Friends, Relationship, and an Apology

I would like to start this post with an apology. I have been really bad at many things lately.




  1. Blog posting - just not enough time in the day.


  2. cleaning house - see #1


  3. Relationships - everyone has fallen into the cracks lately - husband, kids, girlfriends, family.

So this is my public apology. I am sorry if I have neglected you lately.


It isn't because I don't care, because I do.


It isn't because I don't want to check in with you, cause I do.


I have had to become a little selfish lately with my time. Getting the kids where they need to be at the right date and time and trying to spend a little time with my husband in between school and homework is about all that I can manage.


But lately I have been thinking (fretting) about the relationships in my life. So here is my written therapy session.


I choose to have friends that support me. And I support them. We don't have to talk every day or every week. Heck, we can go for months without saying a word, but the minute one of us reaches out to the other, it is as if we never missed a beat. Thank you for being that friend.


Thank you for telling me I need to loose weight, need a haircut, that my shorts are cute, and that calling in pizza was a great dinner. Thank you for telling me what I NEED to hear and what I want to hear.


Thank you for not judging me. For not keeping score of the last time I called, who watched who's kid last, for not asking about your latest achievement. I really do care and want to know. I have had a momentary laps in judgement.


I promise that I will try harder. This semester is almost over and I will be back to normal in a few weeks.


Much Love,


Christine
