why it didn't really dawn on me sooner who knows...but any who...i had a friend call me a few days ago and she said that her mil, rs pres in my ward, had "that look" (aka she's worried) when my friend asked her how i was doing...i admitted freely to said friend that i am tired and of course stressed about money (which she knew from before she and her dh moved due to a job transfer) but today i realized that there is more to my stress and general mood. i feel isolated...i have "friends" but i don't...does that make sense?
there are people here where i live that i talk easily with and enjoy my time spent with them, but we don't just call eachother up to do stuff unless it's a play date for our kids, which don't happen very often...now i know this is just basically how life happens once you're a mom...but still...it would be nice to have someone to call and plan something fun once in a blue moon w/o the kids...even it it's just a trip to walmart by ourselves to do the shopping...but alas...for this i have to travel several states away...i know i really shouldn't be complaining...i have a great life, fabulous husband, adorable sweet loving kids, and most of the time my health...but it would be really nice to add a friend in this list of someone that i felt connected with
