A Rare Friendship

 

So the weekend is officially here. I am sitting here at my laptop playing internet girl looking things up on wikipedia, catching up on facebook, listening to the stereo and blogging. (How exciting, right!) I chatted with an out of state friend for a few minutes earlier. the normal vent about our exes and catch up on missed time since our last conversation. It always reminds me how much I miss her. She used to watch my kids when I was at work or needed a night off. I would go over early or hang out for hours at a time just so we could hang out and talk. We could have sat around all night discussing everything. She was there when my youngest son fell off the slide behind our place and broke both arms, and was there when my oldest son fell off the same slide and broke his arm three years later. (Sadly my kids gained my klutz gene) Last year she moved away.    (Over the past few months I have really noticed how many of my friends have moved out of town and state. Over ten years in the area, over eight plus jobs and more than nine different places that I have resided in this city and it all comes down to my man is the only one in this city that I hang with (which is great, he is amazing) I gotta join a group or something!!)    Tomorrow I plan on cleaning and hanging out with the kids (only four tomorrow and the rest come Sunday) and getting back on the phone with my friend again for as long as we can get away with it (being that we will both have kiddos breathing down our necks.) Hopefully getting our friend fix that will last us til the next time we get to talk which is not as often as we use to or as much as I would like to. It is awesome to have friends that remain just as special thousands of miles away as they were when they were three doors down. In my experience not many friendships last this way. I guess I got blessed with this lady!
