social media to my rescue!

I have had a blog site for over a week now with the intentions of writing something fun and interesting about my life as a mommy. Although plenty of interesting things have happened I find that late in the afternoon on a Thursday writing my first blog. I am the mother of 3 wonderful boys. All currently under the age of 2. Since I have been pregnant, breastfeeding, or post paradigm for the past 3 years now I find a lot of my friends and people I come in contact with ask me for advise or the age old question "how do you do it?" Here I am now opening up my world to you. The tears, the joys, and the occasional spit up on the sleeve, oh hello there I forgot you were so tenderly perched upon my shoulder. It's okay I'll get that later, or maybe hang it back up in my closet forgetting you were there only to pull you out again and smell the wonderful aroma of your curdled mess. Oh the joy of the sweet newborn.

As I reflect on my morning I wonder how many mommies out there were faced with my dilemma. As my babysitter called me at the wonderfully appropriate time of 7:00 AM! "Hello, I'm sorry I know you have to be to work in a few short hours but, well...I won't be able to watch your children this morning, well, you see, I am going out of town. I hope I am not an inconvenience to you seeing as I am your only babysitter." My response you ask? "Oh no it's alright please don't worry about it, I'm sure I can find someone on VERY short notice, and thank you again have a wonderful weekend! bye bye." and in my head "Are you kidding me! Now! You mean right before I need to be at work! Really! NOW?"

So what do I do? Resort to the powers of facebook. What a wonderful thing to post in the morning: Babysitter needed now. Only serious comments may apply. Thank you. Although I'm sure it's a nice change from the normal morning post that go on in the current news feed. ie: I just walked my dog or my head hurts, or my favorite, picture of my breakfast. Okay okay I'm guilty of all.

After all the trouble and the major freak out session facebook pulled through!Thank you social media! One lonely friend that has nothing better to do than hang out with my toddlers, thank God!

I'm thinking after today's episode there might be some money in starting a facebook page for emergency babysitting services. Alright people, you heard it here if you jump on my idea at least give me the credit for giving it to you.

Thanks for listening, hopefully with a little feedback my blogs will get better. Believe me I have plenty to say!
