The thing is- for 10 years I was uber career woman, and for the past 2 I have been home with now 2 tiny kiddos. Three years ago I would have posted exactly what you did. But now, whether fortunately (that I am able to stay home with my children) or unfortunately (it has meant a significant reduction in adult contact), my day is spent dealing with babies/toddlers and the issues that go with that. I *hope* that the lack of adult contact/professional career hasn't resulted in loss of so many brain cells that I forget that others don't necessarily want to know every single detail of my day. Trust me- I am very cognizant that they don't.
On the plus side- I have never, and I repeat never, posted the result to some lame-o "What does you foot size say about you" or a "If you were a rodent, what type of rodent would you be?" type quiz. Come to think of it, I don't think I have even taken any of those dumb quizzes.
Does that earn me a tiny bit of redemption for the occasional non-gross bambino status update?

Ha. Yes, you're redeemed.
Also, just so you know, I don't hate kids or anything (I have a nephew).
I really don't mind the occasional kid-related update (because they ARE a part of your life). Example: I don't mind knowing if you went to Six Flags for Little Joey's birthday.
It's the TMI and emotional overshares that get me, lol.
There are some folks who make me wonder if they've forgotten that the adult world exists.
