I just have to confess this and hopefully not many of you read the blog so I can say I confessed it and then it will be like that letter that you never actually mail......
I am so jealous of Amy's weekend plans!
I LOVE my family, love my church, and love the fact that I am moving, but I want to be a hip and cool and do all of this fun stuff with Amy! I mean, going to a cool Arty flick at the Angelica, buying fresh, Delicious stuff at Farmers Market, drinking Sangria on a Sunday afternoon! Oh my goodness-what a dream weekend!!!!!
Would you guys think I was horrible if I deserted my precious baby, my delightful husband and my church obligations and had a Hip and Cool Girl Weekend????? I could let my husband take care of Annabelle, and pack up our house, get rid of the bee hive in our backyard, and repair the rot iron fence that our picky buyers are requiring! It would not be that hard---and it is important to have time with the girls from church ;)
Well-that would be horrible-And I would miss my precious baby and my delightful husband (I would not miss the church obligations---shh-don't tell anyone).
But, it hard hanging out with you single girls that have time to do all of this fun stuff! I feel a bit overwhelmed trying to hang in the balance between being a working mom and doing "mom" stuff and also trying to build connections with your girls! I LOVE YOU GIRLS and I want to hang out with you so badly! But, I feel like the unpopular kid in school that tries to tag along but never quite fits in........ I don't fit in with the moms and I don't fit in with the hip and cool girls. I Don't have a place!!!!!
Why do we have to have these labels-singles, married, parents etc. And why do these labels limit us???? Each one does and each one has its rewards, but what do you do to find balance between all of these labels?
That is all for my confession-now pretend I never said anything and I will continue to act like I don't need anything from anybody!!!!!!!

Amy-
I am surprised you say this about not fitting in. I personally love that I know you and that you are in a different part of life than me. I will learn/have learned a lot from you and your story even in the short time I have known you. I can see how it must be hard to balance all the parts of your life, but I hope I can encourage you that you fit in just fine! I hope when you do find time we can hang out more often. I enjoy it very much:)
Amy, you are so funny. You and I fit in no matter what we think! Honestly, I would give anything to have a husband and a baby and not feeling the need to have to "get out there". I mean, that phase of my life should be over by now. (internal note to self: that is the worldly devil speaking, not me, and I'm going to choose not to listen to him)
Which makes me think...when should we have another card party? We can do it at my place or maybe we can think up a unique place to bring all the peeps together to play some cards!
XXOO
Amy - I don't know what you are talking about lady because you're the coolest kid on the block!
