The other issue is that we never see any of our friends anymore. Well, rarely. There's one friend and her hubby that we do see pretty frequently, and in part it is because they live the closest. Mainly though it's because they are good with keeping in touch and setting up dates with us. But, as for the rest...I don't know. It's not for lack of trying at least on my part. We have several parties here at our house a year, but lately even that it's like people are just too busy or whatever. I *know* people are busy, I'M busy too! But, I make time for friends, for a life other than this house and my son and hubby. I just wish someone would throw me a bone! A girls night, a couples night, a bunch of friends get together for no damn good reason! I don't know, maybe even a call back?!

Ugh, this is coming off wrong. I had this written so much better but then DLand ate it!! I guess I just wanted to vent a little. Maybe it's our age, most friends we have both people are working, they have a kid, life is busy. But, is a few times a year that much? I just don't want to turn around in 5 years and have no friends. But I really don't know what more *I* can do. I'm not going to keep calling someone who isn't calling back. Just today my one friend who was supposed to get back to me the day before Memorial Day about whether they were going to come to our party called me back. A MONTH later. I am still sort of mad and I just feel like I don't even want to talk about it right now. I know maybe it's petty and small, but it's how I feel. I just want some courtesy and some respect. Some loyalty and friendship. I didn't know it would be SO hard to find amoung people who I've been friends with for years.

Well, on the bright side I've joined meetupdotcom and joined two mom's groups. Can't remember if I wrote about it here but it's pretty cool. One is a group that does stuff more during the day and the other is more at night or weekends. I was so excited for my first ladies night out last weekend but it got cancelled! Go figure. I also took a leap and decided to sort of hook back up with a friend from HS that is on myspace that I've been talking with. Since I couldn't find anyone else and no one was returning my calls...she was more than happy to go see Sheryl Crow with me! I of course am thrilled. I'm hoping that maybe she and I can hang out more and maybe it will pay off. Sometimes you never know. I also met two moms from the groups that I hit it off with. DJ and I had a "alone" playdate with one last Thurs. (alone meaning not with the group but we just planned it on our own haha.)

Ok, well, I could ramble on but I should end it here. I need to order 100 plus prints on Shutterfly before I go to bed. Anyone have any insight on my troubles let me know!!
