No tweat here...

I was cleaning out my car the other day when I found a recent receipt for a return I made at Dillard's. I scanned it over and at the bottom, where they shamelessly add a promo code and website for your input, it reads, "Follow us on Twitter." My first thought is, "really?" Which immediately jumps to, "What could Dillard's be posting all day that you must "follow" them to see." They have radio ads, mailers, newspaper ads...why do they need a social media such as Twitter? But since finding this receipt, I have noticed how many others want to be followed on Twitter or Facebook as well. I have the hardest time knowing that my only shower during the week that I might be able to take alone will be the one on Sunday morning which is done in 3 minutes (this includes washing my hair! I know, it's an art.) to get ready for church. Don usually can entertain Sophia during this time and help move Heather along so that we can make it out the door on time. When I want to go to the bathroom, there is usually someone in there with me for that too. Oh, grocery store trips? Yep, you guessed it. Not alone for that either. My point is that while so many others are asking to be "followed," I'm just asking for some alone time! I'm literally asking NOT to be followed!
I don't mean to sound like a mean Mommy, ungrateful for my kids. I LOVE my kids. I ADORE my kids. I want to be around them forever. Luckily, they are still young enough (sort of) that they want to be around me too. So I guess I need to be thankful that I AM followed...without having to tweat!
