Friends....where are they?

So I have been brooding today and in a mood. Why various reasons really but one of them is not having any friends. I have been stuck home with the kids most days and it's really getting to me. I have some friends who live out of state but I NEED friends near by too and it's just not happening. Sure I have acquatiences but I need some real friends. The dictionary describes friend as one attached to another by affection or esteem, a favored companion. I know a few ppl that would fit into that but they don't seem to want to be that way with me. Is it b/c they don't have the time, don't need anymore friends or what? Maybe it's just me. Clay keeps telling me that I am a good person blah blah blah but holy shit where are the friends if all that is true? I am so lonely and bored to death I don't know what to do with myself most days. Is my kids that bad that noone wants us around? I don't ever get invited over to anyone's house and I get left out of plans for other stuff in the groups I am in. It's depressing and really bothering me lately. I really don't know what to do. I can keep going like Clay says I should but sometimes I just don't feel like it. It's so hard to make friends as it is add everything else in it's almost impossible. I have to get a grip on myself and start over and try to make some friends yet again. I feel like I do this all the freaking time but nothing ever pans out. I feel like I have some good qualties as a friend ppl just have to take the time to get to know me to find out for themselves. Don't write me off I am a person too who needs friends and comapionship damnit!!!! I can't be the only one in this type of situation. So what do you do? I have joined playgroups and put myself out there. I even posted on Craigslist looking for friends. I know desperate but I guess I am for some friendships lol.

When does it become time.....

When is it time to give something up? Is there ever a right time? Do you just know that it's time to part ways with a friend, an object or obsession? I think there comes a time when you look at a friend or something else and just know it's time to move on. I think I have come to this crossroad myself. The friendship has run it's course and it's not going to be a parting of ways in a mean way b/c that is just not who I am. If this person calls I will talk to them for however long they talk but my loyalty and trust won't be there I don't think. People drift apart and in and out of your lives all the time. I think for a reason and it comes to a point sometimes you just have to let go. This happened with a friend I had in WA when we lived there we depened on each other b/c Danny was gone all the time and I was alone with Hunter and she was alone with twins. We had a lot of good times and she was a friend to me when I needed one the most. We no longer speak and have lost contact with each other but I won't forget her. I guess some people come in touch your life and quietly leave your life touched forever.

Hi all

Not much has been going on lately obviously since I haven't been posting and all. They finally got finished with the flooring and we can resume our normal lives and get the house back together. Did all that now nothing....I tried to go to a playdate today but the playarea at the mall is closed so that didn't work out for me and I couldn't really go anywhere else b/c Hunter has half days all week at school. So we came home big fun for us. My house is full of static it's driving nuts. I sprayed some static guard around but it doesn't seem to last long. Any ideas on what I should do??

So all the flooring in the house is now done. I am still waiting for my cabinets in the kitchen. I will post some pictures and let you all see my new carpet and flooring in the kitchen. My bathroom downstairs is pretty much remolded completely. I hope this helps out when we decide to sell our house.

What is wrong with people today?

So I went grocery shopping at the commmissary today. And it was busy I expected that and the little old people were out in full force and so were the singles and families. I got to go alone which I don't do that often lately so I could get the max amount of coupons and save us some money. Anyway I try to be polite, stay out of other's way and in general mind my own business. However I do smile and make small talk if needed. So some lady and I were at the freezer case and I was waiting my turn. She turned and looked at me and I smiled. She gave me a stare and turned and left. No smile in return. What the hell is wrong with people today? Is it so hard to be nice to strangers when they are being nice to you? I wasn't doing anything wrong and was just standing there NOT IN HER WAY but still I got the look. I wonder if people are like that with me b/c I am overweight? This woman wasn't skinny herself so that would be a little hypocritical if that were the case. I just don't understand why people are so unfriendly. We are all going through tough times as a country and we are all stressed out but come on to not even acknowledge a friendly gesture that is just wrong. I try to do good things throughout the day letting someone in traffic or line and things like that and when someone does something nice for me I say thanks or way and acknowledge the good deed. There is just not enough niceness in the world anymore.....
And talk about food prices. What the hell happened there? I couldn't believe some of the prices at the store. I kind of long for the older days when things were much cheaper than they are now. Of course alot of convience wouldn't be there either I don't guess and I am pretty big on easy and convience at times. I am not one who can make biscuits from scratch everytime I get a craving for them or a cake everytime I want to bake one. Such is life I guess.

PCOS

This is what I have. It is an informative website. I am going to see an Endocronologist in Feb for this condition.

Update on the house project

Hello my wonderful friends out there in internet land. My day was fun and eventful as usual as a stay home mom. I got to leave the house today with the kids but that's ok. We went to the mall to play for a bit. It got super crowded and Lucas started to meltdown so we had to leave. It was ok he was much better after his nap. I now have carpet in most of the house except for the hall upstairs. They did painting and patchwork and trimming most of the day while the carpet guy did his thing. I was glad when they had a short day and left about 2:30. I want the work done and the house back to myself. I am tired of my stuff being everywhere but where it's supposed to be. They had to take out 2 cabinets so my food is sitting in a big box on the floor and my kitchen is just a mess with nowhere to put stuff. We did get the living room and dining room looking almost normal again. We decided not to put the rail back up between the living room and dining room. It looks different it will take some getting used to. They took it down to put the carpet on the step down and we decided not to put it back up.

I actually cooked a meal for dinner so after that we went and got the kid's hair cut. They all needed a cut so we had to shell out the money for that. They look much better though and they were pretty good for them so I can't complain much about it lol. Now we are just relaxing and having a drink and we get the weekend free before they come back to finish work on Monday. As for me I am heading to the grocery store tomorrow. I am sure it will be busy the Saturday after payday and all but it has to be done. I am going alone so I can make sure to use all the coupons that I can. It takes a bit longer so Danny is going to stay home with the kids. Lucas and Delilah get antsy sitting after a while and we can't let them out of the cart b/c they run and it's so busy at the commissary anyway most of the time. It's been so cold here like most of the east coast and mid west lately. Today especially so. I wish it would snow. Me and Katie was talking about it the other day about how the little ones don't really know what snow is. Hunter remembers it from when we were in Ohio once it snowed and he got to play in it. L and D know what snow is b/c of the tv but don't really understand that it's pretty to look at but cold to touch lol. Wishful thinking probably in VA since it might flurry but we don't get much else here except for those rare times. Obviously not any in the most recent years. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

We have new carpet...

In the living room and dining room we have the new carpet down. I like it, it looks really nice and they got it down pretty quickly I guess. However it didn't go fast enough. Me and the kids were upstairs the entire day that sucked royally. After a while they just was not happy being up there with me. Danny couldn't come home early today either for me to take them anywhere. And hoping they would nap well I put them down but they didn't. I know it was hard with all the banging and I don't think tomorrow is going to be any better they are doing the stairs and upstairs outside their room tomorrow. If they get that far tomorrow the one guy said they wouldn't be done till Monday. I just want it done and over with. My house is a disaster area but I atleast got my living room back in order. The rest of the downstairs not so much. I have to wait for them to put the cabinets back in the kitchen so I can put my food back up...And one of my drawers on my computer desk broke not sure if Danny can fix it. Today has just been a long day and I have had a headache with the kids not listening and just being bratty in general. I am ready for bed but watching tv will do I guess. I will post some pics of the new flooring when I take some..

Life right now...

So for those who don't know they are replacing my flooring in pretty much the whole house. This being due to overflowing toilet downstairs. The bathroom, entryway and part of the kitchen are done. It's a bit darker than what we had but I like it and I think it will go good with the carpet I picked out. The kids are being slightly a PITA. They like to escape the living room and try to get in the way. The workers went to lunch today and they had a field day with their shopping carts and toys in the kitchen. There is nothing in there really so they had free reing and being out of the living room and all. I am sure they are going stir crazy as am I being home all week and not doing anything fun. It's been cold or I would have took them to the park or it's been raining. It's always something I guess.

The Chiefs exam is upon us again. Danny takes it tomorrow. Wish him luck I am hoping this is our year as I do every year for the past few. We are going to put our house on the market again and give it another try on selling it. We have just outgrown our house here we need to move to something bigger. I don't know what we will do try housing or rent but I don't want to buy again. I know now is a good time and all but I just don't want to. It doesn't bother us really about putting it up b/c all I have to do is try to keep it clean which is a chore in itsself. However we do need something bigger so we have to try. That's an update on us for right now :)

New Blog

So everyone is jumping on the Blog bandwagon so I thought I would jump on too. I will try to update whenever I can or have something to say. Happy reading everyone!
