I'm posting on my new laptop. My hubby went to the store yesterday and called and said he'd found a good deal on a new one for me and did I want it. UMMMM, YEAH! He set it up for me and everything. He is so sweet. Part of the reason is so he and I can be on the computer at the same time, before we had to wait for someone to get off of it. Four people and one laptop doesn't work.
The new one also lets me look at my goddesses blogs too. For some reason the older one decided biscuits blog was not for me. It would not let me look at it. Not a problem now.
I've been off work for three days and I'm in shock. Now I do the the schedule for my team so you would think that this would not surprise me, but when you don't do it on purpose and then realize on Thursday that you are off for the next three days it's kind of cool. No body better call out today. I won't be happy.
I saw one of my friends yesterday, she and I don't see each other much these days, and I could tell she misses me. I miss her too. The problem we have is that she wants to see me sans children and when I'm not at work that rarely happens. She also wants to me drive to her and even though I live only a couple of minutes from where she works she considers that too far to drive to see me. We live on opposites sides of town. You can see the problem here.

Yay for the new laptop!
Not too sure about the friend ... doesn't seem very friendly to me. I know sometimes when you've been friends for a loooooong time, you're basically friends with that kid you grew up with. But we all grow up, move on, make life choices. And, although maybe your friend doesn't have kids, she needs to realize that YOUR kids are a part of YOU.
Congrats on the new laptop!
As for the friend, I don't think distance should stop a person from visiting a friend. Um...obviously, seeing as I go a perty fer distance to see y'all. I don't see how a few minutes could be such an inconvenience.
Kelly: The kids part is the most difficult for me. She was excited when I had my son, but never came to see noodle when she was born. In fact, I think noodle was several months old before she saw her and I took her to my friends house. My friend didn't say anything, but I could tell she wasn't pleased when I showed up with my baby.
Biscuit: I agree, distance shouldn't matter, but for some reason you would think I was suggesting she drive an extra thirty miles. She would rather drive half an hour home and have me drive there too before she would drive to my house. I'm willing to drive to her but I would like her to be willing to do the same for me.
You guys are probably picking up the resentment here. I want to keep the friend, but my feelings about this are strong.
I would feel the same way. Friends are friends, but your children are a part of you.
Some people just don't like children, no matter what. And they're irritated with EVERYONE'S kids. So it's probably not personal, but I know it still hurts.
Some people just don't bend to others. Sounds like she wants to call the turf and all the shots.
However, she could secretly be jealous that you have kids. Maybe. There are a lot of reasons for people to act weird. If you had time for lunch dates, you could move her to that time slot on your life... we do need different people around for different reasons...
