I'm practically down the street - so I think I should get the job of BFF!LOL It's so strange when you lose touch with a friend that you were with all the time. It's hard to transition back in.

My BFF lives 5 hours away and although we try to see each other once a year and email often, it just isn't the same as when we were younger and had fewer responsibilities.

Am I excited? No effing way. I've been a SAHM for so long that now I've got the opposite of needing "me time." Any time spent not with kids or actually just doing anything fun at all leaves me feeling so guilty, I usually end up backing out. Well, I did have one weekend away in April...one weekend in 17 years....see what I mean?

Then I saw her new show advertised last night. That girl is whacked.<BR/><BR/>I have a best friend that lives an hour+ away from me. I have several other good friends, but she's still #1. Even if you tried to replace your M, it wouldn't work.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this post hits home and makes me weepy and apparently rambly. I'm sorry your BFF lives so far away. :(Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334752427076733481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417054982098413742.post-13594240141680048002008-09-11T08:44:00.000-04:002008-09-11T08:44:00.000-04:00Great post!

Last winter, I suddenly started buying things on ebay, like my favorite Joan Jett LP, photos of my college, and framed pics from my childhood vacation spot...I realized I was trying to reclaim "the old me" - Now I've hung these things up, and it makes me feel better.<BR/><BR/>I think it's a product of being "the caretaker" - you lose yourself along the way.<BR/><BR/><BR/>p.s.

I'm feeling the same way; I just never in a million years thought a mom in Manhattan would feel it too. Yes, ignorance is alive and well in Minnesota today. Manhattan is my utopia! I'm disillusioned that the entire city is just like the The Today Show. Which HA!, right? But, stay with me now (I know, its fierce right now) it makes me feel Better, because I could never live up to that image. Well who can?! This is an A-Ha! moment for me, so thanks very much. And Good Luck finding another friend in the City. Ask the Lord for one, it really works.
