Saturday With Friends
YES! I have friends, shaddap!
We had friends over today, B&L with E&B, their kids. It was REALLY nice to have adults to hang out with! hooo hooo! We went to their house 2 weeks ago, but I forgot to blog about it (yeah, I know, I suck). So they came over with their 2 kids who are about the same age as mine (about 6-7 mos older than mine, actually). We had fun and just hung out and played with the kids, had adult conversation then had a KICK-ASS Milky Way cake that I made (yes, I fucking bake too, GAWD you people are relentless!!). They even brought me turtle things (a glass candle holder with a blue candle to match my blue house!) and a bottle of Bailey's YESSSS! Complete with Bailey's tin, how cool are they?! OH! and trivia playing cards, OMG those ROCK! (not as much as my turtle, but pretty damn close!)
And then of course they told me how cute my dogs and cats are (MAJOR + for them!
) oh, and the kids (all 4 BOYS) played soooo well together, no major fights (just a couple of "BT won't let me play Nintendo!" & "E isn't doing this board right!" LOL ahhhhh our kids and a video game, HOW SWEET IT IS! 
My DH and I had totally forgotten what it was like to have friends, you see once you have children your friends run, away, fast. So you're stuck with dirty diapers, doctor visits, cabin fever, and no one who can carry on a coherent conversation. Then every once in a while you go to a homeschool group meeting and you meet a cool-ass mama with kids your kids' age and who thinks along the same lines as you, then the world is A-OK once again. First, though, you have to get through all those crazy mamas with their wild ideals and chauvinistic husbands who HATE you. Then you find a cool-mama with a husband who might actually LIKE you and your DH and your kids.
In the past (even as a kid) no man has ever really liked me, parents (moms and dads) ALWAYS hated me (she's the girl with a mind of her own, noooooooo!) and then when I was older and married, husbands started to hate me (Oh gawd, she's that crazy chick who puttin' those crazy ideas in your head that you, a stupid woman, actually might know a thing or two, no more visits with HER!). So you see, it all boils down to one couple with whom you and your DH (and hers!) get along, swimmingly. Then the world is ok. You finally believe, that even if you have to go through this hell of a life, you'll have good friends by your side. And that, that, makes ALL the difference.
So, thank you to my initialed friends, B&L and their AWESOME kids, E&B. For they are the reason I haven't gone abso-fucking-lutely crazy and started shooting up public places (well, that and my Dh won't let me own a gun, bastard.)
ALL HAIL COOL FRIENDS!!!!

I think I have two friends that I've had since high school,and one that I've had as an adult before kids. Post kids, maybe 2 or 3...It's funny how much emphasis in school is put on "popularity", and friendships, yet once we're grown...one or two good friends, that's all we really need.

Yay, cool friends!
Are you sure that's ALL that happened? I can't imagine that was ALL. I think you need to review your day and make sure you included it ALL.
