Breaking up (with Facebook) is...hard to do!!

Who would have thought that deactivating my Facebook page would be such a big deal? To those of you who enjoy reading about other people's lives as much I do - I'm sure you'll understand. I really don't think it's because I'm a busybody or I'm nosey...I just think it's fascinating to be able to know what is going on in someone's head and know what their day-to-day activities are.

It makes me sad that I won't be able to see pictures of their kids and/or see the updates of what is going on in their lives. I am quitting Facebook for a variety of reasons. My main one is that I need to focus on homeschooling the kids more. I find myself just itching to see who is doing what at any given moment. Not a good thing when in the middle of a math lesson. So, along with some other factors, I decided that this was as good a time as any. But it still doesn't help with the hurt I'm feeling over "losing" my friends. It is truly like breaking up.

As I was sending out messages letting my FB friends know that I was deactivating my account I actually got teary-eyed thinking I was probably going to lose touch with many of them.

Hopefully I will learn of many more blogs so that I can follow my friend's lives.

I'm hoping to get Christmas letters out in the next few days...better get to it now that I have more "free" time! :)
