Having a pity party today, anyone want to join me?
It always hits me about a week after hubby leaves, and then I get bummed. I am very sensitive this week and am thinking of checking out of all the chat groups I am in for a few days.
I think I have realized that my "best friend" is no longer, and we really do not have any close 'friends' that aren't our family. And even that is sketch b/c I guess I would consider my best friend my mom, and I think that might depress me. NOT that my mom is bad, she is wonderful....its just that I guess that both of us would like to become close with a couple that is around our age, has kids or doesn't, we don't care, but they have to like them and tolerate them.
I have tried not to grow apart from my friends, but when they don't call you back or tell you that they are just soooo busy they can't call back or whatever, then I just can't be the only one working on a relationship. You know, I am busy too - I read one of my friends posts of the recount of her day and it made me giggle. Just because I am a stay at home mom doesn't mean that I don't do anything all day and some days you just don't stop moving - literally. My point is, I usually make it a huge point to call or email people back and I haven't seen this happen recently.
I also take things with my business personally. I have been thinking of a way to NOT take things personally, but I guess that is the nature of being a woman. I want to make sure that people are 10k % happy with what they received - for example, my grandma ordered some jewelry. She tried it on and hated it on her, so I told her I would take it back. She was shocked, and happy. I told her to find something else b/c I want her to be happy with her purchases and never upset. I also misprinted a name on a card, and immediately fixed it. The client was happy, but it upset me - I guess I am just harder on myself than others would be.
Ok, see told you PITY PARTY - woo-hoo. Sit down, crack a beer and join me. lol.
