Friends? What Friends??

As single parents I know we can become very involved in our children and their activites...or as I learned yesterday...maybe too involved.  Between shuttling kids all around town to their basketball/volleyball practices and our out of town tournaments, it seems that there is NEVER time for anything else.  This is just one of the many reasons why I'm not dating....but that's another story!

So I'm over at our new department getting some training before our office moves next week when I was approached a soon-to-be fellow co-worker.  She's coming over to me all excited and smiley and says, "I know you from somewhere!   You look SO familiar.  Who are some of the friends you hang out with?"  Tell me why my first thought was....Jordan, Amaia, and Kennedy!!  My second thought was....I don't have friends I hang out with.  :-( *TEAR*  What is going on here?!?!  Now I know the life of a single parent can be pretty hectic, but so much that I have forgotten about myself??

I'm just so exhausted all of the time that I don't feel like doing anything so going out with friends isn't even on my mind!! I just wanna hit the pillow ASAP!!  Ya know?!  I really don't even talk to some of my best friends on the phone or by test!  I know....this is a sad, sad situation folks!  But for the past 9 months we have quite possibly spent more time in the car than at home.  Our car became our dinner table...and I still have the crumbs in the seats and floorboards to prove it...and we were practically living out of suitcases for the past 6 months because every time I turn around, Jordan has another volleyball tournament out of town.  Where and how do I find the time to hang out with people outside of my usual 12 & under crowd, when all I want to do is REST?!  *sigh*

So I guess maybe my best friends are my girls...but ya know what....I'm perfectly okay with that!  At least for now....check back in with me next week and see if I feel the same way.  LOL!  I have another 12 years until Kennedy is 18 and after that I'm FREE!!

By the way....Jordan will be 12 in about a week and a half so shoot some prayers up for me.  I'm feeling like I'm preparing for battle or something with this upcoming birthday!  LOL!


Peace, hearts, and rockets!
