A New Addiction

I've been denying it for weeks. I keep trying to convince myself it's just a phase, this will pass. I swear that every long night I spend doing it is the last. But alas, it's time to admit to myself and everyone else that I have an addiction. I am addicted to Pinterest. Sad but true. I know. It's all because of you Missy and Jolynn, it's all because of you, lol.

When I'm not cooking, cleaning, or playing mommy I find myself on Pinterest looking for new and improved ways to cook, clean and be a mommy. I feel guilty if I make a meal that starts out of a box as I know there is an easier, cheaper, healthier version of it on Pinterest, just waiting to be found. Never again will I consider cutting construction paper "crafting with the kids". Now it's all about foam board, googly eyes and pipe cleaner. Damn you Pinterest, damn you!

Now everything must have a theme. I never had a "theme thing" before. I can't even get the girls room redecorated cause I can't decide on a theme. Once I have a theme I must allow myself ample time to research said theme on Pinterest. This is a lesson I keep learning the hard way. The minute I decide on a theme some smarter than me pinner pins something better or more creative. Then it's back to the drawing board.

I have also fallen victim to the simple, easy, quick activities that I find on Pinterest. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones with like 4 components and 2 steps. Then the next thing you know your 6 hours in trying to stick marshmallow peeps on a styrofoam ball. The same darn little peeps that insist on falling off and jumping ship from the time they are put on until you are done displaying them. I still can't get over the fact that once I didn't need the peeps to stick they stuck just fine. Ahhhh!!!!!

So to Pinterest- I both loathe and love you. I need you but you make me crazy. I look forward to the next time I get to see you but I worry what crazy ideas you will put in my head. You, Pinterest are my addiction. In fact I can't believe I've taken the time away from Pinterest to even write this blog, lol.
