to like this town. But it's so hard. I'm a very friendly social person, I think, yet I have never had a harder time making a friend in this town. It could be because I don't have an out of the home job. Or it could be because I lock myself up in the house and don't leave for days at a time. Who knows. It's just extremely frustrating. I'm not a shy person, by any means, really, yet here I am, friendless except for my husband. At least I have him, right? Right?!?
This weekend is the Disney on Ice weekend. Every year for the kids' combined birthdays, Aunt Dorothy takes them to Disney on Ice. And every year, I fail to tell them until the bedtime before the actual event because I am mean. Very mean. I'm one of those moms who hate having to say, "No, not tomorrow. It's in a week." "Nooo, not tomorrow. It is still 4 days away!" "Oh, for goodness sake's! There are still 2 days away and if you don't stop asking I'm going to scream!" Which I then give a pitiable scream which makes them cackle with delight. They like to torture me and I encourage it. I'm a glutton, what can I say?
My husband is obsessed with grass or lack there of it in our yard. For some crazy reason, he seems to think it's possible for us to have lush green grass in our front and back yard. So every year he spends an outrageous amount of money on fertilizer, grass seed, and various tools trying to make our yard look like a magazine picture. Now, this either amuses me or ticks me off, depending on my mood. Because, the funny thing is, he seems to forget we have 3 kids and a darn dog. Seriously. I try to explain how as long as we have kids and the dog there is just no way to have nice yards. And if someone comes along and says, oh, hey, yeah you can, you can shut your piehole! I have figured he has spent at least $300 every spring on grass crap since we have moved here. That's $900. The cost of building a new deck off the side of our house. Guess which I would rather have?
I am aware, by the way, that my "blogs" are more of random train of conciousness than true blogs. But that is how my brain works and how I talk in real life. Hey! I think I just figured out the whole friend thing. I'm just too hard to follow. *sigh*

I have been thinking a lot lately about friends and friendship and how it's hard to meet people you just plain old click with instantly now, isn't it?
You and I are so alike. But then, we are related...
It is really hard to click with people now that I'm older. I guess I'm a lot less likely to put up with crap from other people than I would have even 5 years ago. It still stinks, though.
