TGIF

Thank Goodness I (have) Friends!

I have survived these last few days because I have friends. It is so true. I feel hugely blessed!
Reasons why my friends made the difference recently:

• My relatives are my friends. Sisters-in-law are lifesavers. Lori gave me an opportunity to help out, which I appreciate! I love to help out! Cristy let me borrow her truck, which helped me get rid of my coffee table and have more space in my living room. Also, by letting me borrow her truck, there happened to be a MoTab cd playing, which made all the difference in my mood--beautiful showtunes that calmed my nerves. The homebodies played with my baby, which always makes me happy to see him adored and spoiled (by someone else).



• My visiting-teachees are my friends. My friend called me to babysit for her--yay! I love to help out! She is great and her little girl is adorable. We went swimming in the backyard. We ate Mac-n-Cheese. We ate crackers and frosting. And she (the little girl) asked why my baby was "chewing" on me (nursing). That made me smile....and cover up better.
  
  
• My friends stick by me through the years (and the tears). My dear friend Jannica came by the other night to just be with me. She had just returned from a week of girls' camp, was tired and needed to unwind. But she came over, played with my baby, and joined me for dinner. I think she saved my life (or at least my sanity). Thank you for adult conversation and saying that my cooking is good. :)


My mother-in-law is my friend.

• She saved me this morning. I had an awful bout of food poisoning and she came by, brought me a drink, and took my baby off my hands. It's awful to be hunched over the toilet, unable to get up, and hear your baby screaming, knowing there is nothing you can do at the moment to help him. Thank you for saving me!
  
  
• My Honey is my best friend. He came home early from his campout this weekend and helped me out by giving me "alone time." I had been inside my little apartment for most of the week with a sick baby--I was going stir crazy! I was so sad to be left home by myself with a whimpering baby on a Friday night, but he came back quickly Saturday morning and gave me time to go off and do something by myself. I don't know what I'd do without my Honey. *sniff*
