her since the summer of 1996. We weren't even "friends" then, and I don't know why we connected on Facebook. I did save her contact information because she has inspired me to create a new social media outlet: Motherbook - the community for overworked, stressed out mothers who "have no time" except "plenty of time" to stay online all day to brag about bedazzled britches, hoola-hoop sized hairbows, and whatever else they crafted for the emotional beginning, middle and end of school.
OMG - that first Facebook post was right! She just gave me a brilliant idea. And now my Facebook feed is a little lighter. Win win.
