the day i talked about deleting facebook and gluten

i'm feeling pretty deep today. i'm a real thinker. 

it seems ridiculous to be that person who talks about deleting their facebook...because you know it's never gonna happen. 

but i'm talkin about it. yes i am. 

lately, the reason is sheer boredom combined with irritation over ignorant and un-researched political posts, and the fact that it's a total time and attention suck. i spend more time getting annoyed by things people post than being entertained. and seriously, what's more entertaining than my family? i could be paying attention to them instead of life-bragging (and life-stalking, if i'm being honest) on facebook all the time.

ps. ben has slapped the keyboard like 5 times since i've started writing. finally, i snapped to life and realized what was going on. do you ever do that? unintentionally permit a bad behavior because you're not paying attention? maybe it happens when you're on facebook....! 

so. i'm not claiming that i'm deleting my facebook. i'm just thinking and talking about it. i don't want to be dramatic about it. i just wanna consider it and if i decide to give it the axe, just do it quietly. the cool way. see, even deleting facebook is about being cool. ugh-noyying. 

part two of this is me talking about going gluten free. i've been doing a lot of research lately, and everything i read is telling me that we need to stop eating it. i can say we because my husband and i have the same exact issues, and i think our little doot doot may be lucky as well. 

it seems like SUCH a big PITA. 
pita stands for pain in the ass. 
just in case you were wondering. 

but it does. however, if we really are sensitive to it, then the benefits of removing it from our diets will SO be worth it. i'm in the "what the eff would we eat?" stage right now. i guess i'll start planning an actual grocery list and check out some foods so that i can get an idea of what the reality would be like. my MIL recently started eating gluten free, and she is all about it. she's also like super healthy...she has more energy than me and she's like 3 times my age (kidding Debbie, kidding). 

i am also secretly hoping that it'll help with weight loss. 
i'm currently quite the beast. to the point where i'm like, ugh, daylight?
maybe combining weight watchers (which i'm on) with eating gluten free will produce magical results. 

we shall see. that's all for today folks. the whole two folks who read this blog ;)

I have thought a lot about both of these things recently too, weird huh? Facebook can be quite annoying and really not uplifting, what a waste of time! I went gluten free for a little while years ago and felt GREAT but, it's so much energy and work to do it with a family... maybe someday! :)

A lot of us Moms are probably thinking the same things...we're like, one, why is everyone farting so dang much? And two, how come the laundry isn't done? Oh...gluten and facebook, that's why.
