One-liners & memorable quotes

I feel like we capture life in Twitter spans now. I actually look for those awesome "what kids say" moments and immediately post them to Facebook. My child is 2.5 and is currently amazing at one-liners! Here's a sample from just this past week:

• "Mommy, you're old. I need a new mommy."
• Me: "Reilly, are you a monkey?" Reilly: "I not a monkey. Monkeys don't talk."
• "I a big boy toddler big flashlight guy."
• Me: " [something something]... your father." Reilly: "That's not my father. That's my Daddy. His name is Jeff." Me: "What's my name?" Reilly: "Um... I don't know. You don't have a name."
• Me: "How'd you get so cute?" Reilly: "Daddy." Me: "How'd you get so smart? (say mommy!)" Reilly: "No! Daddy!" Me: "Well what did I do?" Reilly: "You make me dinner."

Then there's this note that came home with him from daycare yesterday:

Ahhhhh, the moments we live for!!

Why social media scares me

I long to be this amazing goddess of social media and events. A maven, if you will. A guru. One who can write a book and not market it and people will flock to Amazon to buy it based on my name alone.

But then I read this post on Social Media Today about this blogger's schedule. She starts her morning at 7am with an hour of blog work. She then goes to her real job, and checks back in for 15 mins around 10am. Then spends her whole lunch time working on blog and Twitter stuff. Then another 15 mins at her break at 2. And then evenings from 7-8:30 blogging, consulting, etc.

So obviously, she is single. Or at least doesn't have kids. And she didn't even mention her Facebook account!

This makes me sad... how will I ever find the time to truly be amazing if I have to go on having a family? That settles it. I will have to give up having a family. Somebody notify my husband and child, while I sneak out in the middle of the night tonight! Hmm... but should I take the dogs with me or leave them here?

Yeah, that just won't work. Guess I'll have to go on being average. Have a job and two blogs that only get posted to a couple of times a week. I guess I can settle for not being famous... for now.
