Random and a Rant

Life is moving along just swimmingly.  Nothing really new or different.  My baby is such a good baby that it is making me nervous for things to come.  He is just a dream.  I have got to be in for it in the future. 
I recently made a new friend in my mom's group.  A really, truly, genuine good friend.  We just click.  There is no drama and it is not work.  The reason I say this is that some of my old friends are just so much work.  They are just a full time job.  Everything is so difficult with them.  This new friend is just so easy going and likes the same things I like.  She likes to go out and about and is ready in a moments notice.  It is perfect.  (and obviously we have kids about the same age...hers is just a couple months younger.  The catch is that her husband just interviewed for a promotion.  If he gets it they will have to move to another state.  I hate to say I am rooting against this, it will be good for them I am sure...I just don't want her to move away.  He interviewed last Monday and they still haven't heard anything back.  I will be happy for them if they do.
The baby and I have such a busy week coming up.  All fun things!  We went to the zoo and dinner today, tomorrow we have a lunch date, Wednesday is mom's group, Thursday is the carnival, and Friday my mom coming in town and back to the carnival on Saturday.  The weather is also going to be good finally. 

Now for the rant.  When I was pregnant my hubby and I wanted to tell everyone in person.  We did not want to do a facebook announcement.  We also were telling everyone in order...family, close friend, more distant friends, etc.  Also we are not close to his family AT ALL...we never see them, we never talk to them, we don't spend holiday's with them, they don't come to parties, etc.  However, when we were pregnant we did call each one of them and tell them that in person.  As soon as he told his brother Kevin...Kevin immediately went to facebook and announced it to the world.  I was totally pissed.  He stole my thunder and we were not done telling our friends...some of our friends found out that way and called us a little upset...it was not his place to say anything.  If the pregnant mother has not announced it on her facebook then it is not ok to announce it on yours.
ANYWAYS...he called my husband today to tell him his girlfriend is pregnant and getting married and at the end of the conversation he told my husband to tell me to not put it on facebook because they are trying to keep it low key.  WTF are you kidding me...he stole my thunder and we don't even talk but once every 3 or 4 years.  Also I would never do that it hurt me very bad and I never air my dirty laundry on facebook.  HOWEVER I really FEEL like going ahead and doing it, but out of respect for my husband I couldn't.  But I want to.
