I have been feeling lately that I seem to only get phone calls when people need something and it is like they forgot we are friends and have a friendship...that can be soooooooo disheartening and make you feel bad all together. <br /><br />Trust me I too am so blessed to have 3 sweet babies...but lets face sometimes it is great to talk to someone over the age of 7 lol.<br /><br />p.s. addilyn is getting so big!The Olive Tree Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480207748236952289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-31565231861802126722014-05-23T02:53:03.293-05:002014-05-23T02:53:03.293-05:00You're doing good mama.

It really is so hard to have a social life as a mom of a toddler/baby though. Even when I do get together with friends, I feel like I'm so consumed with Klair and keeping her out of mischief that I don't really spend quality time with them... sigh. Like you said though, it's a good problem to have!

The hard just gets different. Just wait until you have to explain puberty, etc. to Addilyn - you'd gladly go back to diaper disasters at that point. :) The encouraging part - you are not in this alone!

We're used to being around people ALL THE TIME. I always have to have something planned it get out of the house during he summer, some moms just aren't planners. I recently had a conversation with a couple of girlfriends from our new class at church and they said they weren't planners but to invite them along when I decided to go somewhere. It can be hard when you feel like the planner, but if they didn't want to hang out they'd just say no, right? Anyway, keep your head up, things continue to get easier as Addi will get older.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666593890385173482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-11029941192088870952014-05-22T06:55:34.649-05:002014-05-22T06:55:34.649-05:00Oy!
