Momservation: <\/strong>If time is a thief then Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are its accomplices.<\/p>\n

\"Tasty\"<\/a>If I put as much thought into what we should have for dinner as I did my last Instagram post we would be having more than Sloppy Joe’s for dinner tonight. (Dang! Should’ve bought tater-tots to go with it. But after waffling between Lo-Fi and Juno for at least 10 minutes I did finally decide Ludwig was the perfect filter for my photo!)<\/p>\n

I’m not proud of this admission, but let’s face it\u2014by the amount of updates on my Facebook news feed, I’m in good company when it comes to wasting time on social media.<\/p>\n

Red light? Check Facebook. Standing in line? Check Instagram. Waiting for your email account to log in? Check Twitter. Should be doing something you don’t want to do? Check SnapChat.<\/p>\n

And therein lies my biggest problem (and most likely yours): Procrastination has a new BFF\u2014Social Media,\u00a0and that bitch can waste some time. I mean, really, why would I want to Spray-N-Wash the skid marks out of a dozen chonies when I could see if someone has posted an adorable video of a kitten sneezing instead? And who wants to write a 650 word article before deadline when you could be watching another so-easy-and-delicious-I’d-be-a-fool-not-to-make-it Tasty<\/a> video instead? (Apparently, not me. T-minus one hour now until deadline…)<\/p>\n

So if you’re like me (and by your latest FB post of what you had for lunch I’m going to go out on a limb and say you are) someone needs to take our phones away from us, close all our FB, Instagram, Twitter, and SnapChat Apps, and slap a social media Nicotine Patch on us before our houses continue to close in around us in heaps of countertop piles with closets threatening to burst forth and swallow our families whole. Oh, and we should probably pick up the kids from school too (which got out 5 minutes ago)…<\/p>\n
