Before I start "venting" let me make it very clear that I am VERY thankful for the life I have, the family that that surrounds us and friends that keep in touch.
First things first...I am so sick of texting, facebooking and instagraming in order to stay in touch with friends. Miss the days when a phone call wasn't ignored and when friends would pop on in and talk for hours. How true can a friendship really be when a conversation can only be read and when emotions are sent over through a smiley or winky face? I want to SEE those emotions so we can experience them together.
Is anyone else feeling like this? Or is it just me?
I realize us gals are busy being SUPERWOMEN but Hey! Our grandma's and mother's still made time for friends without all this technology and from what I have been told, it's really NOT that hard.
So, I'm hosting a Bunco gathering tomorrow night and couldn't be more excited! Adult time...and I get to SEE some ladies that I haven't in a few months or even years! This is my little step to making a change. I am hoping our group only gets bigger and becomes a monthly routine.
My life is so predictable. My day starts between 6-7am and ends by 10pm. Full of taking care of other people. I love it but something needs to change. Ideal situation would be, an hour 3x a week to hit the gym (re-group, get skinny and detox)
maybe even take a bath 2x a week to shave these gorilla looking legs, instead of taking a 10 minute shower that consists of me poking my head out of the shower door every 2 minutes because I think one of my kids is crying. I really don't think that is to much to ask.
The truth is, I can do all of that.
So why do I feel so guilty when I do? How do I get over that?
I feel ya! Cady and I are so looking forward to Bunco tomorrow night. It will be fun to meet new friends and have some girl time. And you can do all of the above and you deserve to do all of it! The guilt will subside eventually, I think.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you know that no matter how much we text and don't actually speak, or not see each other too often, I still love you. Let's try to make more of an effort to actually talk or be together!!! XOXOX
